Rebecca’s Picks – How To Spend €1000 in Brown Thomas

If you’re anything like us, you’ll have daydreamed of going into Brown Thomas and spending to your heart’s content. Catch any member of Her.ie staring into space with a vacant expression and the chances are she’s dreaming of what she will buy once she wins the lotto. No matter what time of year you go into the iconic department store, you’re guaranteed to find something you MUST have. In the fourth of a series featuring Team Her’s Brown Thomas wishlists, here are the pieces Rebecca is currently lusting after. ___________________________________ MICHAEL MICHAEL KORS, Double Breasted Trench, €177 (on sale, original price €295) With our Irish weather, a trench coat is a great way to stay warm, dry and fashionable all year around. This Michael Kors one ticks all of those boxes and it's very reasonably priced. The fact that its double breasted gives it an added touch of elegance. What more could you ask for?   CARVELA, GLANCE Cut out detail high heel court, €150 As someone who finds it very difficult to find shoes that fit (I'm between a size 2 and 3), I think these are perfect. They have the height but there's no risk of walking out of them. Also, the burst of colour in the heel is subtle yet eye-catching. Put these with a yellow clutch and you are good to go. ALICE & OLIVIA, Bailey Dress, €305 Every woman needs a little black dress and I just love how simple yet sophisticated this one is. It's also incredibly versatile in that you could easily dress it up for a night out with heels and a statement necklace or wear it into the office with a pair of pumps and a scarf. MARC BY MARC JACOBS, Star Charm Hula Hoop Bangle, €65 I reckon it's about time I owned something by Marc Jacobs and, as magpie who buys jewellery pretty much every time she hits the shop, this has to be it. This bangle is really funky and a little different, although it's a piece that could be worn with a few other bracelets. Also, it matches the heels I've chosen! WILLO & CLO, Carpe Diem Double Disc Necklace, €149 Forget seizing the day, I want to seize this necklace! Yellow gold is making a serious comeback which is why this chain is a must have. It's delicate but chic, casual but noticeable. With this around your neck, you'll be having people complimenting you left, right and centre. JO MALONE LONDON, Red Roses Cologne 100ml, €102 Jo Malone is a fantastic brand that produces fantastic products so I would definitely be putting this on my wishlist. It's hard to find a scent that you love enough to wear every day but this is certainly one of those scents.
