Oh hey September, how you doin'? Three guesses who's been watching Friends re-runs on Comedy Central? September may have arrived quicker than anyone could have ever anticipated but I'm certainly not complaining, so far the ninth month of the year has brought nothing but goodness - I don't know whether it's planning a wedding or being a new mum to Sadie Florence but right now things seem to be coming up roses, except for my washing machine but hey you can't have it all.

With Summer feeling like a distant memory I've started to plan (and buy) my Autumnal wardrobe, concentrating on key pieces to make those all important interchangeable looks for running about town. One staple I can't get enough of when knitwear season comes to town is coats. I love how you can be wearing the most simple of outfits yet things go up a notch by adding a coat - suddenly a look can appear polished, textural and pulled together. Coats are the Autumn Winter game changer. I use this sentiment to justify a new coat every year and 2015 is no exception so say hello to my latest addition from Boohoo. Yes this baby isn't a Barbour and comes in at just £50, a serious steal for a waxed jacket which is perfect for the British weather and those mischievous downpours. I've paired this subtly checked baby with its huge-store-everything pockets with a 70s inspired denim shirt and black skinny jean combo for a day of running errands but I can already envisage it over a snuggly, oversized knitted jumper dress and thick black opaques. Hot chocolate in hand and leaf kicking optional. Autumn, I'm ready for you.


What's your can't live without pick for the new season? Do you love waxed jackets?
