It’s officially fashion month and the runways are dripping with gorgeous new looks that many of us cannot wait to try. That’s why it couldn’t seem more appropriate to start looking at some of the must-haves for autumn fashion that will be the biggest trends of the season. Although fashion houses are showing their spring/summer collections on the catwalks this month, that doesn’t mean we can’t take a few cues from the trends and find some of the most covetable styles for the autumn season.

The key to finding out the hottest trends is to combine the autumn/winter looks shown this past spring and seeing what the designers are up to currently. If you’re wondering how to make your fall fashion wardrobe even more fabulous this season, take a look at some of the autumn must-haves below that are sure to give you lots of style points!

1. Romantic Florals

If you thought that flower prints were reserved only for spring and summer, you are kindly mistaken. Designers have found a way to make florals work for fall, and they are gorgeous! To make florals autumn-appropriate, look for romantic rose prints on flowing maxi dresses with sleeves. There are some lovely examples here that incorporate florals for fall with lots of style personalities in mind.

2. Patchwork Denim

Denim is getting a little more grungy these days, and it’s thankfully quite versatile for all the fall tops you have planned. Patchwork and reconstructed jeans will be everywhere this season, so don’t miss out on getting your own pair of throwback denim. The more mismatched the washes and patches, the more stylish you are! Don’t be afraid to go outside the box on this one.

Today, after a busy week at work I’ve decided to try the peel off face mask that’s been in my bathroom cupboard for over a year…

I got it last summer after my visit to The Grand Hotel Spa in Brighton, where they have Natural Spa Factory products. I’ve never heard of this brand before but I must say that I like the fact that all their products are made with botanically resourced ingredients, without parabens, SLS and any dodgy ingredients. It’s all natural and I love that!

This bilberry & chamomile peel off mask has healthy-aging properties, which comes from the bilberry as well as a smoothing effect from the chamomile. It also contains marine algae, which has moisturising, healing and strengthening properties that give the skin antioxidant protection.

Each pack contains around 2 treatments and it’s specifically designed for sensitive skin.

How to use it? 

1. Mix half of the package (around 15g of powder) with 45ml of water
2. Stir with a spatula for 1 min to get a smooth paste
3. Apply immediately avoiding the eyes and eyebrows. If you don’t apply it immediately the mix will turn into jelly and you won’t be able to use it – trust me when I say this as it happened to me!
4. Leave the mask for 10-15 minutes to obtain best results.
