      September always feels like the start of a new year, bringing a refreshing update to our wardrobes. New year, same me! I relish the feeling of acquiring a new notebook and looking forward to the rest of the year. Let’s be honest, autumn is arguably the most stylish season, with light layers and numerous opportunities to style outfits creatively. I’ve discovered some incredible new-season items to infuse your wardrobe with fresh energy, which will serve you well for years to come.

      **Prada Nappa Leather Biker Jacket**

      I firmly believe in investing in timeless pieces that can be cherished for years, and this year's quest was to find a leather jacket that fits this criterion. I struck gold with my ideal leather jacket from Prada, boasting the perfect relaxed fit!

      **Reformation Petites Olina Silk Pant**

      I adore a silky pair of trousers paired with a knit, but as someone who is vertically challenged, I usually need to visit a tailor. Not anymore! Reformation offers these trousers in a petite size, and they are absolutely perfect! They also come in several color options.

      With the change in weather, layers are essential. At heart, I'm a shirt person, and I discovered and loved a cashmere shirt from COS earlier this week. The shade of brown is wonderful to me, and I’m excited about the idea of layering it with a denim shirt underneath.

      **GUEST IN RESIDENCE The Wild Rag Cashmere-Jacquard Bandana**

      We witnessed the bandana scarf trend’s rise during the warmer months; why stop there? I've always had a fondness for bandana scarves, and this lovely cashmere version is ideal for layering, plus it can be wrapped around the waist too. The red hue is simply perfect.

      **Massimo Dutti Contrast Collar Short Coat**

      I’m really fond of the fit of this jacket. While oversized styles have dominated outerwear for some time, it’s refreshing to see a slightly more tailored fit with buttons reaching all the way to the top. Petite ladies, I tried this on and can confirm it isn't overwhelming for our frames! I would style it with a few top buttons fastened and the rest undone for an evening event.

      I had to mention some jeans, and these are a must. They give you the look of vintage jeans without the hassle of searching for genuine vintage options. Plus, for both short and tall girls, Levi's offers various leg lengths, so alterations aren't necessary. Sorry, Mr. Tailor!

      Big bags are making a comeback, and this large briefcase, as I’m calling it, is the ultimate bag. The color, shape, and shiny leather have me obsessed.

      **Polo Ralph Lauren Bear Wool Cashmere Blend Jumper**

      Nothing signifies autumn like a cozy bear-motif jumper. The Ralph Lauren knit will always remain a favorite of mine!

      **Massimo Dutti Wedge Heeled Mules**

      This is the perfect time to enjoy your mules while the weather is still mild. I particularly admire the shape of this pair from Massimo Dutti. A tip from me is to wear them with trousers or jeans, as they resemble boots, which is ideal for the present season when traditional boots aren't quite necessary yet!

      I’ve always appreciated a brooch, and while I favored larger flower designs in warmer weather, this season I'm opting for something more streamlined. This beautiful sparkly piece will elevate anything you already own in your wardrobe.

      **DÔEN Idella Corded Lace-Trimmed Ramie Blouse**

      I’ve uncovered the perfect chic top!
