Today I wore my bright orange Uniqlo cashmere jumper and teamed it with my MiH dark blue jeans, as I love the colour combination, added my Next Leopard print ankle boots for interest, Mango beige flowy trench and Tan Coccinelle round leather cross body bag, all old. Even though I've had my round bag for a while I'm glad they're now on trend as it gives the look a little modernity!

For basic cashmere that's great value for money I'd always go to Uniqlo, H&M Premium or John Lewis. I also noticed today that M&S have upped the ante on their Autograph cashmere range with a star print jumper, see below.

However if you want cashmere with added interest then go to Wyse London, Cocoa Cashmere or Chinti & Parker. For todays outfit builder I chose the Clara cuff cashmere sweatshirt from Wyse London but I also think the cashmere on offer at Iris & Ink this season is great, especially the Maddie Belted cashmere sweater, £165, below.

One thing's for sure, whatever your taste or budget, nothing beats the feel of cashmere when it starts to turn chilly! Click on the links for more information, or to shop, and thanks for stopping by.

There are a few things that I buy on rotation and know they will earn their keep in my wardrobe. Today I'm wearing my ivory Massimo Dutti silk shirt which I've had for a while and it's just beginning to show the first signs of wear.

Before this incarnation I owned both a Uniqlo silk shirt and a H&M premium silk shirt, both great value for money and good, classic fit but unfortunately succumbed to the every day rigours. Uniqlo now only do a silk touch shirt, which is a Rayon and Polyester mix, great if it's an easy care option you're after, and at £24.90 you could treat yourself to a couple of colours, however you can't quite beat the feel of 100% silk.

H&M Premium still do a 100% mulberry silk shirt but currently not available in black!

Next on my shopping list is the perfect black silk shirt, inspired by this great shot of Anine Bing, Danish model turned designer. I do also love the bolder Parrot design silk shirt from her recent collection but I always veer towards a more classic look! See more of my silk shirt pins here.

I think I might purchase this Straight fit silk shirt from & Other Stories, another great value shirt, for £69, but if you don't mind spending a bit more on this wardrobe staple then I can recommend the Winser Tilda silk shirt. With a signature stretch silk, made from 95% silk and 5% elastane, it will take the strain of every day wear in it's stride and if that's not enough of a reason to buy its also been worn by Holly Willoughby on ITV's 'This Morning'!

I bought a new pair of straight jeans last week from TK Maxx; yes they have a ready made extra turn up with a raw edge, that actually stay up, rather than if I'd done a D.I.Y job.

The brand is 1822 Denim, and are extremely comfy with some stretch, I've found them available at Nordstrom, if you can't find a pair at TK Maxx!

This look is from Friday, as I'm playing Blog catch up, when there was a heavy down pour. My K-Way jacket has come into it's own lately, as I can pack it away easily, and get it out when needed, but looks more stylish than a pac-a-mac! If I can't persuade you then David Beckham sporting one at Glastonbury may....yes, they do unisex styles. I love this metallic sheen sand colour and have sourced the perfect matching nail lacquer by Smith & Cult.

Also as the weather changes you may want to up the ante on your skincare regime; I've used Super Facialist products for over 4 years now and switch from the Rose and Vitamin C ranges intermittently. Use this Vitamin C + Glow Boost skin serum, under your day moisturiser, to help brighten your skin.

However if you want to brighten up your day, regardless of the weather, then this Clementine Backpack ,from my favourite bag brand Coccinelle, definitely will. It makes me smile just looking at it. Add a norm core blue poplin shirt and these Chuck Taylor All Stars, with a thicker sole, available at & Other Stories for a simple but effective wet weather outfit. Well you may not want to wear box fresh white sneakers in the rain.

My umbrella, just seen, is a Lulu Guinness London Tiny umbrella, and it's still going strong. See her latest Tiny umbrella design, Kissing lips, top left, £28.  Let's hope there's less wet weather forecast for this week, click on the links to shop and thanks for stopping by.
