The days are getting darker, the weather windy and rainy meaning the autumn has well as truely hit.
While there’s a number of autumn trends to be looking forward to, one must have this season is of course hats.
Beenie, beret, bobble or Fedora, any trend goes this season. But the key point with this trend is accessories. Team up fedora hats with feathers and beret’s and beenies with booches for this seasons ultimate look.

If you want to stay on-trend this season but are less than convinced by some of this year’s more unexpected trends (shearling and Princess Diana chic, I’m talking to you), don’t worry. You don’t have to go out in Christmas jumpers and yeti boots if you don’t want to – there is an alternative, and it gives me girly, fluttery feelings in my tummy.
Femininity is back in a big way in the fashion world, and you can see this girl-love on the catwalks. The world and its’ wife has a crush on Mad Men pin-up Christina Hendricks, Lara Stone’s breasts are in every ad campaign and waists are at the height of waspishness. But if you don’t have a figure like Marilyn Monroe, that’s okay too – you don’t need a super-feminine body to be super-feminine. It was all old-fashioned romance and nostalgia in the collections of designers such as Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren and Erdem this season, who championed faded florals, dusty blues, greens and pinks and sheer fabrics to show off a cheeky hint of skin. Think high tea, bird cages, china dolls and antiques – all very pretty, very feminine and very, very British.
If you want a little more romance in your wardrobe, it’s a very wearable look that translates easily from the runway to the street. You don’t have to sweep down the road in a floor-length Victorian gown to make the trend work – keep an eye out for dusty shades, smock tops, antique jewellery and wispy fabrics. Check out the gallery below for some of my favourite pieces to buy in the high street.
We’ve been eagerly awaiting Burberry’s offering at London Fashion Week, and have been counting down to the beginning of the show.
After all the British Brand’s recent collections thanks to the amazing directorship of creative director Christopher Bailey, and high profile ad campaigns have done more than enough to boost this company onto our fashion radars. And of course who can forget the celebrities that always come out in force for this show.
And we’re pleased to say we weren’t disappointed.
Celebrities including Kate Hudson and Twiggy turned out for the show, labelled by Mr Bailey as the “the Burberry Cadet girls” collection.
It included a range of big aviation and military pea coats, parkers, trench coats, heavily embellished with leather, buckles and zips,which contrasted with the flimsy dresses worn underneath with thigh high boots.
Hues included olive green, brown and black. There were even a few fuscia pink numbers, as well as one or two lace blouses whose ruffles and colours gave a nod to the late 80s.
And of course, fabric du jour fur also made a huge appearance on collarless and aviation style jackets as well as calf length buckled boots.
Mr Bailey said before the show, the collection “takes aviation as a pivotal focus but then gets much more decorative. It’s a very detailed collection.”
We couldn’t agree more Mr Bailey, except to say the collection was beautiful.
