This weeks Zara edit is full of standout pieces. This beautiful coat is a showstopper. Perfect with jeans for a relaxed day look - or pair with leather trousers or a satin skirt for an evening outfit. This embroidered top has incredible detailing the volume sleeves the frog fastening and the slightly high neck line with the peplum are all the things we’re looking for this season and this is under £30. These jeans are also under £30 and a fabulously flattering shape. They come in five washes and work with all of your autumn footwear choices. Next it’s this Short trench these are the light layer that works for day into evening, casual or smart. It looks more Massimo Dutti than it does Zara and is incredibly chic. And I had to include these cargos. The shape and the colour is so good and they have a fastening at the hem so you can adjust the shape. LTKautumn LTKstyletip LTKover50style

One of those days when you love your outfit. Fab barrel jeans, a favourite knit and gorgeous accessories coming together really well.

I’m loving grey and burgundy as a colour combo. These jeans are my second pair in this style. They’re such a good shape and can be worn cropped or long.

My denim is featuring more as we venture into autumn. This classic straight blue jean from Zara is a great wardrobe staple and the length will work well with boots as it cools down.

Light knits and jackets are in full force while it’s still warm.
This trench is a fabulous style, reversible and classic.
