The key to keeping new year resolutions is to make them about treating yourself. So forget lose weight, be nicer (nice?) to people, and eat five a day. The best NYR a girl can make is to wear matching undies every day. (Matching NICE undies. Teaming a greying, frayed bra with greying, frayed knickers doesn’t count). And it is even easier with the new Myla lingerie final reductions sale.

Ankle boots are everywhere this season - they’re sexy, stylish, and super glamorous. Perfect for anyone who isn’t quite sure about wearing thigh boots, this season’s ankle boots will update an existing outfit instantly. Just drag on your old skinny jeans and tuck them into your ankle boots, or wear your ankle boots with a denim mini and some ’80s-style lace leggings, or for night time with a simple sharp-shouldered LBD, and you’re done, fashion-wise.

Which is good as you’ll need all that money you’re saving on unneccesary fashion purchases to pay for taxis to take you everywhere (I said ankle boots were sexy, stylish and glamorous, I didn’t say they were comfy).

Actually there are some flat ankle boots around - but really, when faced with a choice between some expensive but descreet designer flatties and a pair of towering red-lined Alexander McQueen ankle boots, which would you choose? So go high this season and stop whingeing about your bunions, no-one cares.

Visit Matches Fashion for fabulous designer ankle boots by Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, Chloe, Brian Atwood, Belle by Sigerson Morrison, David Wyatt, Rupert Sanderson, Yves Saint Laurent and more - or check out our favourite designer ankle boots, below.

Over the knee boots and thigh boots are this season’s biggest boot trend, so wear them with panache and be guaranteed new season fashion Brownie points (and probably a lot of stares in Waitrose).

Thigh high boots can be tricky to pull off - literally and figuratively. A flat black suede over the knee boot over your favourite skinny jeans would be a good way to ease yourself into this trend, though the coolest way to wear thigh boots - without bringing to mind the old Dolly Parton quote “it takes a lot of money to look this cheap” - is with a flirty pair of city shorts and black or coloured opaques.

Best designer bargain for over the knee boots?  It has to be the Stella McCartney boots, below, for an amazingly reasonable £275 - that’s only £137.50 per boot! (Skint? Sarah’s money saving tip - buy a pair, split with a friend, and hop.)

Check out our favourite over the knee boots and thigh high boots from Rupert Sanderson, Chloe, Lanvin and Stella McCartney, below.

The new Preen collection is hitting all the right style notes. Featuring leather, biker jackets (knitted!), and an update on the Preen Power dress which takes it crash bang into A/W 09, the Preen collection is very new season but also is recognisably Preen.

The new version of the Preen Power Dress is black and white, in a funky and suitably autumnal extra-large hound tooth check. Clingy in all the right places (ie pretty much everywhere), with a sexy full length zip down the back, this Preen Power Dress will turn heads wherever you go. Preen Power Dress, £745.

Bear in mind that though colour-wise it is autum-winter, coverage-wise it most definitely isn’t. So unless you are (a) from Newcastle or (b) under 25, you’ll want a decent cover-up. This knitted grey Preen biker jacket for the body-con fans or this long cable-knit Preen cardigan would do the job just fine.

************

Leather is big news this season, and every woman should have a cute leather skirt. This Preen shrunken leather skirt has some cute detailing (an exposed gold zip down the front and ribbed pockets on each side of the hips), and is super-versatile. Preen shrunken leather skirt, £350.

Dress it up for evenings or wear with this season’s funky ankle boots for day.  (Wearing it with this season’s thigh high boots might be a bit too Band of Gold though).

************

Now for my favourites… these fab Preen leather trousers with… quilted knees! They also have a button fastening and zip fly, and exposed gold zips at the front of the ankles. 100% Leather 65% Acrylic 29% Polyamide 6% Elastane. Please note, only the front of the trousers is leather. Preen leather trousers with quilted knees, £500.

I have never seen quilted knees on anything before until this season, now they seem to be popping up everywhere. Isn’t it lovely how fashion has gone all comfy - cosy knits, 80s nostalgia and now quilted knees, presumably to make kneeling a bit more comfortable? No, I don’t want to know why you’re kneeling down while wearing just tight leather Preen pants. No, stop it. No! <puts fingers in ears and sings tralalala>

I have new best handbags like Lily Allen has new best friends. Not for me the classic but slightly battered black quilted Chanel, handed down from mother to daughter to granddaughter, only leaving the family to be sent off for a brush up and revamp every generation (do they end up like the old broom - “I’ve had this broom for 25 years, and in that time it’s had five new heads and five new handles”?).

No, I flit from bag to bag, and designer to designer, as my mood and my outfit takes me. (Sarah’s money saving tip: it may sound like I spend a fortune on designer bags - I don’t, as I see one I love, then swoon over it for a couple of days wondering whether to buy it and live on beans for  two months, by which time I have got bored with that bag and moved on to the next one. And so the cycle continues, without ever disturbing my bank account while leaving me feeling smug at my bag-related ontrendness.)

Anyway my current bag crush is this pretty plaid Derby Yasmin large tote bag from Vivienne Westwood Accessories - with a green, purple and pink plaid pattern, and over the arm carry handles, this large tote also has gold orb studs on the base and the handles. The tote is lined with an orb print fabric and there is a phone pouch and zipped pocket. Vivienne Westwood large plaid tote is £333 and measure 40cm by 33cm by 18cm. Buy it now at My Wardrobe.

This pretty and colourful Vivienne Westwood Accessories plaid bag also makes a change from the admittedly stylish but (whisper it) rather gloomy designer bags currently doing the rounds - black, grey, tan, brown, with the occasional splash of purple or red. (Note to bag designers - we know autumn during a recession is dull and miserable, we don’t need you reminding us).
