I feel as though everyone I know is now suddenly ready for the Autumn. Everyone is content that we’ve “had a good summer”, even though it’s still August, and they’re posting pictures of turning leaves and cosy scarves and talking about where they’re spending Christmas.
I can never have enough summer, but I have to say that the sudden cooling of temperatures has had me digging about for cardigans and slightly more robust dresses. And so the Autumn collection from one of my favourite fashion brands, Hush, couldn’t have dropped at a better time.
Hush Autumn Collection*

The whole collection is so sexily rock ‘n’ roll with its glitzy stars and bright faux fur and flashes of leg that it makes me yearn for a chilly night out; red wine and a hot dinner, a walk home in the dark with the smell of bonfire in my hair. Yes, it may be currently just a little too warm for full-on knitwear, and yes my new obsession with a certain red faux-fur jacket might be ever so slightly seasonally premature, but in this slide towards Autumn it’s important – crucial, some might say – to have a variety of layering options.

Take, for example, the Keris Cardi*, which can be nonchalantly thrown over the top of a dress, the more causally the better. It’s not too heavy for a summer evening, but woolly enough to keep you toasty through the winter when you’re layered up with vest, dress and coat.

Talking of dresses; there...
