I’ve been after a shearling jacket for ages and, after having my eye on one from Mango, which has now sold out, I’m taking no chances in snapping up this similar one from Reserved before it goes.
Adidas is also causing shopper regret with its colourful trainers this season – while many are sold out, I have managed to find this pair on Asos that will instantly lift all of my outfits.
Everyone has also been loving Bottega Veneta’s gold earrings recently, but at £550 a pop they’re a bit out of my price range, and while Amazon has a great dupe, I’m loving this pair from Mango that give a bit of a twist to the chunky gold earring.
Other things I want to make sure are in my basket include a denim midi skirt, cosy knitwear and this gorgeous Sister Jane leopard-print top available at John Lewis & Partners.

Scarf coats are a must-have item for autumn, and while tan and black styles have been a hit, this grey style is sure to be a sell-out success – I’ve added it to my basket to make sure I don’t miss out.
I’ve also nabbed this Zara black bag.
I love it – it looks so expensive and has a Loewe look about it with its slouchy silhouette, which is similar to the brand’s top-selling bags.
I love the gold hardware that elevates it from a high-street bag to a designer-looking style.
Next up is this dress from H&M, £37.99, which is in the colour of the season and has a bias shape that will flatter every figure.
I’m sure it will fly off shelves, so I’ll make sure I get it first.
I’ve held off getting into silver trousers as I hadn’t found the perfect pair for me, but these aren’t any silver trousers, these are Marks & Spencer silver trousers.
They’re already selling out in some sizes, so don’t hesitate to get yours.
I also love these sling backs. I already have them in grey and black, so it’s only right that I get them in red, too.
They’ll be great for giving my go-to jeans and a jumper looks some much-needed colour.

I spend half of my life rummaging around the high street and love finding a designer dupe for less.
H&M Premium range always delivers for me. Its cashmere jumpers and high-end-looking coats might cost a bit more, but it is definitely worth it for the quality.
This coat could be an Isabel Marant! I love it in the cream, but if you are more practical then it also comes in a charcoal grey.
Retro ’80s bodies have been going viral on TikTok and are the answer for everyone who is looking for jeans and a nice top.
This H&M one is super-chic and would look fabulous with these & Other Stories jeans that are amazing The Frankie Shop dupes.

If you couldn’t already tell, I’ve got a slight obsession with bows and, as we move closer to the festive season, I’m constantly adding bow-embellished items to my basket.
This H&M jacket is giving Ganni on a budget, and its one of those pieces I know I’ll get loads of wear out of this season for work and even into party season.
I also love these sling backs from the Louise Roe Edit at River Island are the perfect finishing touch to every party outfit – super-chic and not too much.
I also couldn’t resist this blended wool coat from Reserved. I love the autumnal check – it’s super-wearable but also makes a statement with a pop of blue.
