We don’t know about you, but today we’re coveting some Parisian chic.

Created by Moroccan-born designer Judith Milgrom in 2004, French label Maje is making a name for itself with its highly desirable, youthful yet sexy pieces.

We absolutely love Maje’s autumn/winter collection: it’s got a distinctly Sixties feel to it with peter pan collars, cute knits and tiny body-con mini dresses.

But the piece we’re really loving? This light grey sweater with a removable riveted collar.

Chic and timeless, the detachable lambskin studded collar gives this knit a modern rock and roll edge. Plus, since it’s detachable, you can team the collar with other jumpers and tops too – tres bien!

We’ll be wearing it with a mini skirt, ribbed wool tights and cute Mary Jane shoes, stood next to the Eiffel Tower, of course.

Oh, and with Marion Cotillard and Vanessa Paradis as fans of the label, we know we’re in good company. Parfait!

Maje Light grey sweater with removable riveted collar, £167, available at Stylebop.com.

Whimsical, quaint and ever so dreamy – this bow silk blouse is all of the above.

This is perfect for the approaching autumn days and we love how feminine this piece is. And if ultra girly is not your usual style it can be hardened up with leather leggings and chunky platforms.

A perfect transition piece from wearing it to the office to going out for dinner and drinks, it is certainly a piece we want now! Lanvin Silk Bow Blouse £1565, available at Matches

Sometimes work wear can be a real drag, suits only seem to be available in a really plain colour palette of greys blacks and navy. Just because we are at work doesn’t mean we have to look boring and it doesn’t mean we can’t experiment with colour for the fear of being taken less seriously. So taking this into consideration it is important to add a splash of colour to break up the dreariness, think of it having the same effect as a glimmer of blue sky on a grey foggy day.

This rose ruffle top would compliment any suit and would not compromise the professional look you have achieved,  plus we reckon it would do the transition from day to night just right!

When most of us are going through a tough break up, I think it’s fair to say that the first few weeks are spent in joggies and hoodies hiding under our bed covers eating chocolate, not Ms.Tweedy. Cheryl of course has a tight schedule to keep to and she’s sticking to it in style, looking as gorgeous as ever in a structured tee from hot American label Alice and Olivia by Stacey Bendet.

Snapped at Heathrow airport last week, Cheryl teams the grey embellished shoulder tee with slick leather leggings, killer stilettos and those essential over-sized aviators. An outfit that, I think you’ll agree says, ‘Ashley who?’

If you too want a kick-ass ‘I’ve just dropped my man’ look, or if you’d just like to re-create Cheryl’s sleek style, then the structured Parade tee is available online from aliceandolivia.com at $242.00. If it’s shoulder detail you’re after but the price tag is a little steep, then we’ve found this fringed tee from Reiss for a slightly more affordable £85. Team with leather look leggings and heels and you’ll be channelling La Tweedy in no time at all.
