THE AUTUMN EDIT: HIGH STREET BUYS FOR FALL 15

One of the consolation prizes of summer coming to an abrupt end here in the UK is the prospect of a shiny, new autumn wardrobe. There are some bonkers and brilliant trends flying around next season - I'm sure I'll get on board with some seventies folk and tactile shearling, but as a fairly classic dresser I'm drawn towards perennial autumnal classics - a great coat, smart flats, leopard prints, flashes of burgundy. After a summer of fun, my budget is less prada and more primark, so this edit is all from the high street, too (yippee!). 

Left column top - bottom: Star hoops, Tada and Toy, £53. High vamp loafers, Next, £32. Belleville tailored burgundy trousers, Next, £165.

Middle column top - bottom: Pinstripe coat, And Other Stories, £165. Burgundy messenger bag, Charles & Keith, £49. Leopard print courts, Boden, £110. 

Right column top - bottom: Bien motif t-shirt, Whistles, £45. White lace hem blouse, Atterley, £50. Agnes burgundy leather jacket, Whistles, £330. 

SHOPPING FOR: PALM PRINTS

A perennial summer favourite, palm prints are maturing into the trend of spring/summer 15 (expect horticural pun overkill in this post - sorry!). The cooler alternative to chintzy country garden florals, the high street is overgrown with evergreen ferns and tropical palm motifs this season. To do this look on a budget, head to H&M - I picked up a printed shirt and culottes from the latest H&M conscious collection for just over £30 for the set. At the top end of the high street, East London print purveyor House of Hackney is your go to - the 'palmeral' print is signature to the brand and a design classic. Here's my edit of the best palm prints available now:

Left column top - bottom: Palmeral 'Ameil' t-shirt dress, House of Hackney. Hillier palm tree 14kt yellow gold single earring, Mytheresa. Mara Hoffman harvest cut-out swimsuit, Net-a-porter. 

Middle column top - bottom: Elizabeth and James palm print stretch scuba jersey top, Net-a-porter. Puma tennis shoes, House of Hackney x Puma. Patterned culottes, H&M. Soft fold clutch, Charles & Keith. 

Right column top-bottom: East palm print linen dress, John Lewis. Mgsm palm tree sandals, Farfetch.com. Hillier palm tree necklace, Mytheresa.com.
