The Measure of the season – what's hot and what's not this autumn/winter

Going up: Warhol, buying local, Bond Street. Going down: chocolate ice-cream, novelty nail colours, neons

*Going up
*

*Couture with morning coffee *Pay tribute to Isabella Blow's more-is-more approach to dressing up when you visit the retrospective of her clothes at London's Somerset House in November. Fashion Galore! Indeed.

*Early Warhol* Dior used the artist's early illustrations of shoes and flowers in its autumn show (right). Forget Marilyn and Jackie and get into 50s-era Warhol pronto.

*Sheep* The animal accessory du jour, according to Annie Leibovitz. Ads shot by the photographer for Woolmark and M&S both feature the woolly ones, leaving piglets – previously top dog in the fashion farmyard – in the sty for now.

*Bond Street *We confess we've been distracted by Mount and Dover but Bond is back thanks to the reopening of McQueen's London location. Refurbed by the late David Collins and creative director Sarah Burton, it's set to put Bond on the fashion map this autumn.

*Buying local *Style's Team GB has a new home on my-wardrobe.com. The London Lab is a new part of the website dedicated to UK designers. Featuring catwalk faves Marios Schwab and Meadham Kirchhoff, as well as cult classic purveyors like Studio Nicholson, this is the kind of patriotism we can get behind.

*Versace biopic *In the works, apparently, with Gina Gershon playing Donatella. You can only hope she puts in a performance up to Showgirls standards, but with more blond hair.

*Lulu Kennedy's hair*

The Fashion Dame has launched a haircare range with Toni & Guy. Now we can all have her enviable beachy waves.

*Going down
*

*Resort collections *Carven has collaborated with Ancient Greek Sandals on an excellent range of shoes – including one design that looks like bananas. The downside? They won't be with you until November.

*Winter dressing in September *OK, we all want to try out our autumn buys but let's squeeze out as much summer as we can. Try tweed with holiday-skin legs and wool shell tops with no coat for now. Opaques and capes should be saved till temperatures properly drop, please.

*Chocolate ice-cream *Vanilla ice-cream has an unlikely champion in fashion's favourite editress, Carine Roitfeld. In a recent interview, her daughter Julia Restoin Roitfeld said chocolate was off the menu due to potential stains. That's the kind of alpha mother behaviour we like.

*Novelty nail colours *Olivia Palermo has revealed she goes for classic red on toes and hands. We don't trust Palermo on everything, but when it comes to sleek grooming (and fancy holidays) we do.

*Using two hands *Because you will need one to grab your doctor's bag/envelope clutch/duffle bag (delete as appropriate). Shoulder straps are a goner.

*Yellow gold *Time to rest the shiny stuff and dust off the pearls. With Diana's biopic in cinemas and an exhibition dedicated to them at the V&A, it's the knowing accessory nod to indulge in this season.

*Don Draper *Forget the 60s: Cillian Murphy in Peaky Blinders is our retro object of lust this autumn. Important hair point: his cut is the 1920s take on Gareth Bale's shave-meets-quiff do.

*Neons *RIP club kid colour palette. Hello, Farrow & Ball wardrobe.
