With the new season fast approaching, it's time to start browsing through the new collections. I love shopping the new collections — less chance of my size, or preferred colour, being sold out.
How irritating is that?
This post will feature my current favourites from
ZARA and the next post will present my top picks from Net-A-Porter, so keep your eyes peeled for that one!
For the time being, here are the pieces that caught my eye:
COATS AND JACKETS
Couldn't be more excited with the autumn/winter trends this year. Gothic style, deep jewel tones, graphic prints, different textures... The list goes on and on. The 3 garments above have some sort of detail in the lapels, which I appreciate, like a contrasting shade or texture and even a lack of one!
DRESSES
Three dresses, covered on the front, with a short hemline. Typical "me"...
The shape can vary from loose-fitting to curve-hugging, highlighting a special detail on the back, like a beautiful bow, or on the hem. Already sorting through my opaque tights collection...
TOPS
Sheer, sheer and...
sheer. I freakin' love the first sweatshirt. The sheer and opaque stripes on the sleeves are brilliant! | The lace panels on the sides and the back of the green top, along with the more opaque straight-cut panels, make the perfect union between delicate and tough. | The final option is just obvious, if you know me. Peter Pan collar?
Check. Black and white contrast?
Check.
TROUSERS
The toned down shades and the slight transparency combined, create the most stylish plaid ever. | Coated red trousers:
just because. | The final piece is a bit of luxury found on the High Street: a pair of trousers composed by cotton on the outer edge and soft leather on the inside. They come with a higher price tag, of course...
SKIRTS AND SHORTS
Keeping up with the leather theme, this mini skirt with zips is the most versatile addition to any Autumn/Winter wardrobe. It can dress up a T-shirt or tough up a more feminine or
dressy shirt. | The middle one, is a stretchy skirt — love the fact that it's navy, instead of black — with coated panels, making it more interesting, texture-wise. | The striped shorts are the cutest! I think they make the look more girly, without being
too feminine.
BAGS AND SHOES
Thinking if I should purchase this mini office city bag in burgundy. It's very clean and simple, but this shade adds something special to it. | Speaking of colour, the green and cream colour-block messenger bag, with a lovely golden chain, makes quite a statement. | (One of) the top trends in boots: the cutout. Either you love it or you don't...
