Every Item on My & Other Stories Summer Wish List Happens to Be Under £75
Being a fashion editor automatically means a lot of my family and friends come to me and ask for advice on where to shop for anything from wedding guest outfits to the best jeans, and honestly, 90% of the time, & Other Stories is my answer. You just can’t beat the high-street brand's expensive-looking buys at the moment.
