This two-toned pullover has polka dots in different sizes that are spaced in an interesting way. It offers a fitted, playful silhouette in a soft knit with extended ribbing at the cuffs and hems. This could be just the item to cheer you up on a gloomy, grey day. Note that the sweater is not available in brick-and-mortar stores, but check out the many excellent comments online.

Faux fur is still on trend and here’s a fun item in plum. This cropped jacket with a shawl collar has a delicious retro vibe. I adore the three-quarter sleeves, and the gorgeous plum colour is rich and theatrical. The plush fabric will add textural interest. Wear this fab little number to glam up an evening ensemble or to add some playful elegance to your daytime looks. Unexpected and chic.

I bought this lightweight wool pullover in three colours because I crave very crisp, non-itchy, dressy, well-made knitwear in fun brights. I love the back button detailing, the high neckline, and that they are warm without adding bulk. Beautiful worn on their own, or with a scarf, or as a layering piece.

As I write the yellow and camel colourway are on sale for $46.90, the coral and black for $78.90.

A fab variation on the colourblocking trend, here the sleeves provide the contrast colour. The tiny houndstooth pattern makes this fully lined one-button blazer even more attractive. It comes with a notched collar, front flap pockets and vertical seaming for a tailored fit. Easy to dress up or down, wear it with jeans, pencil skirts, sheath dresses, slouchy or fitted trousers… It might run a size big.

I am not a wide leg trouser gal but these changed my mind. These tailored trousers in a bird’s-eye weave are lined to the knee and very cosy. They have a good length, beautiful drape, a countoured waistband and sleek welt pockets for smooth layering. I love how they swish in a non-fussy way when you stride.

It’s not often that we see a coat in this fantastic colour and length! It is fully lined, has side-seam pockets and comes with a single burnished-metal button that closes the cutaway front. Runs a little snug on the arms so you might need to size up. Dramatic and elegant.

A chic belted jacket for walks in the park or to run errands in town. It is partially lined, water resistant and has fab gold hardware and a broad wing collar. The belt is removable and the knit inset on the sleeves gives you extra freedom of movement, perfect for the active lass on the go.

A three-quarter sleeved, feminine tee that is ideal for ladies with shorter necks. It has a silky feel, and the length allows you to scrunch the sides so that it does not cling. This is a super casual layering piece and brilliant pattern mixing tool. The tee is also available in four neutral solids, but the micro stripe has more personality. You might need to size up.

These five-pocket style skinnies offer a flattering, sleek fit. The Graceful Wash is a fab grey colour, and the rise is pretty substantial. They are a good length on regular height lasses and great on petites. You may need to size down.

A comfortable one-button blazer that is great for casual settings. This knitted number is lined, has stay-in-place scrunched sleeves and a fun back-pleated detail. The curved hemline is flattering. For the most part it fits true to size. Surprisingly, the regular size works quite well on petites. It’s available online in charcoal and black.
