Each week, The Mirror's Fashion and Beauty team pull together a round up of our top picks from the high street, and for this edition of Weekend Wishlist, we've found some seriously designer-coded accessories, celeb-approved styles and soon-to-be-well-outs that deserve a spot in your shopping bag (and ours).
We've trawled the new-in sections of your favourite high street retailers, snooped in the wardrobes of a-listers and happened upon some absolute bargains, too.
From River Island and Marks and Spencer, to Molly Mae's latest edit and Michelle Keegan's figure-hugging dress - here’s everything you need to scratch that retail therapy itch this weekend.
The blazer from PrettyLittleThing costs £39A is a real key piece in any wardrobe, and everything about this one from Molly Mae Hague’s edit has got me swooning (and yes, it came home with me). The gives it a softness that’s perfect for pairing with other neutrals, but doesn’t look out of place with black, either.

It offers a curved hem, while the strong shoulder pads give it structure and add all the chic vibes. I’m also a which are slightly flared with button detailing and give a gorgeous oversized feel to the piece.
The look starts at £12 and is entirely from Molly-Mae's collection (PrettyLittleThing)Molly styled this with a white t-shirt and the mom jeans from earlier, but for something a little more cocktail-ready, these and a pair of black heels are perfect with the underneath.

The £32 River Island piece is the ultimate 'jeans and a nice top' number (River Island)One half of your ‘jeans and a nice top’ formula, the hit the River Island website in recent days, and it’s a great alternative to blouses, bodysuits and shirts.

It features a and decorative pockets, and looks stunning paired with jeans, skirts and tailored trousers.
But what’s more is that it’s also a dead-ringer for a similar top seen on Loose Women’s Frankie Bridge last month.

Marks and Spencer Cotton Rich Denim Belted Trench Coat - £79
Marks and Spencer's £79 denim trench (M&S)The traditional cream/beige trench is having a real moment in 2024, and to find the best. But there’s a contemporary twist on the sophisticated coat that is coming for its crown - and it's made from the most unlikely fabric.
When I saw this new-in style from Marks and Spencer, I audibly gasped. Upon my eyes catching sight of the new-in Cotton Rich Denim Belted Trench Coat I knew this unconventional coat was going to be a bit of a marmite piece. It’s bold, daring and really makes a statement.
Combining the longline shape and smart double-breasted front of a trench with the relaxed and casual feel of your favourite pair of jeans, it's such a great way to update the style for the upcoming spring season. And if all the social media posts of Copenhagen Fashion Week are anything to go by, 90s denim is set to be a major theme in 2024, meaning this jacket could be the hero piece you didn’t know you needed to nail the hottest trends.

“The twill material is super soft and its V-neckline is high enough to be able to wear on its own without a shirt underneath - which is such a powerful, stylish look that has been modelled time and again by A-listers like Zendaya, Frankie Bridge and Victoria Beckham.
“I paired the waistcoat with baggy low jeans and some white and beige sneakers, £27.99, but it could easily be dressed up with a pair of snakeskin heeled boots like these £37.99 ones. For my ladies who love a neutral colour theme, this outfit is for you.”
Michelle Keegan’s Premium Knitted Midi Dress - £45
The dress can be styled a number of ways, depending on the occasion (Very)Michelle Keegan never fails to look incredible and always hits the mark with her fashion choices.

Michelle's ribbed dress falls to a midi length with a V-neckline, a classic polo collar, and a self-tie belt at the waist to cinch you in. It is fitted through the body with a flowing shape to the skirt.

The retailer’s was originally £60, but has been slashed to and is made for just about any event you find yourself invited to this year.

It’s been cut beautifully to accentuate curves, and the long sleeves make it look really classy, too. What’s more, is that it’s still available in all sizes from 6-18, though I imagine it won’t stay that way for long.
