Style: Best of Autumn/Winter 2012

It's coming up to that time of year when I start fantasising about next season's wardrobe. I always get most excited about autumn/winter which generally means gorgeous tailoring, luxe layers, and happily for me, monochrome is everywhere. Here are a few of my favourite looks from the shows.

Slouchy cream sweater and embellished trousers from Balmain

I love this Burberry Prorsum quilted velvet coat, and the boots are to die for

Celine's winter white cocoon coat is my idea of heaven (and I could even be tempted to a bit of colour with the blue scarf!)

Beautifully elegant pencil dress from Erdem. Wouldn't be surprised to see the former Ms Middleton rocking this one at some point

Dear High Street: please do capes again this season. I'm still kicking myself for missing the Zara beauties last time around. This one's by Gucci

You can tell a Lanvin show just by the lighting. Love this futuristic 50s look

Theysken's Theory: one of my favourite labels. Only he could make a double breasted coat and sheer black tights so covetable

Theory again: love this skirt

More Theory. Drop the hem on these shorts slightly and I'm there. Adore this look with the gloves

Valentino went crazy for leather this season. Again, I'm hoping the high street picks up on the capes!

Victoria Beckham. Just look at that belt. So perfect

VB again. I'd do bad things to have this dress in my wardrobe!
