If you’re anything like us, you’ll have daydreamed of going into Brown Thomas and spending to your heart’s content.
Catch any member of Her.ie staring into space with a vacant expression and the chances are she’s dreaming of what she will buy once she wins the lotto.
No matter what time of year you go into the iconic department store, you’re guaranteed to find something you MUST have.
In the second of a series featuring Team Her’s Brown Thomas wishlists, here are the pieces our Editor Michelle is currently lusting after.

You can have all the nice makeup in the world, but if you’re lacking the tools to apply it properly you’re still going to fall short of that “flawless” look. A good kit of brushes is essential in any makeup bag, so my imaginary shopping lust list includes this fabulous set from DIOR. The set includes a Powder Brush, Fluid Foundation Brush, Eyeshadow Brush, Eyeliner Brush and Lip Brush – and it’s worth every penny.
CARVELA, GYRATE High heel sandals, €180
No wallflowers need apply when it comes to wearing these beauties. There are statement shoes, and then there’s the Carvela Gyrate sandal. Pair your party dress or some leather skinnies with these drop dead gorgeous 12cm stiletto heels for a party peep toe look that’s sure to stand out from the crowd.
HELMUT LANG, Deep Twist Dress, €395
Forget the LBD! The LND, or Little Navy Dress is the ultimate in chic party wear, and I ADORE this Helmut Lang version. Clever draping makes for a super flattering silhouette, perfect for anyone (like me) who doesn’t boast a washboard stomach but still likes to bring some sex appeal to the party. The asymmetric one-sleeve style and metal hardware turn up the funk factor. This dress is a class act.
MARC BY MARC JACOBS, Classic Q Mini Natasha Bag, €290
Every lady loves a Marc by Marc bag, and with good reason. This classic Q Mini Natasha is an investment purchase that you’ll never tire of. The lovely grained leather screams quality and the smaller size means you can use this bag for day or night. I love the gold hardware and the fact that it has a long, adjustable strap – meaning you can wear cross body and keep your hands free for further shopping!
ADELE MARIE, Tricolour Heart Necklace, €40
Mixed metals have been the hottest trend in jewellery for the past few seasons and it’s not going anywhere soon. I absolutely love this pretty layered necklace in tones of gold, silver and rose gold. It will go with pretty much everything already in your jewellery wardrobe, but it’s enough of a statement piece in its own right for you to skip the other accessories altogether. I also can’t get over the price – bargain alert!
