Whistles – new this A/W 10
Whistles has opened a flagship store in The Village at Westfield London. We’ve been anticipating it for a while and we were chuffed to bits when it opened. It is fabulous!
Step inside this amazing new store and you can’t help but get a flutter of excitement. Their new season collection has some really distinct pieces that we are coveting in a major way.
This bold stripe top (£85) is on definitely on our new season wish list. Plus, this camel cape (£195) is one of the best we’ve seen around for A/W10.
You’ll also find Whistles at the Car Boot Fair this week. You must check out their car. You can’t miss it with its giant whistle on the roof! Pick a whistle from the boot and you could win a goody bag if it makes a sound. If it doesn’t, try your hand in the tombola. Also, each day Whistles will be making spot reductions on a product. Listen out – you could get a new season piece at a bargain price.
We’ll be tweeting our insider secret info on Westfield London Twitter, so sign up to keep in the know.

The leopard look
Animal print is the statement print for Autumn/Winter. It is everywhere! Unleash your inner leopard and go wild with the print.
Coat £200, dress £45 and snood £25, all from Warehouse
The statement coat is a key piece and a faux fur leopard print number will certainly make a statement. There are great vintage styles around, whether you’re looking for a super-warm winter coat or a snuggly shorter jacket. A leopard print fur coat or jacket is a one piece wonder which you can throw on for instant glamour.
Left to right: Leopard print faux fur jacket, French Connection £120; Vintage leopard print faux fur coat, Topshop £98
Take one bold print piece, like these skinnies, and contrast them with different textures and layers. Mix with lace and even florals now, then add on chunky knits as the weather gets chillier. Or take a floaty leopard print dress (check out Reiss and Warehouse) and team it with a leather Aviator jacket.
Left to right: Animal print day top, Star by Julien MacDonald for Debenhams £40; Print court shoes, Dorothy Perkins, £25; Leopard print skinnies, Topshop £45; Zip detail print pumps, Oasis £40; Animal print zip detail skirt, River Island £29.99
Is leopard a bit fierce for you? Scared of the bold print? Just go for an accessory. You’ll find bags, shoes, belts, lingerie, hats, scarves, gloves and even bangles featuring the print. There’s no escaping it this season, so be brave and release your inner Bet Lynch.

Scarlett Johansson for Mango
Scarlett Johansson simply sizzles in her Autumn/Winter campaign shots for Mango. The high street store’s new season collection celebrates feminine curves and Scarlett is the ideal model. The actress looks every bit the retro Hollywood star in these vintage-inspired pieces.

Caped crusaders
Wondering how to update your wardrobe for the new season? One of the must-have items this Autumn/Winter is the cape, in all its swirling glory.
Cashmere cape, COS £219
It was seen on many designer catwalks. Favourites of ours were Celine, Chloe and Halston. Versions are now arriving daily in high street stores.
You may think the cape is hard to wear, but believe us, it’s not. It is the ultimate statement piece. Just throw it on and get an instant fashion upgrade. It suits all sizes and shapes too. Be warned though – you may feel compelled to swirl around in it like some kind of highwayman or Sherlock Holmes!
Left to right: Candy stitch cape, Reiss £195; Black military cape, Topshop £95
The wool cape is the ideal winter cover-up, but we’re also big fans of this trench-style cape from H&M.
Mac-style cape, H&M £34.99
Look out for capes in a range of colours. There are easy-to-wear, elegant styles in camel and black. Styles embracing the season’s military trend in khaki or stone with metal buttons and detail. Or you could stand out from the crowd in bright reds and bold checks.
Left to right: Check cape, M&S £65; Khaki parka cape, Miss Selfridge at House of Fraser £42

Spend or save: skinny cargo pants
The military trend is key for Autumn/Winter and khaki trousers have been spotted across numerous collections. But would you go for the khaki cargos loved by celebs or the high street budget buy?
Left to right: Khaki skinny cargo pants, New Look £25; J Brand Houlihan khaki skinny cargo pants, Donna Ida £245
We’ve lost count of the number of stylish celebs that we’ve spotted wearing J Brand Houlihans - Jessica Alba, Rachel Bilson and Kate Bosworth are just a few of them. The skinny khaki version has been flying off the shelves at Donna Ida. Fear not, they are back in stock now.
Look out for the new Houlihan in town too. Stealth is the same skinny jean style, but it’s leather. Trust us, it is seriously hot! Us Westfield fashionistas are counting down for their arrival. You’ll find them in Donna Ida too (£300).
But if you’re looking for a more purse-friendly option, check out Next and New Look. Both stores have skinny cargo pants which are rather similar in style to the J Brand Houlihans but at a mere £25.
Skinny cargoes: spend or save?

Lady in red
Looking for the perfect red dress for the new season? Well look no further than this fantastic buy from Oasis (£50).
It’s so ladylike, with cute ruffles on the sleeves and pretty bow details to draw attention to the waist. We love the Peter Pan collar which you’ll spot a lot in Autumn/Winter collections this year.
The shape is 60s-inspired which is big news this season. It’s all about Mad Men styling and femininity. Complete your ladylike look with a chic bag carried in the crook of your arm and a pair of kitten heels.
So ditch the black for a while, and be a lady in red.
60s bow shift dress, Oasis £50
