A midi moment

What better way to see in the Autumn with a midi dress. The below the knee length is just what the weather man ordered for this time of year. Long enough to save embarrassment if the heavens suddenly open up and short enough to ensure you don't look a fool in twenty plus degree heat.

These are just some of my favourites on the high street...

Midi shirt dress £46 Topshop

Orange midi dress £40 Topshop

Vera Moda deco oriental 40s shirt dress £30 ASOS

Quirky festival purses

These animal coin purses, £15 each, from River Island have brightened up my morning. Perfect for standing out in the crowd, they would be ideal for the festival season.

Begging for dalmatian print

Topshop's dalmatian print, that featured largely in their Autumn/Winter 11 collection at London Fashion Week, has finally started to hit stores. Yes, there is a God, and in the fashion world (high street) his name is Sir Philip Green.

Contrast dalmatian swing coat £98

Madison dalmatian loafers £32

Animal print beaded star tee £32

I wonder if head to toe dalmatian would be considered as taking my love of dogs and all things mutt too far, mmmm.

Get into the groove-Creepers

This Autumn/Winter the creeper is the only shoe to be seen in. In line with the season's seventies trend, these shoes add vital inches and are perfect for petite fashionistas. On trend, and added height, they tick my boxes.
