Earlier this year I told you how much I was loving my new spring wardrobe from Boden, so I was thrilled when they invited me to choose some items from their Autumn/Winter collection.
A big trend this season is ‘ladylike’ – I’m guessing it’s the Mad Men influence. So here’s what I went for when I as choosing my own ladylike capsule collection:
Lou Lou dress in navy (£69). This is made from Ponte de Roma, which is basically a stretchy knit, ideal for travelling because it doesn’t crease. The dress is waisted with a full skirt, and it’s incredibly flattering.
Fab felt hat (£39). Oh I love this so much – it’s very Annie Hall/Sienna Miller, depending how you’re feeling. The blackberry colour looks gorgeous with the orange band.
Trapeze jacket (£169). I’ve always loved the shape of capes but for some reason they seem to envelop me and I get a bit lost in them. This has more structure and the bracelet-length sleeves make it ideal for throwing it on over a jumper. LOVE.
All items available from Boden.
DISCLAIMER: The women in these photos are not actually me, nor do they bear a resemblance to me. But most of the clothes they’re wearing are indeed the ones I’ve been sent. It was my make-up artist’s day off *cough*.
I need some new clothes. I haven’t even looked at anything newyet this season but now I’m thinking about it and so will no doubt buy something…. If I get told off I will blame you Liz!
Love the jacket, very stylish
All so lovely! The Boden collection is so strong this season isn’t it? So many lovely pieces to choose from. Love your blog!
Love the dress and the hat. I am thinking of getting a hat like that but always feel a bit self conscious in millinery.
I am a big time cape wearer – love them – they always look extra gorgeous with a brooch (also very ladylike).
Enjoy wearing them . (Style Guile is also showing off some of her Boden wears today too!)

Love your choices Liz – especially the dress and hat! I think the Boden for AW12 has been superb and am still in love with my Breton from spring. xx
