fashion | Living

There are some items that must be thought of an

investment and for autumn/winter 09, boots are

where to put your money. Whether you opt for

ankle boots, shoe boots, flat boots or the very

daring (but very in) thigh-highs make sure you

make that purchase!

SHAKE YOUR BOOTIES

Tip Off!Looking for that perfect dress? Then look no

further than COVET. The new boutique is a treasure

trove of beautiful, one-off pieces – from vintage gems

to high-end designer samples, including items from

designers such as Roberto Cavalli and Valentino. All the

pieces in-store are for hire, so you can be red carpet

ready without racking up a bill on your credit card.

More is definitely more this season! Steer away from simplicity; go for gold brocades, embroidery, big brooches and chunky, chunky jewellery.

Wow ‘em like you’re on Wall Street. Next’s new (and very affordable) autumn/winter range is a fantastic collection of well-tailored suits, sharp shirts and ties for all occasions.
