Navy Princess Coat from Miss Selfridge
While most of us are still getting the best out of our Summer wardrobes, the first of Autumn's fare is moving into shops across the high street. This Navy Princess Coat from Miss Selfridge has an irresistible vintage feel that could even manage to make us look forward to September's weather.

The tapered, sloping sides add a sixties look to the classic satchel, creating a shape that has all the sharp and angular appeal of the decade's aesthetic. The use of mustard and rich brown faux leather together adds to the impact of a design that's instantly recognisable as a nod to timeless vintage looks.

With a cute combination of peter pan collar and skinny pussy bow fastening, the button up blouse is given even more retro flair thanks to its colour combination. The use of a rich ivory shade, contrasted by true black, creates a structural sixties look that is versatile and timeless.
