Get ready for Autumn

Every fashionista knows that the ending of summer & the arrival of Autumn means one thing... a wardrobe overhaul!!
So throw those gladiator sandals to the back of the wardrobe, the following is a list of must have items for Autumn...

Little Black Dress; yes it is VERY little.. and oh so sexy... but you know you want to!! Get those legs preened & primed or team with black opaque tights to be very fashion forward right now!! For an extra rock chick look keep wearing the ankle shoe boots or team with a studded belt.

Flirtatious Romantic Ruffles; pale pastel colours are right on trend! Find a ruffled blouse in pale pinks or creams. Wear tucked into flared jeans to add a sixties twist to the combo.

Big,bright,bold & beautiful; there was a touch of the seventies in many of this years Autumn/Winter collections. So if your feeling adventurous opt for bright, bold pattens on dresses, tops & jackets.

The collarless coat; show of your collarbone is this sensual and alluring take on this seasons coat. Confused?? Check out Banana Republics version of this trend below.

The only way to wear trousers this season is slouchy -naturally.

Tartan is huge this season & if you don't like it, I'm sure that by the end of the season you'll have learned to love it.. To incorporate two key trends of this season tartan & hosiery, find a pair of tartan tights (as seen at the D&G show). Check out below for previews!!

PS: Don't forget to team everything with my favourite accessory of the moment; the pussy bow alice band -topshop have a fabulous satin version that comes in 4 amazing colours!!

Happy shopping xx
