I have always enjoyed fashion; for most of my 61 years, I have been in the clothing trade and 26 + of those with Caroline Eve, and I can honestly say that some new season's fashions arrive and you can get you all excited, and some simply just pass by. It is often the winter season that is harder to get excited about, as it so often lacks newness, colour, or vibrancy. However, this new season's fashions have a lot happening. Whether it’s the new colours, the gorgeous prints to choose from, or the lovely new feminine-looking styles, there is plenty to look forward to.

I have already started putting my new autumn wardrobe together. It began with a purchase of one new item, which led me to go through my wardrobe to work out a ‘plan of attack’, so to speak! I’m looking at what is still good, and what isn’t, finding fresh ways to style items I already own and deciding what I could add to bring everything up to date. Some items you can certainly keep, but you can often wear them in a completely new way or combine with a new fashion colour to give them a new lease on life.
