Lucy Lawson’s Mid-Season Suggestions In Todays Hert’s Advertiser

Can’t see it? Here’s what i said…
The weather is doing my head, wardrobe and my wallet in. When I rise for work every morning it’s usually cold, so I wrap myself in a plethora of knits. Yet by lunchtime I’m like a stressed sheep; clammy and woolly. On the other hand, if it’s fair out side I may wear some skinnys and a top. Maybe even a tea dress and a blazer. Needless to say I inevitably end up freezing and therefore grumpy. To be honest I’m over it, the present climate is like dating a flaky boy. I’m confused, don’t know where I stand, and just wish the weather would commit!
Turning a negative into a positive, it’s a great excuse (like we need one girls) to buy…..lovely scarves (Cue a trip to The Dressing Room in St Albans, Anna in Harpenden, or even Accessorize in Welwyn); cosy cardis and light knits (M&S have some great and reasonably prices staple ones); and that can’t be without Autumn essential leather jacket (after all, every girl does need a fabulous leather jacket)…..erm , i might have, erm, accidentally, erm, bought-the jacket-of-my-dreams from Whistles this month. Shhhhh.
Whistles Leather Jacket – £295 from John Lewis
Autumn is also an exciting time for footwear with so many great options to choose from. I’m loving the extended stay of the Chelsea boot (check out Russell and Bromley, they have some fab ones). The Dressing Room in St Albans have some gorgeous sheepskin lined baseball boots, and even Uggs are upping their games and making their boots less, well, Ugg-ly. Alternatively, I would advise investing in a good brogue or loafer, if you’re not ready for boots yet. Don’t skimp in shoe area ladies. Cheap footwear is a false economy and in the wise words of India Knight, ‘always buy the best you can afford’. Kate Kanzier have some fab coloured brogues, as do Kurt Geiger and Office. Do not, i repeat not, go to Primark. Save such a trip for high fashion shoes which you will fall apart as soon as they start to become dated anyway.
Cadogan Chelsea Boot – Russell & Bromley £195
Betana Brogue – £55 from www.katekanzier.com
Winter is on it’s way, and like a band of well healed squirrels, we need to be prepared girls. That’s what I told my bank manager anyway. Here are some of my best autumn buys that you shouldn’t be without in these trying mid season months.
Bargain! – Abby Boho Patchwork Square Scarf – £18 from Accessorize
Barter! – Cath Kidston Birds Shawl – £48 from www.cathkidston.co.uk
Bank job! - Leopard Print Scarf, Lily and Lionel £90 from http://www.the-dressingroom.com/
