Eva Mendes shows how to defy the drizzle in a patterned frock.

In an obstinate response to the rain and the approaching official start of British winter my favourite look of this week is Eva Mendes in a long floral dress. Accessorised with a sturdy heeled long boot, a straw basket and a soy latt� or whatever it is she's holding aloft, the 37-year-old actress looks elegant and comfortable, which is style mission accomplished in most people's book, non ?
I am almost equally smitten by Olivia Wilde's similar take on the look - even her ankle-cut cowboy boots!

I have a maroon '40s dress a bit similar in shape to this, which I have dragged out recently in homage to the dresses in the autumn/winter 2011 Marc by Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton collections. If you prefer your waist to your legs, as I do, it's a winner.
So defy the drizzle and impending doom of another long winter get our your patterned frocks! Throw on a long chunky-knit cardigan or a blanket coat or a parka, substitute the latt� for an umbrella and Bob's your uncle.
