1. CULOTTES
 |
| Wool culottes, £25, Next |
The unexpected trouser of the summer is even bigger for winter. Look for luxe fabrics and pair with an oversized polo neck and a pair of fab chunky heels.
2. A POM POM KEYRING
 |
| Faux fur pom pom keyring, £19, Jigsaw |
So this is a bit specific, I know. But every Fashion Editor has one of these – they’re a great entry level into the faux fur craze and you can add to your handbag for a bit of extra ‘flair’.
3. A Dicker Boot
 |
| Flat buckle boot, £39.50, Marks + Spencer |
More importantly, a blue dicker boot. A flat, pointy boot is a wardrobe essential for the season and blue is the colour du jour – don’t forget M+S ‘Insolia’ technology will also make these the comfiest boots you’ll ever own.
4. Ripped skinny jeans
 |
| ‘Jade’ ripped jeans, £40, Oasis |
Tried and tested: these jeans are so comfortable. The would look great with aforementioned dicker boots…

5. A PUFFA
 |
| Ultra Light Down Parka, £59.90, Uniqlo |
This is no joke, the puffa jacket is back. I would opt for a cropped, sporty style over the full length or longer version. And you really can’t beat Uniqlo’s for value and warmth. Try with tailored trousers and Adidas Originals.
Love love all of these, have most definitely got my eye on a Uniqlo puffa, on trend and warm…sounds perfect. Fab buys Alex xx
I went to buy it today but didn't have my size…I've ordered it in so watch this space! x
Worth the wait, thanks
haha! thanks for persevering with my lack of technical knowledge!
M&S had some great blue culottes I was considering last time I was in there but couldn't decide if I'd get enough wear out of them being casually dressed most of the time, might have to pop back again 🙂
I think I saw these! Almost bought myself x
Love love love your picks Alex. Realistic, stylish and up to date – you are one of the very best bloggers around. Hx
too kind x
That pom pom keyring has really tickled me (pardon the pun!) I think it's a must as a nod to the fur craze this season.
I need one too! Or maybe two…x
Love these! Culottes on order…plus the Next faux fur scarf you featured. You're too good Alex! Lisax ps you looked fab last night too!
So pleased! Hope the culottes are good, i'm excited to take mine into A/W…
Thanks for this! Those Oasis jeans are out of stock in some sizes online! Hopefully they'll have some in store. Those boots are gorgeous too!
Oh I'm sorry…sometimes oasis often better instore I find x
Love your picks Alex.
Was in H&M earlier and spotted two things that you would look great in;

Both look better in the flesh and the jumpsuit is great in navy and grey.
Anyway, just wanted to share!
You're totally right – lOVE these!
I will be having those culottes Mrs O'd! I think we were lucky with the weather for the day – slipping away has turned into slipped! But here's to those adorable trews and my favourite time of year for clothes- autumn! Xx
Thanks for having us at your wedding! Plus blog is sorted now, think post before was doing some horrible layered thing….eek – enjoy your honeymoon! x
Those jeans and boots look great on you!
