Sure, Summer might be coming to an end, but you shouldn't let that thought bring you down. Instead, why not beat away the blues by investing in some gorgeous pieces that will transform your wardrobe? This month, our editors are shopping items that will both help them enjoy those last days of sun and transition into Autumn with style. From fun t-shirts and practical nightwear to gorgeous handbags and pretty jewellery that will last a lifetime, read on to scope out the stuff that's already on our fashion wish lists.
Shrimps Una Pink Bag
"I'm in utter love with this Shrimps Una Pink Bag (£375). It answers every question from 'what will improve every one of my outfits by 3,000 cool points?' to 'what is the meaning of life?'" — Lucy Kenny, assistant editor
& Other Stories Wool & Mohair Bomber Knit
"Sure, it's Summer and I hate Winter, but that doesn't mean I'm not dreaming of clothes so fluffy, they're practically clouds. This & Other Stories Wool & Mohair Bomber Knit (£89) has gone straight to the top of my must-have list." — Tori Crowther, assistant editor
"Every year, I like to invest in a pair of boots that will elevate my outfits and make me feel like I'm a boss lady. The Malone Souliers Madison Double Band Boots (£645) are exactly that, and I knew they deserved a place in my wardrobe the moment I saw them." — Morgane Le Caer, assistant editor
Finery Black Winter Feathers Peplum Dress
"This Finery Winter Feathers Peplum Dress (£99) screams 'the Duchess of Cambridge at Wimbledon,' but for those of us without a calendar full of royal engagements, it's still a great does-it-all dress for big events and important meetings." — Gemma Cartwright, senior editor
Skinny Dip Peachy T-Shirt
"This Skinny Dip Peachy T-Shirt (£18) is as affordable as it is adorable — and I'm sold. Plus, it's channelling major Call Me by Your Name vibes." — LK
Une Piece Original Sexie Rashie Floral Swimsuit
"A floral one-piece with surfer-girl vibes? Count me in. The Une Piece Original Sexie Rashie Floral Swimsuit (£110) is flattering for all shapes, and the zip locks at any height so you can tailor your neckline." — TC
Dune Nadya Diamante Embellished Sliders
"Those 'Oh, I just picked them up on holiday in Greece for 10 euros' sandals have had a glamorous makeover. Pack the leather ones for day and these Dune Nadya Diamante Embellished Sliders (£90) for night and your late Summer minibreak look is sorted." — GC
Women's Accessable Hospital Pyjama Set
"Gone are the days when hospital pyjamas are either downright ugly or simply not practical when it comes to treatment equipment. The Inga Wellbeing Pyjama Set (£115, originally £130) has patient needs in mind with poppers and fastenings in just the right places and gives a new meaning to daytime PJ aesthetic." — TC
Zara Long Shirtdress
"Finding the perfect transitional dress to go from Summer to Autumn isn't always easy, but Zara really hit the mark with this silky Long Shirtdress (£119). I already can't wait to wear it." — MLC
Roxanne Assouline Technicolor Rainbow Bracelets
"I have seen Roxanne's luxuriously playful jewels on everyone from Leandra Medine to Antoni Porowski, and I'm keen to join the club with these Roxanne Assouline Technicolor Rainbow Bracelets (£338)." — LK
Sassy Pud Gucci Guac
"If you want a t-shirt with a little more attitude, Sassy Pud will deliver. There's nothing left to say other than the Gucci Guac T-Shirt (£22) is 'so Gucci.'" — TC
ASOS Stripe Pineapple Bag
"Will I ever be over pineapples? Probably not. This fun ASOS Stripe Pineapple Bag (£22) is perfect for adding a pop of colour to an all-white outfit during the heatwave!" — GC
Maria Tash Flower Garland Diamond Earring
"I am very picky when it comes to jewellery and love to invest in timeless pieces that I know I will cherish forever. The Maria Tash Flower Garland Diamond Earring (£830) is adorable and delicate, and I can't envision not having it in my life." — MLC
Weekday Sun Aop Swimsuit
"I choose this 'choice' Weekday Sun Aop Swimsuit (£25) 10 times over for my next holiday." — LK
Oeuvre Khaki Split Leg Jumpsuit
"This sexy Oeuvre Khaki Split Leg Jumpsuit (£35) is the perfect alternative to a maxi dress for warm Summer nights. Just add a sleek ponytail and some giant earrings to finish the look." — GC
Ania Haie Thin Cuff Bracelet
"I'm all into minimalist jewellery and cuff bracelets, so when I saw Ania Haie's Thin Cuff (£25), I fell in love straight away." — TC
Figleaves Smoothing Bra
"I've been on the hunt for a comfortable bra for years, and I've finally found my holy grail in the Figleaves Smoothing Sweetheart Bra (£26), which is the softest one I have ever owned. It offers great coverage, it doesn't need readjusting throughout the day, and its wider side bands mean that there won't be any bulging. When I get home after a long day of work, taking my bra off isn't a priority anymore, and I just love the rose gold detailing." — MLC
Topshop Horn Button A-Line Denim Skirt
"This Topshop Horn Button A-Line Denim Skirt (£29) is calling me. I adore its blush colour, horn buttons, and wearability, and I'll definitely be picking it up on my next shopping trip." — LK
Karen Mabon Hollywood Bikini
"As soon as I heard queen of quirky prints Karen Mabon was launching swimwear, I knew I'd love it. And she didn't disappoint. The Hollywood Bikini (£145) is the perfect combination of retro fun and modern cool." — GC
Strathberry MC Nano Tri Color Bag
"I would be lying if I said this purchase wasn't influenced by Meghan Markle, who's more than once been spotted carrying a Strathberry handbag. This adorable MC Nano Tri Color bag (£275) looks elegant while also being colourful, and I just love its striking gold handle." — MLC
