Like magpies we're attracted to all things shiny.

So you can imagine our excitement when we spotted Ashley James in this little get-up. The former Made in Chelsea starlet was out and about in London's Soho rocking a very cool ensemble we're keen to copy.

The Femme Forever tee and silver skirt are both from Topshop and we're adding both to our new season wishlist. A metallic mini like this is ideal for styling with everything that's already in our wardrobe making it a versatile investment.

We'll play with texture and wear it with a cosy cashmere knit and opaque black tights until the weather warms up when bare legs and a simple tee will take over. High heel ankle boots like Ashleys' (by Public Desire, below) are perfect for evening or a pair of sneakers will play up the sports luxe vibe of the skirt by day.

So why not indulge in some futuristic fashion and click (right) to buy it now then complete the look with the tee and boots below.

Inside the event, the stylish pair looked like they were having the time of their lives as they mingled with guests and hit the DJ decks.

Ashley's outing comes just days after she posted a lingerie-clad snap to her Instagram with an empowering message about body confidence.

In her impassioned message posted last week she wrote: 'We can all feel beautiful or ugly in photos depending on the right angles and lights, and these photos [were] taken 2 seconds apart.'

Ashley had taken the snapshot in two poses, dressed only in her Pandora collection black bra and knickers, by Freya lingerie, while perfectly made up from a day of London Fashion Week events.

Explaining the motivation for her photo post, Ashley wrote: 'The other day one of my friends (who is gorgeous by the way) showed me a photo.

'She had taken [it] of herself in an unflattering light in an unflattering pose to remind herself how disgusting she was at the moment.'

Ashley concluded: 'Why do we all do this to ourselves? We wouldn't be friends with someone if they made us feel like this, but we still do it to ourselves.'

It's not the first time the model and DJ has used her notoriety to send a message about 'self-love'.

Last March, she was brave enough to publicly admit that she suffers from body dysmorphia, a condition defined by the anxiety caused by a distorted image of one's self.
