I could not be more pleased that capes and blanket scarfs are huge for AW. Any excuse to wrap up in a big blanket and float around is ok with me!

The high street have such a fab range for AW and you can pick up one for about £20! They are great for this in between season weather where you need a light layer to throw on and of. 

I wore mine with a floral jumpsuit underneath layered with a gorgeous white shirt which has amazing sleeve detailing from Pretty White Lies. I have been itching to use this amazing ASOS Orange Fur Clutch which I got in the sale for about £8!I thought it worked perfectly with the floral pattern colouring and added some texture. 

How are you wearing your blanket cape this season?

Well, incase you've been living under a rock the last month or so, you will probably know this season's 'it' item is the blanket cape. I try not to give 'it' items the time and space in my wardrobe unless I really fall for a piece but this trend is just so huge, we both wanted to show you guys how we would both style this must have.

There are two main styles available on the high street - those similar to the Burberry AW show sported by Cara etc. and tribal/aztec/navajo inspired pieces, like a sort of transitional Kimono. Neither of these really took my fancy (though if someone does fancy getting me an actual Burbs with AJW on that would be great) so my first task was to find a blanket cape a little more me. This plain grey number from H&M seemed spot on. I don't usually go for tassly bits but I actually didn't mind them on this! as it added the perfect bit of interest to the piece and the outfit

Seeing as Autumn is offically here, it only seemed right to layer the blanket cape with my favourite item, the jumper. This statement motif number from Whistles was the exact excuse I needed to do an all tonal outfit with the cape so added my Motel Rocks skirt and new Asos Sale fur into the mix too. To break up the fifty shades of grey I went for textured black bag and shoes.

Have you bought into the blanket cape trend? I think I might just have been won over!

Monthly Must Haves (August) - Amy

August out, Autumn in - another summer over far too quickly but oh my godddd the high street are hitting us left, right and centre with the most amazing new season pieces. I apologise for the Topshop-heavy post but after going back to work for a day last week, I've come away with so much inspiration and a wishlist as long as my arm, this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many brands I just love but every AW (in particular), I'm reminded I'm a total toppers girl at heart:
