My Top 4 Autumn Staples

Even though I tend to buy lots of clothes *I can't help it a) I'm a girl and b) I work in fashion!* I always find that season by season there are a few key things that are absoltely staple in my wardrobe that I wear the whole time, that go with every outfit, that I basically use everyday. Other things come and go but these will last me without fail, and I'm starting to find that I use them year after year as well. I never was really into the 'investment' buy, as mostly I never had the money to spend anyway, but as I have been working for a few years now I've started to realise that spending that little bit more on things can actually pay off as the quality means that the pieces will last a long time if you take care of them properly. So I thought I would show you the pieces that I will be wearing week after week this Autumn Winter.

This season I have splurged on something I have wanted since February - when I saw the Burberry models strutting their stuff down the runway in all manner of shearling and aviator pieces. I remember posting on my Facebook a letter to Santa requesting a Burberry aviator jacket well in advance. *Sadly* Santa told me it probably wouldn't be possible, especially when he found out they were over £2k a pop! I knew the high street would be swarming with their own interpretations, so I took my time and did a lot of research. I wasn't sure whether to opt for a cheaper synthetic version, or splash out on a leather or sheepskin one. I decided that as I had been lusting over this piece for well over 6 months and it was the only thing that I really wanted, I would splash, and when I saw my jacket in Topshop about a month ago, it truly was love at first sight (even if my credit card silently squealed as I handed it over to the cashier). Its a sheepskin beauty with a dark/grey collar and it truly makes me happy just seeing it hanging up in my wardrobe (its the little things in life).

My beloved Kurt Geiger biker boots were a splurge last autumn, I saw them featured in an editorial in Glamour magazine, and they are so comfortable, and look equally good with jeans and a tee, or to toughen up a girly dress. I honestly wouldn't be without them now, have had to get them reheeled and the soles stuck down a few times because I wear them so much!

My number 1 love of my wardrobe is my All Saints leather jacket. This baby has been worn almost every day of my life since we met that fateful day in All Saints Westfield in the summer of 2009. My darling coat gets softer and softer every month and truly goes with any and every outfit I wear. The lining in the sleeves has started to fall apart so I need to give some much needed TLC!

My bag of AW (probably subject to change here and there if I am honest) is my Coco bag by Alexander Wang. Depsite being a little bit of a weighty lady (those studs are NOT light!) she does the business no problem, and perfectly compliments my boots and jackets. I love her!!

With these pieces I really do structure all my outfits around them as they go with my girly dresses, and also with leggins/jeans and tees...basically all I wear!

Do you have any staples that last you season to season?
