Shopaholic Star Buy: H&M Brown Biker

Autumn may be the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, but it's also the season to tackle tricky trans-seasonal dressing. To take a coat or brave the elements in a cardi? Oh the dilemma - but my answer is always the trusty old biker jacket. That said, for A/W '14 I'm planning to mix things up a bit colour wise.

Put the black biker down and try one of the rich, autumnal hues - we're seeing yellows, oranges and browns hit the high street. Try Topshop, River Island or head to H&M where this camel coloured biker in pebbled pvc is just £34.99.

That's outerwear for autumn all sorted if you ask me!

Battle of the Biker Jackets: Baby Pink v Powder Blue

Spring has sprung and the winter coats can finally be packed away - but which of the new season's must-have jackets will be winging its way into your wardrobe for you to wear instead? For me, the front runner has to be a pastel coloured biker jacket. My black leather biker is a perennial favourite, but I might just be tempted to trade it for pretty pastel version this spring. The question is whether to go for baby pink or powder blue? Here are 4 of the best styles I've found out on the high street - but which wins out for you?

Matalan Pink PU Biker Jacket, £30
River Island Light Blue Leather Jacket, £120
Zara Pastel Faux Leather Zip Jacket, £69.99
Primark PU Pink Biker Jacket, £25

A Taste for Tartan

Happy Burn's Night! Whilst I know many people will be celebrating the birth of Scotland's greatest poet by dancing a reel, eating piping hot haggis or sipping a tot of single malt, tartan's more to my taste when it comes to Scottish exports.

On a cold January night what could be better than curling up in front of a log fire wrapped up in something warm and tartan - especially given that plaid has been one of this season's sartorial success stories. I'll concede that a bright red tartan suit suit may be a step too far (I'm looking at you, Matthew McConaughey), a subtle navy and green plaid jacket is just the ticket.

Bikers, you can keep your leather - I've found this woollen Zara jacket in a wearable yet chic a navy and green plaid.

Reduced from £69.99 - £22.99, it's a great buy for all you tartan lovers!

Ben de Lisi Biker

The lovely people at Debenhams very kindly gave me a £50 voucher to spend in store - and after a good look around I finally settled on using it to buy this Principles by Ben de Lisi biker jacket (£65).

I love the colour contrast lapels - but zip it up and it goes back to black. Think this one's sure to become a staple. Thanks Debenhams!
