Hi all,

I've had a stressful few weeks and recently got a new bonus at work which I'm going to spend on a few nice bits for myself. I'm 30 and my style is midi dresses, or jeans & a nice tshirt/jumper, and I love colour/pattern but also look good in autumnal colours (olive green, maroon, dark orangres/brown/beige). I'm looking for some recommendations of nice quality brands to get a few bits.

I'm thinking; a new backpack, a fleece (for wearing around the house), a casual jacket (for walks in the park), a nice wool coat, a new necklace, couple of nice jumpers/tops, luxurious body cream, new yoga leggings & bra. If you have any recommendations for brands for the above please let me know!

Oysho for leggings and perhaps the bra.

Clarins moisture rich body lotion.

If it were me I'd look at Celtic and Co for jumpers, or actually White Stuff if you like colour! Wool coat - depends on budget. Mine is Burberry but Zara does good ones, or Sézane.

My casual jacket is Passenger.

A Lauren wool coat. It is very expensive, but you can find one at TKMaxx.
If you want seriously to splurge ( and keep for the next 30 years), a Tumi backpack (black is the only one I would choose, as it stays immaculate for years).
A quality jumper is a serious investment, I would go for a Scottish cashmere one ( again, pricey, but it is for the rest of your life, so the sale it will be!). Boden has some very good ones. Do not bother with Me&Em.

Patagonia fleece. It is incredibly warm, and I have one since 1998 that looks new! A swear by
