Add to Shopping Bag: French Connection Metallic Cardigan

Genuinely don't know why Goddess Angelina of Jolie didn't snap this badboy up when she hit French Connection yesterday - I'm in love! A knit cardigan can scream granny chic, but this cardi is far from it. Don't think it would be out of place on a certain Cheryl Cole or on a Gossip Girl set…navy is the new black and this beauty can go with virtually anything. 

Slip a bright tunic underneath to make good use of those good old summer staples that saw you through the last few months. No need to give up the colour just because September is here, or wear with muted autumnal shades as demonstrated above - take your pick, your options are endless! 

French Connection; £115 

Angelina Jolie Splashes Out in London's French Connection

Love a good press release - We bet French Connection feel the same way Warehouse did when a certain Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, popped into their store to pick up some fab honeymoon outfits earlier this year. 

Kate may be royalty, but Angelina is Hollywood royalty - no wonder FC can't wait to gloat about one of their most famous customers. Looks like Ange has great taste too - a midi skirt has never been more stylish and mustard is one of our favourite shades this season - perfect for slipping into autumn/winter wardrobes.

Totally addicted to Lace

We can't help but get into spring/summer mode now that we've had a few days of sunshine. 

One of the key lessons we learnt from last season's catwalks was that lace is hot property, and it's no longer a material reserved for oaps and curtains. 

A fair few celebs have also emerged onto the red carpets and vip clubs in lace too, so we know it's a hot trend. 

Here are some of our favourite pieces:
