ASOS

I dont know if its because Asos have invested in some new models (am I alone in thinking they were all a bit snide before?) Anyway, the clothes all look amazing. This season is great for high street.

ZARA ONLINE

Zara has gone live and this is my wish list. I love the styling with the long silk skirts and oversize, grungy jumpers, cant find any of the amazing knits used in the shots on the site yet though! Sneaky. The shoes could be B Store, the bag is a complete copy of Alexander Wang and as usual the trousers are wonderful.

F TROUPE

An F Troupe store finally just opened in Soho, making it far easier to get hold of a pair of their beauteous kicks. Alternately you could buy some from their dickensian style online store F-Troupe.com. Either way, here are some examples to help wet your appetite. Just add red laces.

Mushroom? What Mushroom.

PARADOXAL. New Chanel nail colour for AW. Move over sludgy green. Hello milkyway.

H & M CAN DO NO WRONG

Just to add to the excitement of their collab with Lanvin and the launch of their online store, which is surely going to bankrupt me, H & M are branching out into the home... check out these pillows from their new home collection.

Just to add... lovely copies of the opening ceremony leopard print wedges, potential rivals to their recently released leopard desert boots, and this ring, featuring an owl, fox, rabbit and stag. All the best kinds of woodland creatures. All reasons to embrace the coming Autumn.

LANVIN X H & M

Swedish powerhouse H & M are teaming up with the incredible Alber Elbaz to create a collection which is set to be out this November. This is going to be AMAZE. I heard a rumour it was Bottega but this is so much better. Cant wait for them to preview the collection.

They just don't make life like this anymore...
