Dorothy Perkins – Jumpers just got interesting
Maybe it’s because we are now firmly into Autumn. Or maybe it’s because I have a dreadful cold and feel rather lousy this morning. Whatever it is, my thoughts and shopping lists just seem to be full of jumpers. Thick ones, fluffy ones, oversized ones, pretty ones that look like you could add a string of pearls to them, jumpers are most definitely having a moment. Dorothy Perkins currently have some really amazing jumpers that transcend the idea that a sweater is just something you throw on at the weekend with jeans.

White Stuff have skirts all sewn up this season.
I was recently given the opportunity to review my first White Stuff skirt. Being a huge fan of their fun and flirty dresses I was really interested to see if they could convert this avid dress wearer to the joys of wearing skirts.

Muubaa – Statement Coats and Leather dresses
I first became aware of Muubaa due to ‘Made in Chelsea’. The ever stylish Rosie Fortescue was wearing the most amazing leather coat in one of the winter episodes, and a little Twitter research led me to find out that the highly covetable jacket was from Muubaa. I’ve been a fan ever since, and so was anticipating the Autumn/Winter collection with much excitement. I have not been disappointed. The latest collection is stunning. Using its trademark leather, but also adding elements of shearling and sheepskin, Muubaa has created a range of coats that offer warmth and style. With enlarged collars, diagonal zip fastenings and with cuts that take in trenchcoat…
