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.

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!

The wool cape is the ideal winter cover-up, but we’re also big fans of this trench-style cape from H&M.

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.
