SILVER SANDALS

Silver, gold and sparkle were afoot at my favourite Autumn/Winter 2014 catwalks, Saint Laurent and Dolce and Gabbana.  As soon as I saw these little flat, silver leather sandals at Topshop, I thought they would be a good idea.

They add an easy glamour to a lace shift dress.


Meanwhile, I'm still looking for that perfect pair of black, pointed-toe, flats!

BLACK OPAQUE TIGHTS

At the Saint Laurent Autumn/Winter 2014 show, mini-skirted models wore thick, black opaque tights.  I think this is an ideal way to wear this Autumn's shorter skirts, especially for those who are hesitant about showing more leg.

H&M do a  good selection of opaque tights and my two favourite pairs have the added benefit of being control tights, which help to give a firm, trim silhouette. 

The first pair, in the photograph below, H&M 100 Den Matte Black Control Tights are very thick and matte.

For a finer, lighter weight option but still opaque and matte, I like these H&M Black Control Tights Tummy & Thigh Hold 50 Den below:

Now it's time to buy a pair of new shoes!

LITTLE BLACK SKIRT

So here is my first new piece for Autumn 2014



a black, imitation leather, mini-skirt with zips on faux pockets, from the H&M Divided range.  The material is soft and looks like leather.

A little skirt seems to be the new season's must-have. French Vogue suggested that the "little black skirt" is Autumn's version of the "little black dress".

As my new skirt sits low on the waist and I am petite, it isn't so very short on me, about 2 ½" above the knee.

I will wear it with black opaque tights (very Saint Laurent A/W 2014/2015) and pointed toe shoes, either flat or with low kitten heels.

I'll keep the look chic and sophisticated by teaming the skirt  simply with a little black jumper.
