Now that the high street summer sales all seem to be in full swing, July is a great time to start spotting some of the early new season pieces hitting stores ready for AW12. And with the weather still making it's mind up about whether it wants to rain or be gloriously sunny, we can start investing in some upcoming season pieces right now! So step away from the bright floral maxi dress at half price because, let's face it, when will you be getting the chance to wear it? And try some brand new, weather-safe options on for size instead!
My favourite high street brand Warehouse have had their Autumn collection drops coming in to stores fast and so why not feast your eyes on these wardrobe must-haves?! New trend for Warehouse 'Sofia' sees playful printed tailored pieces matched with jacquard city shorts, giving a whole new meaning to the term 'city ready'! Totally inspired by the effortlessly cool Chloe Sevigny, think simple tailoring paired with boyfriend-fit shirts and over sized blouses. With a major focus in the collection surrounding the staple Mac coat, you will be rain proof for now and winter ready come Autumn all thanks to Warehouse!
So what are you waiting for? See my inspirational picks below to give you that AW12 Sevigny style that we're all dying to have!

| Travel in style with city shorts and a blazer... |
Wondering how you're going to be travelling around London during the Olympics? As well as taking style tips from Chloe Sevigny, why not take travel tips too?! Proving that bikes aren't just for those sporting the luminous jacket ensemble, Chloe looks uber sophisticated in tailored city shorts and lightweight blouse! I adore a similar look from Warehouse - just add a matching blazer to complete your look on those cooler mornings on route to work!

| Monochrome will be everywhere this AW12... |
How sexy is this monochromatic styling? Ms Sevigny keeps it simple (black and white actually...!) by using a statement blouse combined with her tailored trousers. You can get an almost identical look with Warehouse - I love the pussy bow blouse!
