Knitted Jacquard Skater Dress, £149, from Ted Baker
While we prefer the weather in the summer, we most definitely prefer the fashion in the winter and can already hear the call of cosy knits, stylish boots and hats with bobbles on top!

the threads
Mahhar Chevron Longline Coat, £359, from Ted Baker – First thing’s first, with the temperatures dropping you’re going to need a cosy winter coat to keep warm. As a key investment piece for the season, we see this as an area to blow a bit more of the budget on, plus a good winter coat can last you years. With party season approaching we’re thinking this smart Ted Baker number is an excellent choice.
The Headrow Jumper, £45, from Archive by Alexa at Marks & Spencer – With the cold weather comes chunky knits and we adore this traditional cable knit jumper from Alexa Chung’s latest collection at M&S. Following the success of her first line, we expect it to be a sell-out item so shop quickly girls!
Frame Le Skinny de Jeanne Mid-Rise Jeans, £205, from Net-A-Porter – Another invest piece for the season, jeans! Although the ‘mom’ cut is on the rise we like a good pair of skinnies for the winter that we can easily slide into our over-the-knee boots to avoid cold ankles.
Pleated Velvet Midi Dress, £75, from Oasis – A key fabric for the season, you must have at least one velvet garment in your wardrobe, whether it be a cold-shoulder top, party skirt or an all-rounder dress such as this beauty from Oasis. We adore the dusky pink colour and love that the design has on-trend pleating too. A wonderfully versatile piece that can be dressed up or down.
Tatlin Beau Jersey Lace Dress, £49, from French Connection – No winter wardrobe is complete without a little black dress and the fashion gods at French Connection have gone and done an insanely good-value line of LBD’s for just £49, leaving you with spare cash to splurge on your accessories!
Double Elastic Stripe Leggings, £20, from Topshop – While we love dressing up during the party season we also love to have some easy-to-wear casuals for those lazy days. And what could be more comforting than a big, cosy jumper and a pair of stretchy leggings?
Metallic Faux Leather Skirt, £35, from Warehouse – Another big look for the season is metallics; whether you choose a bold item or just add small pops in your accessories. We love this gold skirt from Warehouse, which looks like the real deal for a snip of the price and is great for both daytime and night.
Printed Blouse with Bow, £25.99, from Zara – No matter what the weather is doing we always like to have a cool blouse or shirt to hand. Giving a nod to the 70s with its billowing bow and sleeves, this gorgeous design can easily be worn with jeans and layered up for a casual look, or alternatively would make a great accompaniment to that Warehouse skirt for a festive night out.
Sequin Disc Jumper, £55, from Warehouse – Hurrah, sequin season has returned and we’re getting our sparkle on with this fabulous, head-turning jumper!
the accessories
Ailara Micro Bow Leather Gloves, £89, from Ted Baker – Well if we’re buying the coat we may as well go all out and get co-ordinating gloves too!
Floral Embroidered Cross Body Bag, £34, from Topshop – The party season calls for a new party bag and they don’t come much louder than this. Featuring masculine studs and feminine embroidery, this is a perfectly balanced bag that we’re totally in love with!
Geometric Jaquard Scarf, £19.99, from Zara – As far as we’re concerned, when it comes to winter a girl just can’t have too many scarves, and Zara does them oh so well. As we’re geometric-obsessed we will definitely be adding this one to the shopping cart.
Sammy Boots, £180, from Kurt Geiger – Tis the season for boots and this year the two main trends are one extreme to the other; over-the-knee and ankle. While we do sometimes worry that a thigh-high-boot could cause us to look like a pantomime character, we just can’t help but give into their flirty appeal.
Patchwork Pearle Hobo Bag, £90, from French Connection – While we’ve got the party bag sorted, we’ll be needing a new day bag too and adore this classic brown leather design that we know will just get better with age!
Kiri Leopard Purse, £35, from Dune – Well we couldn’t have a new bag without a new purse. Check out the latest to arrive at Dune, problem is if you’re anything like us you will want more than just the one.
Soft Grey Faux Fur Scarf, £25, from Topshop – Did we mention that we have a thing for scarves? Another winter-must has to be a little throw-on faux fur for those nights on the town.
Gold Knit Bobble Hat, £13, from River Island – We are pleased to see the bobble hat live on for another year and love this glam metallic design.
Amaze Star Boots, £65, from Miss Selfridge – This year we’re totally spoilt for choice ankle boot wise with everything from glitter, buckled and embroidery designs to choose from, though it’s these sparklers that have us all starry-eyed!
