Bronze, silver, gold, sequin,crystals & diamonds – all the girls best friends. Metallics are a hot trend this season. Mix it up with different fabrics such as denim, leather, knits & jersey, and you are to hot to trot.

Don’t get me wrong – I absolutely adore Balmains’ rock & roll style. If I had the equity needed in order to acquire one of their pieces, believe me, I would adopt them ALL! But still, I just can’t help feeling a bit disappointed by their ss 2011 collection .Is it just me, or have we seen it all before?!?

Here are a few pictures from the collection. Have a look and make up your own mind

Summer is my favorite season – but NOT when it comes to fashion. The summer collections are often quite similar, and predictable – so when other people plan their summer must-haves, I begin to dream of and plan my autumn/winter wardrobe.

This season I have fallen in love with quite a few items, but the ones that I predict will be the absolute must-haves for fall 2010 are especially the statement jackets and coats.

The jackets are preferably in the leather aviator style with an oversized collar, and the coats in military style or the simple male shaped also with the over exaggerated collar. The fabrics are often in either leather or fur and the colors range from camel,charcoal or in very bright alarming colours.

If I were to choose it’d have to be the aviator jacket from Burberry Prosum and as for the statement coat I would go for the one from Chloé.

Which jacket / coat will you go for this fall?
