Rock Next Season's Key Trends - Part Two


I'm so relieved that, after last week's post, you all admitted that you're also longing to get your mitts on A/W 2012's key trends. It means I can safely go back to hubby and reassure him that, nope, I'm not a complete shopaholic...

Anyway, this is part two in our guide on next season's biggest (and best) trends. I'm especially loving the oversized sweaters, which I reckon will cover a multitude of post-pregnancy sins...

Which are your faves?
