Something for the weekend: The September issue

It's now official... summer is over! September is here and we're begrudgingly preparing for those long, cold nights to draw in. However, this definitely does not mean that your wardrobe also has to suffer. Although we'll now be opting for slightly more muted shades (LBD's are top of the agenda), we've got the perfect outfits for an array of September occasions. Whether you're planning on relaxing in a bar with a cocktail in hand, going out for a swanky dinner or hitting the clubs, there's always a reason to dress up in a gorgeous new dress. Just make sure you carry a coat and brolly... you can never predict the British weather!

Classic

Coco Chanel is the ideal style icon to look to when you're channelling a classic look, and the Lipstick Boutique Talia Dress, £65, is without a doubt one of the hottest dresses of the season. The black and white monochrome style with a crop top overlay is perfectly chic for the season ahead, while the nipped in waist is figure flattering and slimming. Team with simple jewellery, an elegant clutch and high heels for the ultimate classic look.

Feminine

Who says florals are just for summer? The Chi Chi London Blossom Dress, £44.99, is perfect for understated flirty and feminine winter glamour. Taking a twist on the LBD with a subtle floral print, the dress features a fit and flare skirt, which is ideal for accentuating the waist. The V-neckline and sheer mesh shoulder panels make this dress ideal for a transitional day to night outfit - pair with a heeled ankle boot in the day and then emphasize the floral print with a statement white heel when you hit the town. Delicate earrings and a fuss-free clutch are the perfect accessories for this girly and feminine outfit.
