A Stroll In The Plaza
Prints are going to be so big for Spring/Summer 2009, so if cutesy florals are not your thing how about this modernistic Plaza Print Skirt from Precis Petite. It's made from a cool linen mix chiffon fabric and it's fully lined too. Fitted at the top and flaring out towards the bottom, this mid-length skirt would co-ordinate with so many different colours.

Cosy Up
Whether the snow is lying thick on the ground or there is just a chill wind, this 3/4 sleeve Petite Red Stripe Cardigan from Wallis will not only keep you warm but cheer up a cold day too. At the moment you can layer it up with longer sleeves underneath, then come the spring it will look good over a tee or on it's own. Made in a cotton mix and available in sizes 8 to 18, it also comes in navy......sorry, this item is no longer available

Grrrrrrr!
Spring/Summer 2009 looks set to be an odd season for fashion; clearcut trends have not emerged from the catwalks, and the forecast is for a summer of eclectic, self-styled outfiits inspired by art, films and maybe fashion bloggers such as The Glamourai. Great self stylists have a stash of classic pieces which they can wear year after year, and animal prints only go out of fashion for a season or so at most. This fab Petites Leopard Grecian Dress from Miss Selfridge is one that would definately earn it's keep. It has a sexy tie back and comes in sizes 4 to 14...................This item is no longer available

Floral Tribute
The nights may be icy cold but a few flowers will always cheer you up whatever the weather. This fab Petite Aqua And Grey Floral Top for Petite Collection at Debenhams has a V-neck leading to a flattering gathered bustline and fitted waist. The 3/4 length sleeves leave room to show off a bracelet, and the print has a childlike potato print charm. It's available in sizes 6 to 18.........Sorry, this item is no longer available.

Party Time
This beautiful Floribunda Print Dress from Precis Petite has feminine cap sleeves, a gentle frilled neckline and an asymmetric skirt. The design is in a soft powder blue satin devore print not obviously floral, more an abstract pen and ink sketch feel. It is also a massive bargain at £49 down from £149 in Precis' sale, so a couple of sizes have sold out. At time of writing it was available in sizes 10 to 18..............

Every year the catwalks throw up a number of items as high fashion which are usually regarded as part of a classic wardrobe; this is always a great opportunity to buy a classic garment that will last for years. This autumn the mac is the high fashion item more usually termed a 'classic basic'. We love this Petite Single Breasted Belted Mac from M&S. Available in sizes 6 to 18, it's a go-anywhere, go-with-anything item and a bargain at just £35............Sorry, this item is no longer available.

A lace dress is a must have for the forthcoming party season; catwalks from Prada to Stella McCartney, Givenchy to Alexandra McQueen showed lace and peek-a-boo see-through dresses. This Petite Lace Dress from Very ticks all the boxes, revealing enough to be sexy while giving enough coverage to give just a little modestly. It comes in sizes 6 to 20 at a bargain £35..............Sorry, this item is no longer available

I think I love the name of this dress as much as anything; Petite Angel Sleeve Dress is delightfully poetic don't you think? The dress is equally attractive. A Little Black Dress - and the LBD is back with a vengance for Autumn/Winter 2008 - with a beautiful lace trim giving an unusual twist to this classic basic. The dress is available from Miss Selfridge in sizes 4 to 14............This item is no longer available

The catwalks for Autumn/Winter were awash with checks, bold or subtle and made into everything from shirts and skirts to tights and eveningwear. If you want to make an early purchase that will take you well into autumn with this Petite Pink Check Shirt from Dorothy Perkins. It's made in 100% cotton and available in sizes 4 to 18. We love the feminine styling which will allow you to wear checks without looking like a lumberjack..........more

If you would like to invest in a dress that will come back into fashion every few years, we have to recommend this Petite Linen Blend Sleeveless A Line Stripe Dress. The classic black and white sixties style dress is revived by designers every couple of seasons, so this number could be one that comes out of your wardrobe on a regular basis. It's made in a linen mix which will appeal to all crease-phobics and is lined as well. Just £25 at Marks & Spencer ..............Sorry, this item is no longer available.

We are in a bit of a flap about this heavenly flapper-style Dropped Waist Beaded Dress from Next. We imagine ourselves wearing the dress while attending an impossibly glamorous 1920's cocktail party, à la 'The Great Gatsby'. In a cool minty green the dress itself is 100% pure silk and available in sizes 6 to 16. We particularly appreciate the sleeves which give just a touch more upper arm coverage than most of this summer's party frocks.....sorry, this item is no longer available

We thought we saw some sunshine this week, yes, really! While it still isn't definite whether to store away the winter woolies and wellies, we did rather like this Cream Applique Top from Miss Selfridge. The black open design is stitched onto the front of this frilled feminine smock-style top. Perfect with jeans, this pretty top would also look wonderful with a smarter outfit. The fabric has a little stretch in it too. It is available in sizes 4 to 14..............This item is no longer available
