Why is women's sportswear so impractical and which brands are breaking the mould?*


Wimbledon, the world's most famous tennis tournament, has been and gone for another year. If you missed it, you missed a fortnight of top-class sport, a second title success for Great Britain's Andy Murray and a 22nd grand slam championship for the amazing Serena Williams. Those were the headlines from the two-week event, but there were also others - including criticism of a new dress from Nike.

The sportswear giants drew flak for its £75 Premier Slam dress, which was deemed impractical in this article by the Guardian. 'When I was serving, it was coming up and I felt like the dress was just everywhere,' commented Sweden's Rebecca Peterson in the New York Times. Some players liked the outfit, others opted to switch for an alternative.

6 Most Wanted: House of Fraser

As well as watercolour painting, binge watching Dexter (again) and blogging; I also have this hobby of making wishlists for myself. Whether it be stationery, handbags or trips abroad, you can guarantee I have a list of my fave most wanted ones.

I thought today I'd share my most recent wishlist; Lingerie and Jewellery favourite from House of Fraser. I'll be making this a regular feature on this blog, in the hopes someone will take pity on me, and lavish me with all my favourite things (HA).

This past week I've been pretty excited about some upcoming events and night outs I have planned, and the perfect dresses I have to wear for them. Now that the main part of the outfits are taken care of, I've been browsing for some beautiful things to wear with them.
