Charlie Chooses: The 7 high street buys you should add to your shopping list, according to our Fashion Editor

It’s not true when they say Fashion Editors only wear designer labels. If only it were…

The devil may well wear Prada, but the rest of us are relentless bargain hunters at heart (can you blame us, when our job quite literally requires us to scout out all of the very chicest hidden gems?).

And while that may break down the fourth wall illusion that I’m sitting at my desk right now with my hooves parked in some new season Stella sneakers, it does mean that I know our good old British high street like the back of my hand.

Here’s what I’m buying, wearing and wanting this week…

1. The printed maxi dress

There’s been a lot of talk this week declaring ‘the death of the floral dress’, and – as anyone who’s ever tried to tell me to do something before could’ve predicted – nothing could have made me want to buy a floral dress more. With the recent blue skies signalling a potentially early Spring (manifest manifest manifest) I’m taking both factors as my cue to refresh my floral midi offering, and none have piqued my interest quite like this tiered wild chamomile print number with its super delicate lace trims and cinched wrists.

2. The pointed ivory slingbacks
