As winter's inexorable march continues, why not stay cosy this winter with this rather fab Love Label Women's Maxi Belted Cardigan from Additions Direct. I'll admit that I especially love this teal colour, so this is a shamelessly personal choice. The open design also means that the overall effect is not too heavy and overpowering. It is very long, with a collar and button fastening. Made from 68% acrylic, 16% wool, 16% mohair, the petite version is 46 ins long and comes in sizes 8 to 20. £45.00 at Additions Direct.........This item is no longer available.

The coat is made from 100% cotton corduroy with a quilted polyester lining and is available in four colours, thistle, blush, olive and khaki. The petite version comes in sizes 4 to 16 and measures about 35½" long.....more

For an elegant look in the evening or any smart occasion this Cream Floral Print Blouse from Dorothy Perkins' petite section really caught our eye.

These Washable Linen Stripe Trousers from Lands End. A pair of wide brown trousers are a must-have for Autumn/Winter 2006, and these caught my eye because most of the pairs around have some wool content in them. I personally find wool too itchy to wear and with small children there is no point in wearing anything that cannot go straight into the washing machine. These are wide enough to nod to the trend without being so wide as to swamp the smaller frame and give one that unfortunate 'clown trouser look'. Perfect!.....Sorry, this item is no longer available

This Suedette Aubergine Skirt Suit from Marks & Spencer. It is such a relief to see a smart petite outfit that isn't black or grey, especially this season when the shops are heaving with really dull clothing. The jacket and skirt can be bought separately; the jacket is £55 and comes in sizes 6 to 18, and the skirt is £35 and also comes in sizes 6 to 18, with a choice of 30" or 33" lengths.......more
