[Trends] My pre-fall wishlist

I know it may seems a little early at a weather point of view to start drafting a pre-fall wishlist, but believe me, by the time the temperature goes down, you may find a lot of stuff you like would be out of stock.  And I reckon it is worth to know the trend before doing any actual shopping, so I would be better prepared when refreshing my closet :)

So these are some of my picks for the coming season:


Purple
There have been saying that purple has become the new black in this coming season.  I have not been a fan of purple, I am more of a navy-blue fan.  But I am certainly open up for more different variety of items to my closet :)  And these selections look pretty too!  I wanna get the purple peplum dress so much!

Prints
Speaking of prints, my closet is overloaded with floral-print items...and they are perfectly for winter as well, but this print-items fantasy for me has slowly changed to more different variety of prints including paisley and these items below are quite nice to have, especially the pants from club monaco, which looks perfectly with a navy blazer (tempting to copy that to my office outfit inspiration)

Lace
Lace items have continued to shine throughout the season, and with more different styles and items, these three below are my choices for autumn and is suitable for different occasions too :)

Leather
Leather items are always a hit in winter, I used to have a leather jacket only but this autumn/ winder I would love to try other kind of leather appeal as well!  I want to get a leather shorts or skirt, and just by thinking I have already come up with a few different combinations that can go with leather bottom!

 As sidetrack, I ran into this pair of wedges when I was browsing the club monaco fall list.  It was absolutely stunning!  So chic and so stylish :)  Too bad that I can't see it in store yet and it may not last very long as it's going to turn cold in a one or two months...

Hope you guys like my share above.  Also let me know if you have anything in mind that you are definitely gonna get this autumn!

[Feature] The Working Lady outfit

As said before, I have recently changed my job, well it has been three months already but I am still not totally used to it yet...the working hour is longer and is further away from my home, therefore I have to get up early and back home later than before

But I got more to learn than before and for long term speaking, this job will enrich me a lot more than my previous ones, therefore I am slowly getting use to the big changes in working style and atmosphere

The reason of talking all these about my new job is that I want to reveal that I got less time in picking and matching clothes in the morning and I have to get more spot on with my outfit in the morning since there is no time for me to keep changing for another outfit.

So I want to share some of the inspirations or items that I am thinking to get as my working outfit:

1.  One piece
My top choice would definitely be wearing one-piece, honestly it is very time-efficient and good to establish a "formal look" for work.  "One piece" is an item that is forever on my wish list.  I love shopping in Zara as they got various elegant clothes with different styles and are quite price-friendly too :)

2.  Blazer
Blazer or not depends on the weather, I have a couple of blazers in my wardrobe but all are for Autumn/ Winter as Hong Kong can get as hot as Thirty something Degree Celsius in Summer.  Also it really depends on the environment at your office, whether there is strong air-con or not

3.  Tweed Jacket
Apart from blazer, tweed jacket is also good at keeping a formal look, it may sound very winter, but nowadays the texture is somehow different and cooler than those winter version and also look very elegant

4.  Shirt
At my point of view, shirt is one of the essence in creating an elegant work outfit, and my favourite is definitely white shirt.  Frankly speaking, I have at least half a dozen of white shirts in my closet (but of coz in different style!) But that can match well with skirt or trousers, cardigan or blazer too

Here are some inspirations on working outfits, although I know it actually depends on the company culture on whether these are appropriate or not, but I still love these combinations :)  Work is sometimes stressful enough, and why not cheer up yourself by wearing something fashionably nice and elegant?
That's one of my philosophy too :P  I would normally be happier and tougher when I wear something pretty to keep me stay in a good mood :)
How about you guys?
