Essentials...

Back from vacation and already have the blues....the weather is also playing up.
Imagine coming back from ten perfectly sunny days, with clear blue sea and lovely weather to rainy and cloudy Vienna...ahhhhhh

The shops are already proudly showing the new autumn collection (does not really help me get out of the blues) and since I feel like autum, I am still dying to get my hands on those leather leggings...which by the way I predicted would be a trend already last winter.

So, with that said I found a decent pair that does not cost you an arm and a leg (well maybe just an arm;-)...it is from a brand called ARMA and I would suggest getting a one size smaller then you usually wear.

Last year, I had my eye on over-the-knee boots, but I found it absolutely impossible to find a pair in Vienna. I do have to admit I was very particular what I wanted (hey, I like to invest in a pair that will not end up in basement in a year's time). So, if you do have a chance and some luck go and hunt down a pair (nice would be black suede flats) that will serve you for the seasons to come.

Have you noticed how some trends have just stuck around for years now....for example, platforms, leggings, over-the-knee boots, military jackets/coats (in again!), pencil skirts, big shoulders ala Balmain.....

Speaking of military style, would be wise to invest in a nice coat. I saw the other day some ads for Burberry winter jackets...hmmm

Lisa Ho (Australian Designer)

Burberry

and of course you need something underneath the coats so I would like to get my hands on this dress from Antonio Berardi

Have you noticed I already switched to Autumn....see that is what I mean...I have the blues...and on that note I bid your farewell...till the sun comes out again!

Adieu!
