We Try On All The Best New Stuff In & Other Stories So You Don't Have To

& Other Stories is great isn't it? Sure it's not the cheapest, but it is definitely one of our most excellent fashion-tastic high street stores.

The only downfall at the moment is that there's not very many of them in the UK. There's two in London, one in Surrey and, for you lucky Manchester girls, a brand spanking new shiny store on Exchange Street.

There's a giant sale on at the moment but, seeing as we've just been paid, we thought we'd look at all the new-ish stuff in store for you.

The Casual Kimono

I'm not very good at kimonos. I either look like I'm going to turn into a giant bird and fly far far away or I look like a I'm trying to be a seductive Bond Girl failing most spectacularly. Either way, I'm well into this one.

Kimono, £65, jeans, £55

The Unconventional Wedding Guest Dress

Because if I see another fitted Kate Middleton-esque grown up lady dress with a nice lace overlay I will show up to my next wedding wearing a bin bag in protest. Wear this one instead and pretend you're Meg in Hercules.

Dress, £79

The Emoji Dancer Dress

Because really, what's the point of summer if you can't dress up like a Flamenco dancer and sashay your way around the sunlit streets?

Dress, £95

The Emma Watson at the Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince Dress

A 19-year-old Emma Watson wore a very similar dress to this in 2009 at the premiere of Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince. That was actually a vintage 70's Ozzie Clark but this version is a whole bunch cheaper. And I kind of prefer the print TBH.

Dress, £79

The I Am A Very Creative Person Dress

Pretty much what I plan to wear when I finally move to Paris, shack up with a sculptor called Pierre and spend my days walking round the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont until I find a particular bird or plant that inspires me enough to paint a stunning yet humble picture of it.

Dress, £39

The I'm A Grown Up Lady That's Really Good At My Job Dress

If you have a job interview, buy this dress. I don't care if it's at Subway and you're applying to be a Sandwich Artist, if it's a job that you want, buy this dress and you're almost guaranteed to get it.

Dress, £69
