It’s September! THE most important fashion month has kicked off and I like to think that after a rather unspectacular summer there is a golden fall waiting for me:-). To be all set for that particular case I have put together a list of things that I just NEED (apart from the red Chanel 2.55 which proves to be a difficult mission…). Be inspired!

So here’s what!

The BASICS:

1. The Camel coat (boyfriend cut and perfect length at Topshop)

2. A Theory silk shirt (can’t live without it!)

3. Red ankle-length denim (See by Chloé via Yoox but you can also try the Zara ones for cheap-and-chic alternative!)

The ACCESSORIES (a little more since I believe in ‘Eat Pray Accessorize’):

1. YSL Tribute sandals (to be worn with ripped socks. Sigh! If only they weren’t so damn expensive!)

2. Mulberry Alexa bag in black (I didn’t like th black but now I think it’s the only I won’t get tired of all too soon)

3. Vintage YSL bracelet (try Kaplan at Matches!)

4. Ray Ban Clubmaster sunnies (a cool classic)

5. A brown belt that I can tie around any random outfit (via H&M – I love their online-store for hassle-free basics shopping)

I love the idea of spicing up last year’s simple dark coat with all kinds of military inspired embellishments.

But it also works on the new season’s key piece the Camel coat! 

So, better start searching your favourite vintage stores or local flea markets for old brooches and medals to create your very unique military look for this fall.
