I know it's pushing 30℃ this week but as any self-respecting fashion fan knows, now is the time to start thinking about your Autumn/Winter wardrobe. The September issues will be plopping on to doormats next week, the first of the new season previews are starting to sneak into shops and, though it sounds barmy, it's always a good idea to get the key pieces as soon as they arrive to avoid disappointment.
First on my shopping list (who am I kidding, already in my basket...) is Marks and Spencer's Autograph leopard ponyskin and black leather cross body bag. Just big enough for day use, handily hands-free, it's literally been screaming my name since I first encountered its beauty in the AW13 Look Book. It will be mine.
