In November you all responded to my question of what top 5 quality items you would buy or desire. Of course most of you moaned that 5 is a tough call, however it did keep you focused and the result is a resounding top 10 list.
In no particular order this is the Make Do Style top 10 quality items as determined by you the readers (can you tell I'm missing X Factor!) from the items that got the most mentions.
1. A watch - the suggestions were Cartier, Tiffany tank, a gold Rolex and an Omega constellation
2. A bag - the brands cited were Bottega Veneta, Chanel, Mulberry to name a few
3. A scarf - Hermes and Louis Vuitton were mentioned
4. Pearl necklace
5. Beautiful jewellery - this included heirloom, diamond studs and a Wendy Brandes Empress Wu ring (forthcoming)
6. A beautiful or timeless coat - the list range from Max Mara, a shearling coat and a Margaret Howell Trench plus I'm adding a Moncler!
7. Great pair of shoes - Christian Louboutin, Prada and Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik all got a vote of confidence but Chanel ballet pumps and also a couple of boots were mentioned
8. A gorgeous dress - Roland Mouret, vintage Ossie Clark, a beautiful black cocktail dress got a mention
9. White shirt
10. Great pair of jeans
And the nearly there... a pair of black trousers, a pencil skirt, a Chanel suit and a cashmere sweater...

ReplyDeleteI agree with the list. When I was about 15 and used to read Danielle Steel novels the heroine always had a good watch, a good pair of jeans and a black cashmere sweater!
ReplyDeleteYup, couldn't agree more and hopefully getting there slowly.
ReplyDeleteHi there-yes, a super list to aspire to, the one item I don't have is a watch-that works anyway!!

always go for quality over quantity. Its so hard but since I have been on maternity leave and away from my stamping ground of W1 temptations. I have saved a bundle for the real good stuff that does last style wise. Good luck
I agree with all of these! Quantity over quality - that's the way to go
ReplyDeleteGreat list, thanks for sharing. I am aspiring towards quite a few of the items on this list. Sure I'll be there one day. Perhaps anyhow!
ReplyDeleteI'm outraged that the cashmere sweater didn't make the cut :-) Seriously, though! Otherwise, very good list.
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list!

I better get moving on that ring. Yay for Mouret and Ossie.

Hunter Wellington Boots!
ReplyDeletecometh the day, cometh the boots. I would have been unable to cross the door these last ten days without them. Cheaper boots just don't cut the wellie mustard.
