Zig Zag
For a warm-but-smart office look (if you can get out of the house to go to work of course!!) we love this Missoni-style Petite Orange Zig Zag Cardigan from Wallis. In a warm shade of orange (it's also available in black & white) it is shaped at the waist which gives it a smart and elegant look. The cardigan has a handkerchief hem and comes in sizes 8 to 18.............sorry, this item is no longer available

The Frill Of It
Cheer up a dull winter's day with this Floral and Frill Top from M&Co. Whilst supressing the urge to make a joke about cheap frills (one pun on the word frill is surely enough) I loved the luscious flowers adorning this top, combined with that frill which makes the top perfect for those who are selfconscious about hips, stomachs or bottoms. The neckline is a flattering V shape and it has 3/4 length sleeves. Available in sizes 8 to 18.......................more.

Cuddle Up
Coats that fit the petite frame are one of the hardest things to find; too often a coat bought in a regular size will have drooping shoulders and over-long arms on the smaller amongst us. Three cheers for Miss Selfridge who have a selection of bang on-trend fur trimmed and faux fur coats, such as this gorgeous Cream Cut About Fur Coat in their petite range. Available in small, medium and large sizes which covers the range from 6 to 16. There's a petite aviator style jacket in the range too......more

Autumn
This fantastic Petite Tree Print Shift Dress from Dorothy Perkins seems to encapsulate the autumnal mood; bare tree branches are sillouettted against a brooding grey sky. The simple shift style of the dress allows the stunning print to speak for itself. Available in sizes 4 to 16.....more

Watch The Birdie
I confess I'm a sucker for anything with a feather print, so I just love this Petite Teal Feather Top from Wallis. The print mixes shades of teal and turqoise with golden shades of brown and hints of fuchia which will work perfectly if you want to emulate the menagerie of animal print looks that prowled the catwalks for A/W '10. The top is made from a stretchy viscose/lycra mix and comes in sizes 8 to 18...............sorry, this item is no longer available

Classic
We love a classic nude shoe; why? When worn with similarly coloured hoisery it will make the your legs look like they go on for ever. These fab Patent Button Bar Court Shoes from Petite Feet tick all the boxes. Wearable cone heel? Check. Nude shade to work with A/W'10's camel and beige trend? Check! Finally, that huge button just lifts these shoes out of the ordinary. Also available in black, grey and red........Sorry, this item is no longer available
By Any Other Name
Rain or shine, this pretty Petites Rose Shift Dress from Miss Selfridge would be the perfect thing to wear to a summer event, party or wedding. We just love the romantic tea rose border print on the chiffon top layer combined with the classic shift dress styling. It comes in sizes 4 to 14. All you need now is a glass of Pimms.......more

Monochrome
Monochrome is a perrenial fashion favourite, and we love this graphic Petite Black Colour Block Kimono Top from Ben de Lisi's range for Principles which is available exclusively online at Debenhams.

Free Bird
With spring in the offing we could not resist this delightful Cream Bird Print Skirt from Miss Selfridge. We love the totally dotty print and the '80s style high gathered waist. (It used to be called a paper bag waist, but hopefully someone will have come up with a more elegant turn of phrase by now). This 'skater' skirt also has pockets and comes in sizes 4 to 14.........more

While snow lies on the ground, fashion magazines torture us with images of summer dresses. Ho hum. This lovely Floral Print Dress from Next lets you try out spring's new florals in a dress that can be easily 'winterized' with opaque tights, boots and a sweater. Available in sizes 6 - 16, this 3/4 length sleeve dress is made from a viscose/elastane mix and features a bold pink and grey flower print.

Rock'n'Roll
Perhaps it is a sign of the fashion world's caution, but this season every thing is black and neutral; classic investment pieces to persuade us to buy even in a recession.

In A Swirl
Bargain time once again. We spotted this Heine Petite Length Print Dress at Kaleidoscope at only £44 and fell in love. Yes, maybe it is a bit summery for October, but if you are lucky enough to be jetting off somewhere warm soon, or just love cruisewear lines all year round, this would be perfect. The abstract, painterly swirl of the print is just glorious. It is available in sizes 8 to 20. We love the detail at the waist, giving the effect of wearing a belt............more
