Tonight I thought I'd do a post on a fairly new brand from the team behind H&M, & Other Stories.
It's a slightly more costly brand than H&M, but still has the same minimal yet quirky style. There is currently only the flagship store in London's Regent Street (which I will get to one day!), but that doesn't matter, because the & Other Stories website is incredible.
As the name suggests, the collection is all about telling a story; 'In The Pink' or 'Sporty Chic' are all brought together in one click. The site looks stunning, with almost a mood board of both items on hangers and artistic fashion stories.
The collection was built around the beauty section first, in which there is a huge variety of skincare, make up and bath products. The clothing is refreshingly simple and classic, and the price range varies but I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable some of it is!
Here's my favourite picks from the site:
Shirt with Detachable Collar in Cranberry £65
I have an unnatural attachment to dark red, wine coloured clothing, and this is no exception... would definitely keep the cool androgynous collar on!
Abigail Lorick Oxfords in Indigo £79
I have a ridiculous amount of brogue shoes but these are amazing, updated for summer with a transparent plastic upper. Also come in Ivory.
Platform Ankle Boots in Black £95
I love the edgy zip detailing, and the nice chunky platform means even I should be able to manage walking in them!
(Yes! It's only 7 quid!)
I had to read this several times before the price sank in, what a bargain! Also fits in nicely with the monochrome trend, too good to be true?
Satchel Bag in Warm Ivory £45
Claret and cream is a really big colour combo this season, and this preppy satchel bags encompasses it perfectly.
Multi-ring Bracelet in Gold £10
The jewellery collection is really sleek and minimal, with simple chains, shapes and studs: right up my street!
Lip Colour in Prunella Pink £12
The range of lipstick and eyeshadow colours is huge, and although £12 is more than I would normally pay for a lipstick, I might have to scrape the funds together for this gorgeously gothic purple.
I would encourage everyone to check out & Other Stories, it's simple and refreshing and effortlessly stylish, and there's something for everyone. I can't wait to hopefully order something soon!
Have you tried anything from & Other Stories?
Thanks for reading!
Sophie.
