As the temperature drops, all I want to do is feel warm and cosy.
Soft cashmere that won’t break the bank, oversized mohair beanies for chilly early morning dog walks, and a statement scarf are all on my wish list this month.
I also love a good pair of jeans.
These dark blue ones are from a new range at Mango called Beyond, which uses recycled fabrics – so worth checking out!
I am a huge metallics fan and love this crossbody bag from COS.
Metallics are neutral so go with everything you already own in your wardrobe.
The slick design of this bag means it is great for day or night
The great thing about a statement coat is that it will give your old clothes a whole new spin.
This checked White Stuff one is fantastic!
I would wear it over a camel suit for work or over jeans and a nice jumper to got to the pub for a Sunday roast.

Just because the temperature has dropped doesn’t mean you’ll find me wrapping up any time soon.
It basically has to be snowing before I put on any serious layers.
I love this A-line dress from Arket at H&M, as it’s the perfect day to night dress.
I will wear it to the office with boots, but also on a night out with a pair of killer heels.
And when times do get really cold, I’ll add a pair of sheer black tights.
While I’m still all over dresses, I do love investing in new coats for the colder season.
The fluffy grey Mango cropped coat is sure to keep me warm and looking stylish all at once.
It’s an easy throw-on over a slip dress or a T-shirt and wide-leg trouser look.

I’ve been after a pair of chunky gold earrings for ages and I’ve finally found the perfect pair on Missoma.
Whilst they’re not the cheapest, they are good quality, so I know they will last me and not tarnish or hurt my ears.
Speaking of accessories, I’m really liking the look of hair bows at the moment and this one from Oliver Bonas will look great in my hair.
I’m still looking for some comfort – hence the sweatshirt from Zara! – however I am starting to dip my toes into party season.
I’m so glad kitten heels are sticking around, as I’m not the best at walking in a high heel, while this bow jacket from & Other Stories has a hint of sparkle without being too OTT.
And of course we’re now fully into coat season, so I’ve got my eyes on this shearling coat from H&M, which will keep me extra warm and cosy this winter.

Now autumn is here, I’ve realised my transitional wardrobe needs a refresh.
I’ve been after an inbetween jacket that works for weekends and work, isn’t too short and isn’t too heavy. And, thankfully, this taupe-coloured style ticks all those boxes – so it’s top of my wish list currently.
As well as needing a coat, I’m after layering pieces that I can wear day-to-day and for cosying up on the sofa in – I’m still resisting putting the heating on!
This Skims top it like a grown-up vest. It flatters my silhouette and feels so luxurious. Plus, you can’t go wrong with a cosy cardigan like this one from John Lewis.
I’m also really into so-called ‘espresso dressing’ at the moment – which essentially means wearing colours that look like coffee, though my colour spectrum expands to tea, too, because let’s face it, with dark mornings and nights setting in, we’ll need all the warming brews we can get.

I’ve been really enjoying the pink knit trend that I’ve seen all over TikTok.
Pink jumpers seem to be selling out everywhere, so this chunky one from H&M will be going straight in my basket!
I’ve also been looking for a couple of essentials to layer up. This white shirt has gorgeous button detailing, and I couldn’t resist this showstopper blazer from Mango – the rose corsage detail makes it really special.
I’m also super-pleased to have found this beauty of a shearling jacket at Next. At £70, it’s reasonably priced and perfect for layering over chunky knits.
During the morning commute, I’ve been feeling the chill, so I’ve decided it is time to invest in some new mittens, and I love this pair.
Although a tad more expensive, this Anthropologie bag (the Bottega dupe) has been on my wish list since it launched and I’ve been saving up to buy it. It’s a great quality brand and I don’t mind paying a little more for a product that’ll last.
