CHILL IN THE AIR ANYONE?


Am I the only one who has felt a certain chill in the air lately? Winter is certainly looming which means wardrobe dilemma’s in the mornings (should I wear trousers? The weather report did say 27C – but I was freezing in the office yesterday!) to scouring the stores for the IT item that will finish off your winter wardrobe to perfection.

Certain stores have been catching my eye lately on their take on winter trends: Foschini (I love their trendy brights and statement shoulder jackets), Jo Borkett (I saw yesterday their new range of the dress suit available in a variety of colours – perfect to ward off the autumn chill and to look effortlessly chic) and lastly I snuck a peak at Country Road’s look book for winter/autumn 2010 – sheer perfection! (I am biased on this one – I’m known around the office to lust over anything from Country Road!) If you love Country Road and Trenery as much as I do – they’re having their sale on now !

TREND ALERT – TRENCH COATS
I trawl shopping malls nearly every day when I’m sourcing for the fashion pages of woman&home… One trend that is very dominant and perfect for the coming autumn is the illustrious trench coat. In palatable beige, belted and with a chic cut – your autumn come winter wardrobe will be hassle-free with this little number!

It’s wearable, chic and polished – to be thrown on over a pair of trousers or jeans when you’re hurrying out the door. What makes it even better is the temperature factor: it’s not too warm as a winter coat is nor too light to freeze in the early morning chill. That’s what I call a good buy! I saw Jean Paul Gaultier’s take on the classic recently on the catwalks…

Visit Urban Degrees, Hilton Weiner and Country Road to get your hands on their version of this great buy!
