Even though the Spring shows are currently happening, I can't get my head to stay there. When the leaves are changing, and the air is bracing, I want to think about layering up - the boots, the hats, the wooly socks...
I have to admit, I never expected that I'd fancy Victoria Beckham's designs... Victoria herself often looks a bit too severe for my personal taste. But I want to wear literally every single piece in her Autumn/Winter 2012 RTW collection! Which is not something I'd say lightly...

It's just a brilliant little capsule collection of dresses and coats, with beautiful finishes and accessories.

From the dresses, to the coats, to the clean, rich-looking leather accessories, it's all timeless and really wearable.

The tailoring is razor-sharp, and every detail about the cut-outs and colour-blocking is designed to flatter.

The well-considered embellishments - exposed zippers, brass buttons, flap pockets, and epaulets are military inspired, but not in a costumey way. Just enough to provide the perfect masculine/feminine tension. Everything's streamlined and chic.

And I adore the slouchy layered socks with the boots, which is something I already do anyway.

I am one smitten kitten. If she keeps this up, she'll be joining the Michael Kors and Christopher Bailey (masters of classic, wearable luxe) club.

This is why Fall fashion is my favorite...
