This weeks #shwishlist features a variety of brands I have found through attending trade shows, press days and pop-up shops, some brands which I know well and others which I have found through Pinterest.
In February when I visited Pure London I had already researched the long list of brands showing before my visit. London based womenswear brand Charli and fashionable tech accessories brand Covert were two of the brands I had gained interest in from their websites and social media feeds.

The mood throughout Charli's collection is of understated luxury, with a line of jersey separates which are versatile in their purpose. Dress up or relaxed, the soft draping and contemporary silhouettes make you want to wear everything. As I riffled through the AW13 collection I was mentally building up my wishlist. Unfortunately I need to wait a few more months before then, although the SS14 collection exudes the same core aesthetic.
It was really difficult to choose a favourite from the Covert London Collection but after careful consideration I opted for the 'Varsity' iPad cover from the C by Covert line in one of the best colourways - Fuchsia and Tangerine. The 'Varsity' is a twist on the classic school bag satchel and features a magnetic closure with inbuilt stand.
As regular readers know I love my jewellery and as a stylist when I find the perfect earrings or necklace it can polish and complete a look. When I saw Leyla Abdollahi's jewellery for the first time (I think it was at International Jewellery London) I was floored by the exquisite designs. When you look at a piece there is so much detail and design your eyes become transfixed. It is impossible to find a favourite earring, ring or necklace within the collection because there isn't anything I couldn't treasure and adore; however one earring in particular the 'Eidyia', made from 18ct Yellow Gold set with Tahitian Pearls, Black Diamonds and Green Sapphires; is a piece which I felt would best compliment a dress I have bought most recently from Jaeger.
I have had the pleasure to style Scarlett Black London's womenswear collection on a few occasions and the label is now a firm favourite of mine. When I heard the brand had launched a Kids collection I knew it would be adorable, stylish and well thought out - which obviously it is. The Puna Dress, available from 2-6 years, is a short-sleeved dress made from jersey with a graphic monochrome striped print. I love the back of the dress featuring a plain white panel, finished with a few pleats for line and a hand tied bow. There are more irresistible designs within the Kids collection all available from the online shop.

My final mention is Lovicci a luxury stationery brand based in Mayfair. I am a stationary devotee and will always buy anything which is paper and elegant. I haven't changed since I was a little girl, buying notepads every time I went to a shop. I discovered Lovicci's super chic, luxury, note cards when I was helping a friend research wedding stationery. I love the champagne tone of the Italian paper and embossed pattern. The website mentions this item is 'coming soon' so keep checking the Lovicci website for updates.
