Belt up
If you’ve only ever thought of belts as a practical item in your wardrobe then you’re missing a trick. A belt can be worn with any outfit to add extra interest. A subtle indication that you gave a little thought to your look when you got dressed this morning- but not in a trying-too-hard- way.

A bold print dress is an effortless way to make a statement. Ignore trends and pick a print you love and you’ll find it becomes one of your wardrobe’s hardest working pieces- taking you from work to drinks to the weekend with ease.

Bling chains
the trend for statement jewelry is going nowhere fast. But a chunky gold chain will never go out of fashion. personally, i think they look best worn with a good quality scoop neck white t-shirt, jeans and a blazer for that Parisian effortlessly cool vibe

Boots
Oh how I love boots! wearing a pair will always put a little more strut in your stride. Whether we’re talking Biker style worn over jeans, knee-high buttery leather heels under this season’s New Boho style dresses, or kitten-heeled ankle boots that go with everything. there’s a boot shape and style for everybody.

sheer tights
yes wool tights are cosier, and 60 deniers may be more forgiving, but there is something about sheer tights, i.e 20 denier and below that’s unapologetically grown up. ( Be warned- they will ladder if you so much as look at them wrong- buy cheap and buy in bulk) Wear with a jumper dress and patent leather flats or ankle boots depending on your mood.

Burgundy
Add some interest to Autumn’s traditional colour pallet of blacks, browns and russets with a splash of more sophisticated Burgundy or oxblood. On trend for A/W and in my humble opinion more flattering than black or brown against pale skin tones. If you’re not ready to go all out just yet- dip you toes into the look Burgundy accessories like belts, bags or, shoes
