My petite frame means that my wardrobe is quite lacklustre in the dress department, so when I find one that is edgy and fits, it is truly happy days.

Needless to say, I've been thoughtfully outfit repeating and wearing this dress close to non-stop over the last week. If you were one that loved the high-low hem, then this one is perfect for you. But even those who were not such a fan, the subtly of this piece means you won't instantly be irked either. The tie around the waist gives it shape and the light weight material makes such a comfortable piece. I also don't have to tell you that dresses like does all the work for you, making the days with nothing to wear ten times easier.

Can we all just take a moment for these Topshop boots. If you're a regular visitor then you know I am a little straight up boot crazy. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't fall for the soft leather and that red tortoise shell heel.

Alert! Here has arrived the colour of the season. Burnt orange, congac, a thoughtful mix of orange and brown, whatever you want to call it, you'll soon be seeing it pop up in your shopping trips. And I'm sure it will surprise you, how easily this colour can be incorporated into your wardrobe, adding a sense of revitalization in your neutral palette.

I am loving the high drape neck, it puts the hard work of looking put together super duper easy. Two pieces I've been wearing a tonne the past month, because who doesn't love easy throw on pieces!
