September is upon us, the weather is getting colder (and wetter!), and although this would normally upset me as I am a summer baby, I’m actually more and more excited about the trends this season!
This season’s catwalks have been full of amazing looks which have REALLY inspired me. However, I can’t afford high-end couture, so here is my look at the catwalks, and my high-street interpretation.
Trend 1 – Capes
The cape was seen everywhere at Autumn/Winter 2010 shows! It was styled in several ways too. Many were short, informal and cute; others long, formal and graceful.
L-R: Hussein Chalayan; Alberta Ferretti; Aquascutum; Matthew Williamson; Rag & Bone; Alexander Wang
Key features to look for in capes: Military additions, furry collars, or even the whole cape! (fake of course). Top tips - keep your trousers tight, or buy a belted cape to avoid looking like a big blob!
Top Row L-R: ASOS Hooded Military Cape - £70 ASOS; Checked cape - £195 Urban Outfitters; Grey high-neck cape - £150 French Connection;
Bottom Row L-R: Fleece cape - £54 American Apparel; Tie Waist Cape - £95 ASOS; French Connection Hooded Cape - £160 French Connection
Trend 2 – Camel coats
These neutral coloured jackets are classic and completely timeless. First check if any relations have any in the attic and try to pinch them, otherwise get one! The colour will go with any outfit to give it a smart but stylish edge. Perfect to last you a few years.
The catwalks featured really interesting shapes, maxi-coats and elegant details to bring the look up-to-date. Keep an eye out for belts, military detailing and frills.
From Left to Right: Oversize camel jacket - £150 at Topshop; Twiggy Cocoon Coat - £89 at Very.co.uk; South Maxi Coat - £79 at Very; Duffle coat - £50 from Debenhams
Trend 3 – Kilts
Surprisingly, kilts are going to be really big news this Autumn! Wear them during the Autumn with bare legs and cute cardigans, and then in the winter with opaque tights and knee boots.

Trend 4 – Shearling, leather jackets
These leather jackets with a furry trim are perfect for the Autumn - they look tough over feminine dresses and cosy on more rainy days!

Bottom Row L-R: Long-line brown jacket - £89 from Very; Black synthetic bomber - £49.99 from Uniqlo; Brown aviator jacket - £120 from ASOS

Wedges are back! Thank god! I love wedges - so comfortable, stylish and amazing! Love them!
Here's my favourite from the high street
Top Row L-R: Brown canvas wedge boots - £35 from Miss Selfridge; Carvela lace up boots - £150 ASOS; Lace up shoe boots - £25 from New Look;
Bottom Row L-R: Wedge open toe boots - £80 from Topshop; Slouch boots - £25 from New Look; Dune knee high wedge boots - £155 from John Lewis

Trend 6 – Bold, bright colours
Bright colours are perfect for the Autumn - they brighten up your day, make you look forwards to leaving the house and make rainy weather less horrible!
Clockwise from top left: Dior; Dior; Givenchy; Dior; Giles; Dior
Top Row L-R: ASOS Twisted Slinky One Shoulder Dress - £42; Ted Baker Pleated Bust Maxi Dress - £105; AWear Ruffle Front Playsuit - £27; Mango Bright Belted Funnel Neck Coat - £130; ASOS Tailored Pleat Waist Tulip Dress - £36; Oli Floral Slinky Maxi Dress - £30;

Finally, curves have been spotted on the runway! This look is all about celebrating a female shape. Long skirts, cinched in waists and bustiers hark back to the days of fifties feminine elegance. Think Mad Men!
It's so exciting to see "normal sized" models on the catwalk! - Louis Vuitton; Prada; Bottega Veneta; Louis Vuitton; Dries Van Noten; Dries Van Noten
And here is a high-street interpretation:
From L-R: Stud Tie Waist Dress by Rare** - £51; Holly Willoughby Tie Waist Dress - £49; Floral Printed A-Line Dress - £45; Oasis Rose Bud Print Dress, Black/red - £65; Bustier- Womens Clothing - French Connection - £45; Black shirt dress - £35
Hope you have enjoyed my reworking of the Autumn 2010 catwalk shows!
