Welcome to autumn! We’re now officially in the land of trans-seasonal dressing where walking out the door requires having to deal with the fact it could go from warm one minute to cold the next. And for me this means strategically adding a few key items into my wardrobe such as lightweight knits and comfortable closed toe flats to ease my sadness at having to put my dresses and sandals into hibernation for a few months (that said, a pair of ah-mazing velvet heels may have caught my eye this month).
Whilst I’m a little sad to farewell summer the change in season has got me in the mood to plan my autumn/winter wardrobe and the new additions I’ll be making to it. Any excuse for a bout of shopping, right? I’m currently refreshing my mind about what I already have in my closet so I know what might need replacing and what on-trend pieces I can add. In the process I’ve managed to find a few things that I’d love to add to my autumn wardrobe. Below is a snapshot of what’s on my radar.
Have you started planning your autumn/winter looks? I’d love to hear what you’ve got on your wishlist right now.
Gucci Jordaan gingham loafers
If the frequency at which I wear my Gucci loafer slides is anything to go by a new pair would definitely get plenty of use. The shape of these is so flattering and they’re comfy too. The poppy gingham print is the perfect colourful touch to what will be an endless stream of moody, neutral shades over the next few months.
Chloe Poppy heart-framed shaped glasses
These Lolita-esque sunglasses are an adorable shape that will add a playful finishing touch to any look. Accessories are one way to really liven up a look during the cooler months.
Alexander McQueen skull and floral print scarf
I’m a big fan of scarves as they’re so easy to throw on when the weather is still slightly unpredictable. I love the colour of this, and the signature McQueen skull print.
Muun Louise wood handle bucket bag
I really like the chic, minimalist feel of this. The element of natural texture with the wooden handle is a great contrast to the all white, contemporary feel of the rest of the bag.
Oscar de la Renta tasseled beaded silk clip earrings
My obsession with statement earrings is still going strong. The colour and tassels really make this quite the striking piece.
Miu Miu ruffled printed crepe wrap skirt
Great print, great colour and a flattering wrap skirt style make this the ideal piece for dressing up a look during the week or elevating an off duty outfit.
Miu Miu Miu Lady embellished raffia and textured shoulder bag
So much to love about this bag. Only Miu Miu could get away with combining raffia, crystals and gold in the one bag and not have it look like a crazy mess but a picture of perfection.
Alexandre Birman Jessica bow-embellished velvet sandals
Autumn/winter is the perfect time to embrace luxe textures such as velvet. The colour of this would really make an outfit pop.
Johanna Ortiz Toluca cropped bow-embellished striped linen top
I would layer this under a jacket and pair it with a high waisted skirt or pant. The bow is a sweet finishing touch.
Alexander McQueen high rise ruffled detailed tiered embellished skirt
This is a dream piece but I couldn’t go past the confection of frills. It’s what statement skirt dreams are made of.
