Boden and Topshop

BODEN

Is 30% off everything from TODAY, link here.

This silk shirt looks very handy

These over-the-knee boots look so brilliant on, if a bit weird in the picture – my friend Irish Mary has some and they look ace

I know how much you like a flat shoe and these silver brogues look super

And these white trainers with a flash of leopard print are a modern classic

For gifts – this navy cashmere hoody is nice for a husband who feels the cold (they don’t all)

Every man needs a half-zip in his life for weekend moments

TOPSHOP

I *think* there will be 50% off everything from Wednesday – Friday, which is a pretty big deal and it will be a scrum, so sign in and put anything you want in your basket in good time.

Get some black pointy boots if you haven’t already – it’s a quick way to modernise all your outfits. A classic round-toed black ankle boot is still lovely, but these are a bit more now.

Chunky, colourful knitwear is also something to look out for – this blue sweater looks much more expensive than it is – this charcoal sweater is the sort of thing fashion editors wear with black skinny jeans and white trainers and about a million silver earrings.

You could pick up this now rather famous star-print maxi skirt for a song and have it adjusted by a tailor if you are not a size 14.

If you’ve been dithering over a short faux fur coat, now’s as good a time as any to have a go at it. (You can send it back)

That’s all for now. More as I have it. DON’T BUY IT YET.

      Agreed. How many a days a year would you actually wear them? One of those things I’d buy and then just look at and not actually wear

    Boden’s cashmere crew necks are great quality and value if you can get them at 30% off. I’ve also put the black silk shirt in my basket as I’d already asked the husband for one for Christmas. Shopping for yourself is THE best
