As we begin to feel the temperatures drop I find myself struggling to find a nice comfy cardi to wear! I’ve been looking for a cardi that can also double up as a jacket as I refuse to wear a coat just yet!

This cardi by Rick Owen looks like it is a perfect transitional piece that can see me into autumn nicely! The length of the cardi is just great! (I’ve got a thing for long cardi’s at the mo!) And I love the tie detail at the front; it has an All Saints feel to it that I simply adore!

Buy your Rick Owens Tie-front cardigan today from net a porter for £450.

Im afraid it is coming to that time of year when we all need to start investing in a chunky winter knit to guard off those wintery chills! This year I don’t want a boring grey or black knit to match our boring grey weather, I thought I would brighten up my winter wardrobe with one of these geometric print knits!

The first knit on the left is a Missoni Ciclamino belted cardigan, the pinky hues will look fab with denim and the striking zig zag pattern really funks up the simple cardi, this knit can be purchased from net a porter for £705. If your budget doesn’t quite stretch to this, take a peek at this chunky graphic cardi from French connection, it looks ultra cosy and the print once again jazzes it up nicely! Buy yours online for £125!

Last but not least is this folk inspired sweater by Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti, I really like the autumnal colours in this knit, it would look great with a pair of jeans and Uggs, you can purchase this jumper online from net a porter.

I love this bow tie sweater by 3.1 Phillip Lim. Quirky and cute this is a great throw on sweater to check you warm and cosy on those dreary winter days, With such a ‘finished’ look to it you needn’t major on jewellery either.

This is one of those easy-on tops that can be dressed up with a pencil skirt, tights and heals or simply thrown on with some wide leg trousers for effortless chic (and easy grab and go outfit in the morning when running late).

Also cute for playtime, this could be teamed with skinnies, a belt, shoe boots and an oversized clutch for a relaxed, yet polished look. However you want to wear it, this daywear piece is irresistible and can be bought online at Browns for £270.

Its time to get patriotic! Well that is obviously the view of Alexander Mc Queen after producing this union jack cardigan. McQueen has cleverly used the very popular wintery colour palette to reinvent the British flag. A good idea as the typical red, white and blue may have looked slightly garish.

This cardi is perfect for reflecting the heraldry trend and would look great with some tapered tailored trousers and towering heels. I love the draped shape of the cardi, it’s very feminine but the print makes it more masculine.

If you fancy being patriotic this winter, head to Browns fashion and buy yours today for £595!

Want something snugly to wrap up in during these dismal rainy days?

As the weather gets colder and you begin to reach for last years jumpers from the back of the wardrobe or under the bed or for the lucky ones among you, from your dedicated winter closet, make sure you add a folk knit wrap to your collection this year.

This one from French Connection is gorgeous – and will look great slung over pretty much anything. Some celebs have been spotted rocking the look just wrapping theirs over stonewash jeans and a vintage tee.

For me I think it is perfect weekend ‘nestingwear’ (think rainy day, hot chocolate and a good book, or a good throw-over when ducking out to buy the Sunday papers) and made with angora it’s super snugly and cosy.

If you want to make more of it then combine with a simple plain scoop neck vest and super skinny jeans and killer heels.

This time I fall in love with another sweater and it just happens to be by Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti.

Again so blown away by the amazing designs for a fraction of the cost, this Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti Geometric patterm sweateris just £240. The roll-neck, multicolored, long sleeve sweater presents a stylish and quirky look which would make lovely with some skinny jeans and flat ballet pumps or over the jean equestrian knee highs.

As I said before I know it’s still summer but I adore the winter warmers that are surfacing right now and that includes this cozy cashmere addition by Stella McCartney.

The oversized sweater makes me dream about being warm and cozy with a cup of coco in front of a blazing fire in a log cabin after an exciting day on the slopes. I guess I’ll keep my fantasy of skiing in my imagination for the moment but this sweater is up for serious consideration. The multi–colored wool cashmere sweater looks comfy, has full sleeves and would look great with slim fit jeans to balance the over sized top. Perhaps combine the Ugg boot for total comfort or with a stylish boot for sophistication.

Buy it now at net-a-porter costing £795.

Want a nice new snugly jumper to throw on as the weather begins to turn more chilly? Then you may want to invest in this dreamy offering from All Saints – a slouchy knit top which as an added bonus happens to be totally reversible!

You can wear it front-to-back (as opposed to inside out) and the back has pretty little gold popper buttons from top to bottom, which can be worn at the front or at the back, and give this top a totally new look and feel when reversed. At £75 it’s a bit of an investment piece for a daywear top but with two completely very different looks I don’t think you can go wrong.

Team with dark tone skinny jeans, killer heals and, due to the slash-neck design, a skinny scarf to keep you cosy.

I often find it a challenge to find interesting throw-on vests for a relaxed weekend-jeans-look which are funky without looking too young. I think Sass & Bide get it right time and time again and have all the right ingredients with this tank style vest.

The design is fun but the real excitement for me is the fabric, which unlike most vests, is not made from cotton but is actually fine knitwear made from bamboo. Up close it looks like a really fine, soft luxury knitted material which begs to be touched. Next season it’s all about texture, so this could easily translate into many on-trend layered looks as well as serve as a great informal throw-on top which you could tuck into jeans for a bit of edge or wear all wear hanging out for a chilled-out vibe.
