I was just flipping through british Vogue and apparently the Gap over there will have a version of the jodhpurs....see this article.

thank you!

 

[cric-croc]

well, I am after :

a pair of black biker boots- since i am petite i need to find a pair that doesnot make me look shorter than i already am!

a pair of black latex leggings/trousers- i don t like the AA ones, might need to search in sex shops

some native american and mexican inspired jewellery

a latex blazer- i think Chanel did some years ago and i would like to find something similar...this aw07 i would love to pair strong pices with more femminine and delicate ones

should you know where i can find any of the above, pleasegive me a shout x

vests

wool pants, because I think I have been wearing only heavy linen or cotton these last several winters. so I already ordered one pair four months ago.

zip-up leather jacket from rip van winkle, if it fits me

 

[softgrey]

runner-
i do think that this fall there will be lots of good vest options for men...

it seems to be the year of the vest in menswear somehow...
i am seeing more and more...

what colour is the rip van winkle leather jkt?...blk?...

what about tall leather boots?...did you ever get those?...are you still thinking of getting them>?

i have always been partial to the frye engineer motorcycle boot...
it doesn't come too high so it's good if you are petite...
very cute...imo...

latex leggings- i don't know sex shops in london...but i do think that is your best bet if you don't like the AA ones..
though i also saw some in H&M this weekend..so maybe try there too?...

Cool to see what everyones buying this season!
I would like a pair of lace-up booties, and though I love the spectactorish detailing on many of them, I already got the color-block Miu Miu spectactor pump! You don't want too much of a good thing! What I've really got my eye on is this pair of Marnis...I love the silvery wedge heel!

Also, someone posted the orange patent Dries Van Notens with the curved heel and zipper...I've been thinking about those too. Even with a just a slim light wash jean, I think they would look so cool.
Surprisingly I'm looking for a pair of straight leg (not skinny mind you) faded jeans that are preferably super distressed. I hate how snobbish everyone gets about their denim: "Only dark washes in a slim cut!!! No pocket detailing!!!" arrrgh I mean you need to have one pair like that, but why not have fun with your denim? What I'm really lusting after is a pair of tie- dyed/bleached Habitual jeans....which I can't seem to find anywhere

I see everyone has a structured skirt on their list! I'm with you guys, I need one too. It's an impossible dream but I have a major clothes-crush on a swingy leather Christopher Kane one. Another thing I'm looking out for: the perfect vintage crinoline, to wear as outerwear with my mom's vintage studded Sigerson Morrison belt.
As always, I need more tights! They are my obsession! I bought a pair of Jeffrey Campbell lace up booties that are a total knock off of the Balenciaga ones and I am going to wear them with my new turqoise tights, like the little Ghesquiere sl*t I am. I have no shame!
Also looking for a high collared plaid button down, to wear with a pair of vintage highwaisted bell bottomed levis I have!
I love the idea of lingerie as outwear, but I can't find anything small enough for my double a boobies!!! A black lacy bralette would be so great!

after looking around for flats, i realize they are not a good investment so i brought a pair of flat short ankle boots instead.

im also debating whether i should get these boots for fall since im looking for a pair of leather tall boots with heels. but these have no heel and alot of people have these boots

OMG those black ankle boots are f***ing rockin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Fuuma]

Future buys:

-Wrinkled Junya Watanabe jacket from S/S08, not set on colour, might be checkered, light grey or the usual black

-Another pair of slim black pants, probably by Carol Christian Poell, I might also feel wilder and get a pair of low-crotch Label Under Construction pants.

-An ornate silver ring. I should scour for antiques or maybe get an Ugo Cacciatori or Shaun Lean one.

-New plain white tees and v-necks (I've found an interesting source, I'll see in a few weeks).

That's pretty much it although since I don't really have holes in my wardrobe I might just pick any design that takes my breath away. I'm really feeling Lanvin sportscoats and tuxedos right now but I don't really need new ones and already got what I really liked from the label (my favourite item=the wrinkled tuxedo jackets).

jane loves marc, you have amazing style and great ideas... those marni's are on my must have too.

What a wonderful thread!

Although heeled and wedge oxfords are the shoe of the season, I'm craving a pair of flat oxfords, like the ones at Margaret Howell, to wear with tights and skirts. I'd love to own a pair of hers, but alas, I do not have access to this brand. I'll be checking N.D.C. probably.

I'm also thinking about getting a pencil skirt. But not to wear in a ladylike, 40's way. I want a pair to wear with flat boots and cozy knits, like at Sari Gueron. So that probably means it'll have to be a bit looser, a bit longer. I have a pair of Ann D. flat boots from a few seasons ago, but I'm suddenly feeling like they look too clunky for me. I actually have my eyes on a pair from JCrew, but I'll have to see them in person to decide.

And not from this season, but I just bought a Dries skirt from F05, and it has me thinking how beautiful that season was!

I haven't really figured out the pants thing for fall ... I don't think I will get a pair of wide leg pants. It might be a skirt season for me.

I didn't get the riding boots after all.
I'm still thinking though.
yes the jkt is black, matte and on the off black side.
there is no pic of it, but here are the wool pants. the texture is yummy.

fall 07: dkny

fall '07 marc by marc fall '07: oscar de la renta

fall '07: matthew williamson

fall 07 max azria

these are among my favorite looks for fall. i really would like black/charcoal/gray knit tights paired with mid calves boots or flats. also long tops that double up as dresses that you can pair with the knit tights or skinny jeans. i love the layering aspects of the pieces as well. on irina- i love how the boots are so much bigger and clunkier and contrast with the skinny silhouette of the slim tights. but then it is bulkier on top too. dkny and marc by marc just make me think of paris and i will be living there next year and these looks i see myself wearing in the winter there. sooo excited for fall fashion!

 

[tourist10]

rami - lucky you to be living in Paris next year! I'm extremely jealous. Based on your picks, I think you will look absolutely adorable

aris - love the YSL! too bad they are too high for me.

laika - your Isabel Marant pictures has me looking back at that collection. I don't know if I feel comfortable wearing a full mini-skirt, but I do know that I want to be wearing combinations of deep navy, drab olive green, and greys with bronze/gold jewelry and warm brown leather shoes!!
