Mod
Blouses
Capes
Vests

[bellavita]

I haven't even really decided yet.. it's still in the works.

Yes to:

-a romantic/Gothic feel.

-various shades of purple, grey, teal, and mossy greens.
-agreeing on texture. Lots of mixing and matching of texture for a ton of depth and interest.

-Victorian.. but not high-collared Victorian. More the lace and flow of it.

-hints from Equestrian.. some riding boots would be fab.

-random hints of glitz and glamour. A sheer scarf studded with sequins? Yes. Muted metallic flats? Yes.

-monochromatic 60's mod. Black and white.

-Cropped jackets and cardigans.


Can't work with:
-Military

-skinny jeans.. agreeing. They're awful and a total over-in-a-season trend I think.

-Russian.

[tricotineacetat]

I´m going for an exagerated elegance this fall with heavily textured fabrics - very skinny black velvet pants, shimmering satin (tuxedo jacket), washed-down cottons and cozy, oversized knits. It´s so exciting to play around with shiny and matte surfaces this season, all-black doesn´t seem boring anymore with all the different fabrics...!

I will definitely accessorize with skarves this time, I´ve got a very long, fringed skarf in a dark plum and another in dark brown with big fringes all over that almost looks like a fur, to be fastened with a big safety pin (from Y´s) ...

 

[Wafaya]

post pics everyone.. would love to see inspiration pieces for fall

 

[indie]

BEATNIKS ! I love that.

we dont have to look the same after all
if it wasnt for Sienna, i'd also do the millitary/brass jacket myself i'm still tempted, its only the snob in me that hesitates
