Capes are hardly a new fashion phenomena, but with the spotlight at Burberry AW14 shining on their ultra cosy blanket capes it was inevitable that come September we'd all be wanting one. I bought my first (although likely not my last) blanket cape for the season last weekend at Topshop - see above! I'm looking forward to sharing it styled up in outfit posts, I think they're so easy to wear and I'd put money on the fact that they'll be absolutely everywhere to the point of overkill at fashion week. I managed to nab the last one of these right off the display model, but it's available on the website
here now. I've also created a mini wishlist of some of my favourite affordable blanket capes which you can buy right now. I have my eye on the M&S one in particular, and have also seen some lovely oversized scarves in H&M. Which is your favourite? Have you picked up, or will you be picking up a blanket cape for AW14?
