The Lust List...

Anyone who says they're bored of stripes has obviously not seen the latest offering from River Island.

This chunky knit jumper is the perfect tran-seasonal piece. Wear with slim jeans and brown knee high boots now, and navy tailored trousers and leather brogues come spring.

River Island, £34.99

Everybody's wearing... Knee high socks

Over dinner last week a friend gushed about her latest purchase - I was expecting something extravagant, a fierce pair of peep toe boots or a luscious cable-knit jumper, instead I was presented with a pair of knee high socks.

Usually a humble and hidden accessory, socks are coming into their own this season. Dare to bare your legs, teaming yours with a jumper dress, leather bomber and shoeboots; for those a little less brave, wear socks over tights or leggings and a loose fitting floaty mini.

A Great Spectacle!

With the weather getting wetter and colder, and the nights getting darker earlier, this cute little jumper is the perfect buy to cheer ourselves up. The burnt orange colour will look great against pale winter skin, and the soft cashmere material is bound to keep us cosy. Plus, the cheeky and fun spectacle print makes it perfect for the office or casual sunday afternoons. £95, Whistles
