I'm dreaming of the perfect cropped jumper for this Autumn - and I think I just found it at My-Wardrobe.com. It looks soooo soft, and burgundy is a perfect colour for this Autumn.

Yay, that time of the week has rolled around again when I get to do my absolute favourite post – my weekly wishlist of dream fashion buys. This week I’m focusing mainly on Autumn/Winter essentials for those pieces that will make your wardrobe perfect for the new season.

What I want most in the world right now is the perfect jumper for this season – something in a jewel colour in a soft, snuggly fabric that I can wear with absolutely everything. I was lucky enough to come across Marlene Birger’s cropped burgundy sweater, which just looks so soft and fluffy that I want to rub my cheek against it. It’s expensive, at over a hundred pounds, but maybe the perfect jumper is enough of a classic to make the investment a smart one.

Another item very very high on my wishlist is Oasis’ leather skater skirt, which is just so perfect I could die. It will go with pretty much everything, whether you want to wear a T-shirt and flats or a pretty blouse with heels. If I get it I’m just going to have to remember to not overdo the sex-pot look with the rest of my outfit – the last time I wore double leather I found myself attracting a lot of trouble.

The piece that has to get the hot top-spot this week, however, has to be Asos’ fur collar coat in a leopard print. I’m totally loving the girlish look of collared coats at the moment, especially with a smidge of faux fur to add extra glamour. After all, no-one wants to look drab in the winter time, do they? That would be just terrible.

Fashion Wishlist: ShinyStyle’s dream buys for the week

This dress is so Marc Jacobs it's untrue - the ultimate first-date dress. With a chunky cardigan and a pair of vintage ankle boots, you're good to go. Find it here.

I absolutely love putting together Shiny’s fashion hot-list for the week, because for me it is basically an excuse to go window-shopping and compile a mental list of all the things that I want, nay, need the most. This week the hot-list is a merry mash of different prints, textures and styles – but did you expect any different from me?

I’m in a bit of a “back to school” mode this week which is looking towards Autumn and the weather getting colder, so I’m daydreaming about new tights, new knitwear and new bags to put all off my books in. I was especially taken with Oasis’ dreamily soft-looking pale pink tea dress with a sparkled collar detail, which is so like the Marc Jacobs design that it’s untrue. That dress is going on my list, along with a chunky cardigan and some cute ankle boots to go along with it.

My ultimate buy for the week? It has to be the Sam Edelman slipper shoes from Urban Outfitters. Slipper-style loafer shoes are massive this Autumn because they spell luxury and comfort, and you can’t get any more luxurious than this designer pair, which is covered in black gemstones and studs. So delightfully rock and roll.
