Yes I am missing the Summer Heat already, and the longer days and the dinners al fresco on the terrace. But, on the other hand, it has been so hot in August and even September, that I was starting to drool over my knits and coats and stomping my feet not to be able to start wearing the new trends of this season. Not least because there is something incredibly romantic and gentle about the high street's FW collection debuts. Velvet of course, ruffles,  luxurious colours, graphic cuts, soft patterns, pussy bows... Candies for grown ups! 

What I couldn't resist...

I have completely fallen for this Zara side buttoned shirt (£22.99), this H&M polka dot navy dress (not on line yet, £50) and this red velvet top from Zara (£25.99). But I managed not to buy everything I longed for so there is a much longer wish-list from Zara, H&M, but also Topshop and ASOS. See what you fancy!
