This is a quick look at some of the mid-range instore collections for Autumn/Winter 2008 regarding the current trend - heritage.
I looked at House of Fraser and Urban Outfitters, both renowned for high quality clothing at wallet-friendly prices.
My hunt was well rewarded, with some gorgeous warm knits and heavy tweeds from Max Mara, Lux and Firetrap and interesting jewelery from Tarina Tarantino, D&G etc.
I'm particulary loving the "snood" at Urban Outfitters. It's aim is to cover your neck, head, whatever - all with a handy drawstring. AND it's mohair. AND it's only £24. Loooovely!
The stuff here is lovely, and whoever said you need designer for comfort and quality clearly hadn't popped in for a nosy at instore collections! These days, it's almost as chic to be affordable than it is to be unaffordable (look at Jasper Conran, Betty Jackson, John Rocha!)
Heritage '08 is slowly upcoming, and is just about ready to burst onto the fashion scene. It's all about being cosy, comfy and uber-confident this Fall!
I'll be posting my favorite high street picks later this week.
