Yes, ok, if you live in London it is surprisingly warm out there, but now we're almost in the second-half of October we've finally reached the season of cosy evenings, golden leaves and layering. If, like me, you're already looking ahead to the winter season (sorry autumn babies!), the new-in sections of our favourite brands are starting to get the hint and offer up some new-season worthy pieces, too.
