2 Ways to Wear a Pink PVC Midi
No, I absolutely cannot resist either (a) PVC midi skirts; or (b) pink clothing in any shape or form, so the Missguided Mircia midi was never going to escape my clutches. The standard styling treatment for pastel pencils appears to be to shroud them in oversized neutral T-shirts or sweaters, but I fancied upping the girly factor for summer by piling on the prints and pastels...

Gingham Disco Jeans
Anyone fancy a less-than-half-price dupe for Topshop's gingham print Joni jeans? Have a squizz at New Look's 915 range... even if you are 16 or over! Admittedly, my 5'7" height has transformed these age-13 disco jeans into 7/8 capri pants, but I'm embracing the '50s Monroe/'60s Hepburn vibe... and if you do need a little more fabric, they're available up to age 14-15!

Féline Good: Brian Lichtenberg eBay Dupe
I've been a tad tardy in boarding the Brian Lichtenberg designer-parody bandwagon, but I can never resist a slogan T-shirt trend for too long... nor, indeed, any item of clothing relating to cats. This £8.99 eBay version is the purrfect (*groan*) dupe for the BLTEE, er, dupe. I'm optimistic that its nonchalant high-low vibe will effortlessly revitalise my old staples for summer, beginning with my patent midis... rather Parisienne, non?

Matalan AW14 Press Day
Last week, I was invited to preview Matalan's AW14 collection. As you may have noticed, I've been a rather enthusiastic consumer of their SS14 collection, so I was dying to see what they had in store for autumn. And... I was pretty bowled over, particularly by the standout coat and accessory ranges - I'm not sure I've ever seen so many could-be-designer pieces with such weeny price tags in one place!
Following last season's frantic scrabbling for pastel coats and tartan pieces, it looks like we'll be spoilt for choice this year, with '60s style peacoat, cocoon, duster and midi crombie styles leading the way when it comes to outerwear, alongside faux fur in '70s boho and ladylike collarless cuts.
Meanwhile, shoes and bags are achingly stylish without, refreshingly, scrimping on practicality - the winged dogtooth tote, chunky-heeled grey snakeskin and fluoro yellow T-bars, floral flats and cream toecap brogues are going straight to the top of my new season wish list, alongside the yellow pea jacket, pink midi crombie, fluffy blue boyfriend coat...
