For a hot holiday lunch out these elegant high-waisted Topshop shorts are an elegant base to build an outfit.

The end of summer isn’t too far away now, and August is the last month of year where we jet off somewhere far hotter in the hopes of coming back skinnier with a tan. Yesterday I was looking at the fashion dilemmas we face during the summer’s wedding season, but today it’s all about the last-minute holiday.

Normally when I go on holiday I pack my entire wardrobe, only to wear the same thing for the entire week because I’ve realised I hate all my summer clothes. Next time I’ve decided I’m going to invest in a few pieces that will see me right for the week, and be adaptable for different occasions.

The Topshop silk blue shorts in the first outfit above are absolutely perfect. Wear them with a lightweight blouse for European elegance on holiday, or with a tuxedo jacket and heels for parties this Autumn. Another favourite find are the mocha-coloured palazzo pants in outfit number two, which will still be wearable next season. The seventies trend is still going strong!

Check out the gallery above for three ideal holiday outfits.

This rose-coloured beauty is amazing - I'm planning to buy it and move all of my things into it immediately. Find it at Fashion Union.

We’re already halfway through the summer holidays now, and while that might not mean much to those of you working a job all the year round, it means that Autumn is just a few weeks away – and that means that back-to-school feeling of new tights, new coats and smart new bags.

I’m starting my degree in London in a month’s time and I’ve decided to blue a bit of my student loan on a beautiful new satchel to keep all of my drawing bits and sketchbooks in. You should think about a new bag for yourself too – who doesn’t crave that new-term, new-things feeling that comes with the change of seasons?

Luckily you don’t need to go straight to Mulberry with your life savings for a good satchel (though of course it is tempting), as nearly all the high-street stores are still producing high-quality affordable bags in the Alexa style.

Shiny’s personal favourite? The dusky rose-coloured satchel from Fashion Union, which will go with pretty much everything I own and hopefully integrate perfectly into the new Autumn/Winter outfit I can’t afford to buy myself. Check out the gallery above for our top 5 satchels on the high street.
