Last Thursday I had the pleasure of visiting the ME+EM store on Elizabeth Street. I was greeted with smiles and shown the SS17 collection. If you aren’t familiar with ME+EM, you should be! No seriously, they are a fantastic brand – the price point, the quality and the styles all make it a very desirable destination for a busy mum. They have very kindly agreed that with EVERY purchase made over £50 on 22nd March, they will give £5 to Sentebale for the Mothers Day Campaign that I am collaborating on.
ME+EM was founded by Clare Hornby in 2009 to be a fashion label offering designer quality at lower prices. Clare was frustrated by how hard it was for women to find good-looking, flattering and beautifully made clothes that are on trend and wearable every day of the week. Bringing together her extensive consumer insight from 15 years of advertising, a lifetime’s love for fashion and an obsession with fit, she launched ME+EM.
Obsessed with design and fit, we spend an average of 15 times longer than the High Street fitting our clothes so that they really flatter the customer.
Here are my top picks…
Longline Pocket Tee – Khaki £49
This colour is right on point this season, but if you prefer a more classic colour, it also comes in Black and White. I love that the back is slightly longer than the front so no builders bum when you are at playgroup and the longer length would be perfect over white skinnies or tight leather trousers.
Button Detail Breton with Button Detail – Soft White & Cobalt £49
For a savvy take on the classic Breton this season, notice the button detail on the shoulder. Also comes in Navy & Soft White.
Sleeveless Frill Layering Blouse £69
This is genius investment piece. It is designed for versatility – either to be worn on it’s own or under a jumper. I love the pretty collar peeping through – it instantly smartens up an outfit and you can also do up the bow or leave it loose. The other bonus is that it gives you a seamless look under a fitted jumper so no lumps and bumps. If only they could invest a bra to do the same on your back!
This is flattering dress that would work with flats for a more casual look but you could throw on a blazer and work it for the races too.
From their much coveted side stripe trouser, their ladies trouser collection covers all the shapes from the Cigarette trouser, high waisted trousers, cargo trousers and cropped trousers to a jogger pant to their iconic palazzo trouser, to the wide leg crop pant.
Easy Fit Double Stripe Joggers £59
These are fab! (I have a pair) As they go in at the ankle they are really flattering and can be worn with trainers or heels in the evening. The navy are my pick for Spring/Summer but they also come in black.
Luxe Crepe Slouch Pant £149
Personally, this style typifies ME+EM and that just makes me want them more. I love the slash at the ankle to go over trainers and the stripe is just oh so elongating!
Grosgrain Stripe Slimfit Crop Pant £119
If you need a pair of trousers for work, look no further than these cropped pants.
Girl Meets Boy Jean £119
Nothing says the weather has turned more than a pair of Ecru coloured jeans and cropped even better, finished to perfection with this seasons must have detail – the contrast panel at the ankle.
High Rise Half Leather Legging £399
Oh I can but dream… but if I could I would buy these!
I love this length and a mac is timeless so a great investment piece.
Statement Stripe Sweat £75
This winked at me as soon as I walked in. It looks as good on as it does on the rail.
There isn’t a code so please buy buy buy knowing every purchase over £50 is helping children in Lesotho!
