Courtesy Vogue we have a sneak preview of the newest highstreet collaboration, Alexander Wang for H&M. As always with Wang, colour is non-existent, everything is super-sporty, in hues of black, white and grey.
Lots of pieces look like they have been pulled directly from Wang’s past collections, like the classic white dress or the hooded black coat, which resembles a pre-Autumn 2014 look. The line is scheduled to hit stores on November 6th…. I cannot wait.

Whistles always used to be one of my favourite highstreet stores with a range of sophisticated but wearable clothes and accessories. But over the last year I haven’t been inspired by the collections of mediocre patterns garments and unexciting jewellery. I’m glad to say my confidence has been restored this winter with a wave of new chic clothes and wonderfully simple but stylish bags and shoes. The prices have risen slightly but this can be noticed on the pricetags of nearly every highlight brand.
My highlights this season? The perfectly cool, French inspired ‘Comme Ci Comme Ca’ jersey sweatshirt, grey with bold navy print across the front. A seriously comfortable, effortless item for any occasion… better worn baggy. I also love the classic clutches that feature every season in a variety of hues. The Rivington Clutch in the large size is my particular favourite. For a more personal touch visit Dover Street Market or St Christopher’s Place shop where they will monogram your initials for you.

Zara’s new knitwear collection is making me detest winter 2013 just a little bit less. The varied range of jumpers and cardigans offer some stylish and affordable options for the colder months.
I originally noticed the Zara monochrome embroidered heart sweater in French Vogue, a rare highstreet appearance in this high fashion magazine. The heart emblem immediately caught my eye and I put it on my wishlist the moment I read in disbelief that it was from Zara. Simple but classic, it definitely looked more like a Prada or Burberry piece (they use the heart symbol throughout their Winter collection).
Wearable and warm it is the ideal jumper to take you from day to night, perfect with a high-waisted skirt or smock style dress. Priced at £35.99 it won’t break the bank like the designer alternatives.
