I'm sure I'm not alone in stating that Luella is one of my favourite designers. Her
Autumn '08 show was amazing and now that the clothes have actually hit stores I am even more excited! I love the folky feel of the pieces and have been desperately searching out a cheaper version of the
Caroline plaid skirt to no avail.

Personally I think that French Connection is a bit of an unsung hero of the High Street shoe world. I never really consider it when seeking out a new pair of heels but when I stumbled upon this pair of t-bar sandals I could not ignore them!
The
Juno sandal (£100) features tiny studs and peep-toe detail.

Last week I
told you about Alexander McQueen's plans to sell a collection straight off the runway on net-a-porter.com. The show took place last night at 5pm and the items are now available to buy.
These included a gorgeous androgynous
white pinstripe jumpsuit and this amazing
little black dress (£995).

You don't have to spend loads of money on a designer handbag to get a stylish daytime tote. This Autumn there are plenty of good bags available on the High Street, you just have to seek them out a little! I know many of you were left impressed by
Laura Ashley's handbag offering (which is now available by the way) so I couldn't resist sharing this find too.

Following
New York Fashion Week, fashion
editors were heralding the return of the skirt, particuarly after
Marc Jacobs appeared in an a-line skirt at a party.
Whilst I love skirts, the main problem is that they take more thought to wear than dresses, since you also have to coordinate them with a top. You could only imagine how happy I was to discover the rise of the two-for-one dress in which a skirt and a top are sneakily sewn together!
