Well hey there! Long time no talk :)

I've been quite M.I.A., yes, but I suddenly felt the need for a blog post today since there's so much talk about fall fashion.

Some of the trends according to glamour.com: winter whites, classic patterns, over-the-knee boots, turtlenucks (ew), shades of green, slouchy pants, statement outerwear, folk-inspired pieces (huh?) and rounded shoulders.

Here are some of my purchases made in preparation for this beautiful season.

I'm in love with this item. It's the Haute Houndstooth Coat from Daily Look. It's elegant, the fit is nice, the length is great - I give it a 10 out of 10. AND it covers two of this season's trends: classic pattern and statement outerwear *pats herself on the back*.

Fine-knit Sweater from H&M. Cute, comfy and I'm totally into the length of this sweater. The quilted imitation leather sections on the shoulders make it perfect for fall, giving the sweater that teany bit of edge. Paired with black skinny jeans + biker boots = perfection.

I'll admit, I was definitely not rocking the pastel/colored jeans trend this spring/summer, since my limbs are not as slim as they could or should be. But I'm really loving the dark colored pants for this fall/winter. I bought a pair similar to these but in a darker, hunter green shade.

Gotta have some cute cardigans on hand for some serious layering this season. This one has a fun print, classic colors and will work with a lot of different outfits.

Found this uber cute bow scarf on Daily Look. I couldn't say no - I just love scarves. End of story.

A really great nail polish shade for fall is Chinchilly by Essie. It's elegant, has a bit of edge and just looks pretty. I have it on my talons today and added some tiny pearls for a bit more femininity. Other great shades are: Merino Cool, Lilacism and Going Incognito (fall trend "shades of green", anyone?)

Last but certainly not least, I've got a "Real Deal vs. Steal" for you guys.

 
The purse on top is the Rebecca Minkoff M.A.C. Clutch which sells for $295in the US - the "real deal" if you may. (I've seen this exact bag here in Switzerland selling for 500 Swiss Francs, which is nauseating!) The purse on the bottom is the version I went for from Daily Look, the Sleek Tassle Purse in gray. I'm much happier paying 45 bucks for it and honestly, I think it's a nicer shade of gray AND the faux leather is textured giving it a very elegant look.

Hope you enjoyed this type of fashion post, I know I love seeing what everyone's buying for the new season :)
