October 31: Oasis fit and flare dress
\r\n
Oasis is celebrating its 20th birthday this year, and in honour of the occasion, they’ve really upped their game – making them the go-to destination for party dresses this season. This skater dress ticks a few boxes – it’s an LBD, it’s got that sweet A-line shape, and it’s got that party pizzazz with the stripes. Basically, it’s perfect for many an occasion.

Tatty Devine Batmosphere Mini Necklace halloween jewellery
Eeek! It’s nearly Halloween, time to dress up in spooky style. Tatty Devine are on the case with this mini bat necklace, based on the latest print from Eley Kishimoto. This particular nocturnal necklace is based on a print called Batmosphere and includes a perspex Eley Kishimoto logo tag at the clasp, but we just love it because it’s just spook-tacular.

New Look has just launched a range of vintage-inspired premium handbags and this boxy little satchel is our absolute favourite. The autumnal colour palette (check out that pumpkin orange!) and push-clasp fastening make this neat little bag a winner for everyday wear. They’ll be launching more designs in the run up to Christmas, including evening clutches which we suspect will complete our party outfits effortlessly.

12 October: Jaeger Boutique Valentine pink cocoon coat, £399
\r\n
There’s something rather fabulously Jackie O about this hot pink ‘Valentine’ coat from Jaeger Boutique. The retro curves of the cocoon shape and the little gold popper fastening make it ever so prim and proper – just like the former First Lady – but that cheery lipstick pink shade screams ‘look at me!’ And if that doesn’t brighten up a wet winter’s morning, we don’t know what will.

We love it when celebrities wear the best of the great British high street to red carpet events and Glee’s Jayma Mays did just that at a Hollywood premiere this week. She wore this horse print sweater from Asos with an equally equestrian tweed blazer and a chic little mini skirt. If you were one of those little girls who dreamed of owning a pony, this is a must-have.

The \'70s are ever-present in fashion at the moment, and especially camel tones and A-line shapes. That\'s why we love this Austin skirt from Hobbs. Part of a skirt suit, it\'s delightfully chic, and very easy to wear. With its big faux-horn buttons and soft wool texture, it\'s both luxe and simple. Wear with the matching jacket or go wild and mix it up with something else.
