One of the key high street pieces of this season and last, I thought it was time to invest in one for myself. Personally I’m a virgin to wearing plaid shirts so I chose to play it safe with black and white, but now I’m a true fan I turn my sights to the Oversize Check Shirt from Topshop.

Topshop without question have produced some of the best including one red one I have seen and adore, but right now I want the ¾ length sleeve blue one. A little more difficult to match than black and white perhaps play it safe with some black skinny jeans and pumps or denim high waisted shorts.

Buy it now at Topshop online priced at £28.

The catwalks were ‘laced’ this season with designers like Luella and Prada incorporating a modern goth element into their collections. Romantic and elegant, lace and frills are definitely a dramatic and gorgeous look for Autumn/Winter. And this lace corset from Topshop encapsulates the look perfectly. At only £30.00 it’s a great way to be on-trend at a fraction of the designer prices.

This gorgeous piece is both elegant and sexy and the cute bow detail is really chic. Team with black skinny jeans for a more edgy look or add a skirt for something a bit more feminine. And don’t be afraid to accessorise this piece – gold statement jewellery will complement it beautifully or add some lace shoe boots for a really romantic look.

Remember lace is supposed to be sexy and stylish so don’t get too carried away adding too many pieces. And make sure you stay well away from that old lacy underwear!

OOOO I love this gorgeous chain detail top from Christopher Kane! This is perfectly on trend with the rock chic look that has been bombarding the highstreet this season! Christopher Kane has really wowed its critics with his latest collection that features sheer layers and panels of bold sequins and interesting shapes! This sheer top is a beautiful piece that combines all these great ideas from the catwalk into a more commercial and wearble piece!

I can just see this top with some fab PVC leggings and towering patent heels, fab! Get yours today from Browns fashion for a whopping £1,000.00!

I love the collaboration between Oasis and Liberty’s, it has really spiced up the brand known for its subtle trend driven basics.

This new six piece capsule collection features reworked archive floral prints from Liberty’s. The collection includes 4 dresses ranging from £65 to £75 and 2 tops from £50; slightly more expensive than what we are used to from the Oasis brand, however once you see the collection you will appreciate the beautiful prints and trimmings that make this collection stand out from the rest.

Team these items with a faux fur gilet, denim flares and knee high boots for a true bohemian style.

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.

To me this whole outfit is gorgeous; I love the cute vest tucked into the checked skirt, and teamed with bright tights and shoe boots I think this cleverly turns a Summer look into an Autumn one whilst staying on trend and quirky. The skirt has a flattering hour-glass tulip shape and teamed with low fronted shoes boots, gives a very leggy look.

I think this a great transitional outfit as we drift from Summer to Autumn – teaming Summer vests and thin skirts with bright tights and shoe boots is a great way of getting the most out of your summer wardrobe whilst incorporating some of your new and exciting A/W purchases.

Throw a short cropped jacket over the top to finish the look off. Both the vest and skirt are by Arrogant Cat and are available at £29 and £99 respectively, from ASOS.

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.

The t shirt is the prime way to make a statement! Lanvin has certainly done this with this fun face print t shirt! The scribbled animated faces are great, perfect for those that are sick of formal wear and want to make a fun and cheeky statement!

The beige chiffon flower adds some serious style to the T dressing it up in a quirky way! There is also chiffon trim around the neck line and sleeves to give it that luxurious feel we of course, expect from Lanvin.

Pair with some tapered black trousers and platform heels for a stylish, fun look! Order your luxurious t shirt today from Browns fashion for £315!
