Another British Summertime....

With the British weather changing on a seemingly hour by hour basis it is really difficult to know what to wear each day. Layering is definitely the way forward to keep you warm/cool/dry depending on the hour!

A key trend for this coming winter is draping. Get yourself a draped cardigan and layer over a plain vest if the weather might get warm or a tee if it’s going to be colder. As autumn approaches wear thicker base layers with long sleeves. Dark colours will be another key A/W09 trend so this dark purple Tweed Drape Cardigan from Urban Outfitters is perfect and is a bit of a bargain-

I am in love with this beige cardigan from All Saints which looks effortlessly stylish. http://tinylink.com/?dnyQQjrXEd.
If you are looking for a simpler style try this lightweight number from Warehouse http://tinylink.com/?TFthaYYxPx.


Leggings haven’t gone anywhere and I can’t fault them for their practicality. I am not wearing tights in August but neither am I giving up on my summer dresses- so leggings are the answer. Sequins are going to be everywhere this A/W so get these super glamorous black leggings from Topshop and shimmer your way through the evening. http://tinylink.com/?yIGFqnCyp5.


These cut out leggings are a nod to another A/W trend and are a great way of showing off a bit of flesh on a grey summer’s day!! http://tinylink.com/?fkt3VrEOZT


My pet hate at the moment is cold feet. I leave the house in the sun wearing sandals and an hour later it’s raining- my feet are cold and wet and my spirits dampened. Pumps are my favourite alternative and there are some great ones out there. Embellishment going to be a big trend this winter so get in early and keep your feet dry in embellished flats. These peep toe flats from Kurt Gieger are perfect. Dressed up and dressed down they will looked stylish and are so much more substantial then flip flops! http://www.kurtgeiger.com/online-shop/79433-kg-lana

And finally scarf is a great way to layer up. Get a floral one like this beautiful silk Missoni scarf- floral is big now and will be big this autumn. http://tinylink.com/?KzKBEy2ChN.
