Everything I see is pointing to the fact that if you buy one thing this autumn, make it a blanket cape. If you are like me and only like things when they are a)thrifted b)cheeaaaap c)DIY or d)all of the above, make sure you get down to your local thrift/homewares/antique/ikea store and buy a blanket w a cool motif for slinging around your shoulders. I was actually in good old Primark* a little while ago and they had a checked soft fleece blanket that was a prime cape candidate.

* (for those of you not in the UK, primark is an utterly out of control store that sells clothes and homewares for under a fiver - where you should expect to get your hair ripped out over a pair of 2 quid earrings. To really punish yourself, head there on a saturday morning with a hangover )
