Great, so summer's over and the cold mornings are back. Sometimes I think it'd be easier to emigrate somewhere warmer than have to change my wardrobe so often. But then again, I do enjoy shopping.

The shops are getting in their first wave of Autumn stock, and it's looking good. You don't have to completely depart from your summer clothes as yet though. You just have to adapt.

I'm going to keep on wearing a maxi dress, but styling it with biker boots and a cropped leather jacket. Warm tootsies and instant rock chick points.

Here's a few bits perfect for the changing season in those gorgeous Autumn colours.

Zara Tunic with Zip £49.99

Zara V Back Dress £49.99

Zara Flat Ankle Boot - £69.99

Cos Bonded Wool Blazer £125

H&M Dress £24.99

H&M Waistcoat £34.99

I've no idea where the last couple of weeks have gone. They seem to have vanished along with the last of summer, leaving me standing in my open toed sandals dreaming of socks.

Collars

They've been around for a while now and have have every intention of sneaking into our wardrobes this Autumn/Winter - collars!

Topshop Cream Mixed Stone Collar - £32 

Also available in blue and red, I'm loving this for a dressing up over a plain white shirt after a hard days work ... now en route to drinks!

Accessorize Miriam Collar Necklace - £30

I know it's more of a necklace than an actual collar but I love it! Wear with a cream shirt buttoned all the way up.

           

Asos Smooth Triangular Collar Tips - £10

A greatway to spice up shirt collars.

Forgotten Heroes

They're the ultimate accessory, interchangeable with a wide selection of outfits. Chic, hobo, ladylike, tough... whatever your style. Let's talk bags. Without having one on a daily basis, I reckon I'd scramble myself pretty quickly. Something has to carry my life around for me! Keys, purse, lipbalm, comb, perfume, notebook, camera -I need it all. And while I need the functionality factor.... I want to get from day to day with wow.

Amused By Ameko Wing Tassel Drawstring Tote - £125 (Avaiable from Asos)

Perfect for a more relaxed look, this leather hobo bag with skull and tassle detail is great if you have a little rocker in you!

'Razzle Dazzle' Gold Metal Clutch Bag - £120 (vintage, available from www.itsvintagedarling.com)

This bag just screams vintage glamour and makes me want to don a ballgown, drink champagne and become transported back 50 years. As it's vintage, there's only one so if you want it you better be quick!

Polly Push Lock Tote - £895
Okay so I couldn't write about bags and not include one for us to dream about! Gorgeous, functional and fantastic quality. We love you Mulberry!

French Connection A/W

Love love love French Connection's Autumn/Winter collection! Despite Summer (supposedly) still being here, I'm already lusting over longer hemlines, wool and fur. As the colder months roll in I know what I'll be looking to cosy up in.

Constructivism Knit Jumper £67

Wonder Stretch  Skinny Trousers - £37

Dee Desert Boots - £100

Perfect for those slouchy chic days!
