Tops

Colour flashing is going to be huge this season. More subtle than blocking, the flash puts just a hint of colour into an outfit, giving it some edge. I really like this fun top from Debenhams – it reminds me a little of the DKNY maxi that Olivia Palermo wore recently.

I really like this unusual vest. The long length means that you can get away with teaming this with leggings and heels. The shape is flattering – tight at the top but expanding lower down to accommodate hips and tummy without highlighting anything you may want to hide.

A huge trend for Autumn/Winter ’11 is extreme feminine – think ballerinas, fairies, princesses. The great thing about this top is that not only does this hit that trend, but it is so classic and simple that it can become a timeless staple in your wardrobe.

A gorgeous loose fitting blouse in the seasons must-have colour – mustard-yellow. This top is made in the smoothest silk and would look fantastic with jeans or black trousers.

This very pretty navy, white and brown abstract patterned top is a highlight of Boden’s current collection and really embodies the trend for interesting patterns that we’ve seen on the runway recently.

This very cute top is so much more than something Disney inspired. The figure skimming cut will draw attention to your best features, the zip up back makes for a more tailored approach, and the all-over polka-dot fits perfectly into one of this seasons biggest trends.
