{In partnership with Debenhams}
One of the last styling jobs I ever did was with Debenhams, it was such a lovely team and such a pleasure to really delve into their collections. It really is one of those one-stop stores you can find something for everyone in and this season Debenhams have asked me to pick my favourite pieces that I believe will have longevity in your wardrobe.
1. First up, the classic borg jacket, I’m always on the look out for an easy jacket to throw on with kids but still feels chic. This ticks all the boxes, plus it has useful size pockets!

Jacket: £76.30, Debenhams
2.Ballet flats and Mary-Janes are set to be the shoe of the season, now you may think silver is a bit of an out there choice but in fact, my silver shoes are my most worn in my wardrobe. They add a flash of excitement to an outfit, a lot like leopard print, and will bring something unexpected to a simple look of jeans, tee and blazer (or a leather jacket).
3. And speaking of leather jackets, I’m really championing a biker jacket at the moment. I think it’s time for the crisp jacket and jeans look to come back and a good quality leather jacket will fare you well for years. This leather biker is really great value and will last and last:
4. A denim midi skirt was around last season but I think will really come into its own with knitwear and trainers for Autumn. This raw edge one in a classic wash looks great with a loosely buttoned oversized shirt too to play on proportions:

5. And the trainers to go for? I love a splash of red with any outfit and the retro look of these trainers will work with dresses, midi skirts and jeans alike. I had a pair of these at uni and really tempted to revisit (but I probably won’t be wearing mine with low slung Miss Sixty jeans this time!).
