Who Has Started Shopping for Fall

[dragonlance]

hey! i think when i hit the summer sales, most of the stufs that i bought are for fall. Loving my blue coat!

I prefer shopping for winter as well, there are more choices for me to layer my clothes and wear more stuff than at summertime.

I can't wait for the fall season as well, even though i'm in Boston. Fall clothes always look so much richer than the spring summer ones. I love dark palette!

So do I, I love dark palette as well and I can't wait for the boots to start hitting the shoe racks. I bought a cord blazer this weekend.

I have my eyes on quite a few pairs of boots...

I have already bought a brown blazer... but am wondering if I should return it...

Also on my list of things to get: a military coat, Balenciaga style

I just bought these way-cool Destroy boots today...can't wait to wear em. its still chilly here in SF, so I can wear them before fall. yay!

i bought my first DVF wrap dress half-off at bloomingdales about a week ago, envisioning wearing it over jeans as well. also bought two pairs of ballet flats. am thinking i will need more beautiful flats, and plan to go vintage shopping in a week. i'm not going over-the-top for fall, i already have so much, it's difficult to think of real gaps in my wardrobe.

I bought a Chloe coat and have a Chanel purse on order. If I had more money available now I would have gallons of Fall season clothes. My wish list is long!

I've ordered my fall bags and shoes and 'statement coat'. I usually get basic pants and skirts from theory and splurge on accessories. I also have a long list but need to pace myself since it is only July.... uh oh

^ oohh I also ordered my two cocktail dresses.. I need to post pics to get opinions. One oscar and one posen (posen is last season but I couldn't resist the 50% DISCOUNT)

I am trying to attach a picture of it but am having trouble. If you go to style.com and look under fashion shows, then fall 2005 oscar de la renta complete collection. It is pic #16.. black w/ purple geometric design and fur trim.. let me know what you think.

What I want for my fall wardrobe is very similar to the rest of the people on this tread! I want a navy blue or black velvet blazer, a great coat (preferably a trench), boots, large bag for school. I definitely agree that fall is best time season for shopping, during the summer I just want to stay home cause its so hot outside.

I started back in March when I pre-ordered a Marc Jacobs brown tweed and velvet ribbon skirt. More recently I got Hollywould brown ponyskin square-toe ballets (with teal, etc. Swarovski decoration), and two silk charmeuse camisoles with scoop necks, bow tie, ruffles, and buttons down the front that kinda evoke the Edwardian thing a bit. I saw them in a catalog and went to the store and tried them on ... was thrilled with the fit! Normally I can never wear anything that buttons down the front as I have a bit more of a figure, but these fit almost like they were made for me--accentuate all the good bits and hide all the flaws! One in ivory, one dark brown.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I would like to find a velvet bag, but they seem to be in short supply.

Here's the shoes (far right, note the cashmere lining, it feels like heaven

I've been rummaging the thrift & vintage shops all summer. There always seems to be a surplus of winter-wear in the warmer months. I think it's just because most people aren't thinking about buying their winter coat in mid June!

I do the same thing, found a vintage red wool military style 3/4 coat w/ black velvet collar looks very similar to one Michael Kors will have out this Fall

I was so close to buying a pair of boots yesterday at Nordstroms, they were on sale too from 100 down to 70.. Now I'm kicking myself for not getting them...

 

[Pastry]

Speaking of boots, has anyone found mens high boots yet? Something in the range of $150-250. I'm from Canada, and you US folk get things first, but I was wandering if any of the common stores have gotten in their winter stock early. Any help greatly appreciated.

I got my piece de resistance today - a wool and mink trench coat from Lanvin in moka and earlier this month I got an elegant LV evening top both from the pre-fall collections. Can't shop now until September - as I have kind of burnt an enormous hole in my purse so to speak! But I plan on buying Cashmere jumpers, jeans and a pair of boots to complete my fall wardrobe. I also have a late October wedding to go to so I will have to pick up something for that but hopefully the high street stores will serve my needs! I don't like spending to much on things I am only going to wear once or twice.

I'm so happy to find this thread -- I basically skip over summer and start waiting for the fall collections to come out starting in March! what's really scary is I've pre-ordered so many things that won't arrive until september that I don't quite remember what I'm getting! but in general:

low heeled boots (I'm dying for these dior brown croc ones)

slouchy boots

a furry (not necessarily real fur) vest

a purple bag (thinking about this one)

a purple coat

a missoni beret
