Check It Out
One of this season's trend is an oft-recurring one; you may very well have a check shirt in your wardrobe already. If so, now is the time to wrench it from the back of the wardrobe and run the iron over it. If not, this Petite Purple & Grey Check Embroidered Top from Rocha.JohnRocha's Petite range at Debenhams collection is a lovely feminine way to work the trend. It mixes a boyish plaid with girlish embroidery and soft pleats. The top is 100% cotton and comes in sizes 8 to 18........Sorry, this item is no longer available.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Bring out your feline side with this Paintsplash Animal Tee from Miss Selfridge. On a peach background a cheetah emerges, camouflage-like from an apparent mess of splashed paint. The Tee has cap sleeves, ruched sides and is embellished with studs to give that cool rock-chick vibe which has a kittenish sweet edge. The tee comes in sizes 4 to 14...........This item is no longer available.

Pixel
Bold, graphic designs are one of the watchwords for this coming season, so this Yellow Pixelated Tunic from Wallis really caught our eye. Team it with skinny jeans or leggings and some black leather boots to be totally on trend. For the finishing touch throw over a black leather biker jacket. Available in sizes 8 to 18 it has 3/4 length sleeves and falls just below the bottom if leggings make you a bit self-concious.....sorry, this item is no longer available

Leggin' It
The hottest trouser for Autumn/Winter 2009 is the denim legging - jeggings is the rather inelegant name they have been given by some fashionistas. Dorothy Perkins have these petite Blue Denim Jeggings in sizes 4 to 18. Wear them with now with flats or spikey heels then tuck them into boots when the weather turns colder, and they should be able to wear them right through to next spring.....more

South Of The Border
A dress is one of the simplest outfits to pull together; no matching of tops and skirts to worry about. We love this Jersey Border Print Dress from M&Co. It's 50's style leaf design is a classic and we love the faux layered look under the V-neck. The dress is also available in black with a graphic flower print and comes in sizes 8 to 18. So, just throw over a jacket for work or cardigan at the weekend and you're ready to go.....more

Waterfall
This pretty Petite Purple Waterfall Jersey Top is from Debenhams Petite collection. The lovely ruffled front, which presumably is the inspiration for the name, flows down the front of the blouse. The dropped waist band is shirred and the gathered sleeves mirror the fluid front of the blouse.

Animal Instinct
Does your shoe wardrobe need an injection of glamour? This Black Gardenia Sequin Platform Court Shoe from Petite Feet is truly magnificent. Zebra is a classic pattern that will be the height of fashion every couple of years, but who needs to justify owning such a beautiful thing with prosaic arguments such as cost-per-wear? It comes in sizes 1 and 2 and is also available in pink, blue and black. Sigh..............Sorry, this item is no longer available

Shift Gear
This fabulous Petite Satin Shift Dress from Wallis' petite range features the most succulent painterly print in purple with hints of fushcia and olive. The style is a classic shift which hints at the 80's without looking totally retro. We love that the dress has an unusual pleated neckline and the self print tie belt is included too - it would look really cool tied in your hair. It is available in sizes 8 to 18 and better still it comes in at a bargain £45..............sorry, this item is no longer available

Shoe Love
Small shoe size specialist petitefeet have many lovely sandals for the summer. This glorious Belle & Mimi Bow Trim Wedge Sandal from Petite Feet comes in sizes 1 and 2 and is available in the purple shown here as well as blue - more of a sort of turquoise shade. These shoes make me long for hot summer days spent sipping long cool drinks in flowing dresses and straw hats.......Sorry, this item is no longer available

Top Of The Crops
Yes, I know that cropped trousers can be difficult to wear for anyone who isn't supermodel height. However these Petite Indigo Boyfriend Crop Trousers from the Rocha.John Rocha petite range at Debenhams cut off at a length more akin to skirt length than mid-calf, thus avoiding the stunted effect that crops can often cause. Made from cotton and elastane they come in sizes 8 to 18..........Sorry, this item is no longer available.

The blouse is made from layered chiffon and is available in sizes 8 to 18...............more
