I don’t know about you but, apart from the tartan VW suit I told you about, I am getting drawn to neutrals again. Easy to wear, practical but stylish clothes that I can mix and match and know they will never let me down. Perhaps we’re all fed up with blingy dressing and obvious labels? Who knows, but I can relay that Jil Sander (pictured) is not the only designer to go to the high street with pared down style that we can all access (see my blog dated 13th August). Look out for Adam Lippes for Mango (effortless styling from the USA), Pierre Hardy for Gap (staples in the shoe department) and Roksanda Ilinicic for Whistles for beautiful, sexy but ‘not in your face’ eveningwear.  Of course, if you want to stay funky and dramatic, there are options as many other designers are also in collaboration with the cheaper high street stores. This is your chance to purchase seriously sexy Jimmy Choos from £50 ( H&M), totally wild Giles accessories from £30 at New Look (party dresses too) and Matthew Williamson has changed his allegiance and is now showcasing in Debenhams. Dates of launch range from early September through to end November.
