Weekend Wishlist: From Sophie Habboo's mascara to Frankie Bridge's £16 earrings
As the workweek winds down there’s a certain buzz in the air in knowing that Friday marks not only the start of the weekend, but also the opportunity to indulge in a little retail therapy. Naturally, the thought of battling the bustling aisles and navigating the snaking Saturday queues of shoppers is not our idea of a relaxing weekend. But that doesn’t mean you can’t snap up the latest must-have bag or homeware staple.
Enter Weekend Wishlist - a carefully curated edit of The Mirror fashion and beauty team’s top picks from the high street this week. At the end of every week, we’ll be seeking out the viral sensations, soon-to-be sell outs, and uncovering the gems that deserve a spot in your shopping bag (and ours), from the likes of PrettyLittleThing, Dunelm, Mango and more - including those spotted on our favourite celebrities.
Whether you're seeking a wardrobe refresh, eye-catching accessories, or simply a touch of inspiration, we've got you covered. And this week, we’ve picked out some of our favourite high street picks seen on the likes of Molly Mae Hague, Frankie Bridge and Sophie Habboo, as well as some of our own January sale purchases and new in styles for 2024.
Here’s what we’ve been loving this week:
New Look's Mink Ribbed Knit Midi Dress - £24.74
Warm and stylish, this jumper dress is perfect for taking you from day to night while keeping you cosy (New Look)If you saw Frankie Bridge's Pretty Lavish jumper dress last week, you'll know that it's not as affordable as some of her other high street suggestions, retailing at £65. However, we found an alternative that looks just as classy and will not break the bank at £24.74 from New Look.

We're delighted waistcoats are back for 2024 (Very)The Fool Me Once star is always impeccably dressed, whether she's running errands, making day time telly appearances or on the red carpet. And so, of course, we're all pretty obsessed with her latest Very collection, which includes this gorgeous tailored waistcoat - that comes with matching trousers. Waistcoats were massive in 2023 and we're thrilled to see they're here to stay this year because, let's be honest, they make you look fierce.
This black waistcoat from Very has had it's price knocked from £28 to £16.80 and is selling pretty fast. With a v neckline, a centre front button up fastening and a sleeveless design, it's not just reserved for high end events. Slip a rollneck tee underneath and pop a pair of trainers on and you've got yourself a pretty casual ensemble for work or play.

Claudia WInkleman's gloves from The Traitors
Claudia Winkleman in her iconic red fingerless gloves (BBC)Okay, hear us out. They may not be the obvious fashion piece - they're not earrings, nor are they winter-wear friendly - but these gloves, worn by Claudia Winkleman on the hit show The Traitors may just be the accessory you're searching for to complete your Saturday night outfit or add a touch of chic-ness to your cycling gear. Claud isn't the first celeb to sport demi-gloves like this - Bella Hadid, Paris Hilton and even Emily In Paris (played by Lily Collins) has been spotted in them.
Either way, if they're good enough for Claud and the latter, they're good enough for us - and at only £25 they're a bit of a bargain considering they're made of real sheepskin leather, meaning they're pretty toasty (on your palms... your fingers will be chilly). Plus, they come in a handful of colours to match your style.
