It's mid-October and we are truly into Autumn now.
The weather's been mild and recently I was distracted by Paris Fashion Week and the Spring/Summer 2018 collections. I did love the water inspired theme at CHANEL. Against a background of waterfalls and trees, Karl Lagerfeld presented some really pretty Spring/Summer clothes, protected from the wet environment by hats, little capes and thigh high boots, all made of transparent plastic. Glass and pearl jewellery, especially those waterdrop earrings, completed the beautiful, glistening effect.
The LOUIS VUITTON collection was my other favourite. A seventeenth-century dungeon was the setting for a surprising theme that teamed modern streetwear (nylon boxer shorts and sneakers) with eighteenth-century style men's brocade jackets. I thought it worked very well!
Now it's back to Autumn and I did manage to do a thorough wardrobe edit. I've begun to think about some new season's pieces and added a few basic updates:
What's next on the list? I'm thinking dark floral and some new boots - maybe trendy sock boots/kitten heels/black suede or satin?
