& Other Stories Is The Coolest New Kid On The High Street Block. Here’s What We’re Loving In Store Right Now
I think, I can vouch for others along with myself in saying, we were all pretty excited when & Other Stories finally opened a store here in the UAE. Based in Dubai Mall, the store is not only Instagram friendly and inviting – it’s also quite difficult to leave the place without purchasing something from it’s fab clothing, accessories, beauty, stationery and home ware range.
Founded in 2010 by a small group of creative and under the H&M group, & Other Stories grew from the wish to give women the freedom of expression through one brand. They market themselves as a one-stop styling destination filled with collections from three design ateliers in Paris, Stockholm and LA. Amongst filling their shelves with the most coolest, contemporary designs and styles around, they co-create every year (Co-labs) with a few selected designers from around the world (for example – Rodarte, Clare Vivier, Toms and Sadie Williams) who compliment the & Other Stories collections.
Price-wise, I would say they are more on the ‘upper High Street’ bracket equivalent to Ted Baker, Reiss and Massimo Dutti. Their sales in particular are quite good and worth waiting for if you do want to invest in some of their fab pieces.
For this post, I’ve picked out a few of my favourites in-store and online right now…Scroll through the gallery to view my picks and oh, you’re welcome…

1. It’s the Palm Leaf embroidery and pockets that has sold this fab white dress to me!! This is so versatile and will more than likely never date.
2. What’s not to love…it had me at the polka dots. Note: their swimwear runs small, so go up a size when looking at purchasing.

3. I’m particular with my floral prints but there is something just so vibrant about this floral wrap dress and I have a thing for Peonies.
4. Braided, crochet-style mules and flats are where it’s at this summer and these just have that holiday vibe which will flatter any summery outfit.
5. I just love the versatility of this dress, the fact that it looks so comfortable and I just adore RED…
6. How stylish is this! I love the gold hardware handles and the fact that it is screaming French Riviera chic!
7. These just speak to me – they’re red, they go with everything and that block heel makes them so wearable.
8. A pair of earrings that will take you from the beach to the bar, love the simplicity of these.

9. This needs to be in my wardrobe…pronto!
10. I’ve been after a white denim skirt for a while now and this looks quite ideal…
11. Slogan tee’s just draw me in – I won’t lie though, I did have to Google what this meant because I never studied French. So ‘Pas Du Tout’ means ‘Not At All’!
12. This is the type of jumpsuit which will stand the test of time and look good every summer…a wardrobe classic!
13. One of the coolest stationery collections I’ve seen in a while, lots of gold and rose gold. I just love the cuteness of this key ring though…
14. Just ‘wow’ – that shade of green gets me every time!
I literally could go on forever on the & Other Stories website and saw so much that I love, want and need. But, I’ll leave it here for the sake of my credit card and bank account. They really weren’t lying when they said it was a ‘one-top-styling-destination’, I would be very happy to take the journey there anytime.
Until next time… Happy Shopping,
Irene xoxo
