LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

This gorrrrgeous cape with leather collar (very edgy and so Autumn/Winter 12), is possibly the most lust-worthy coat we've seen in years. And for anyone who may think a cape style isn't warm, this one's made from 95% wool and comes from the brand 2nd Day by Birger et Mikkelsen. It was a rather hefty £295, but is now on sale at Stanwells for £147.50.

Weekend Wear

TV stylist Natasha Dugarin gives us some top tips on what to wear this weekend. Natasha, who's worked on shows like Gok's Fashion Fix, says: "Every season, there's a new 'hero' piece, and for winter 2012, it's set to be the 'trophy' jumper.

"So why not invest in a toasty knit, like this one from Maison Scotch from bod & ted to keep you warm this winter. Pair with jeans and flats for a casual weekend look"
