Thoughts on Autumn / Winter 2009

I'm seeing it all over again. Summer stuff is going on sale and the first of the new season stock is making it's way into stores. Being in the UK and Europe for Autumn / Winter 08 before the cold seasons hit Australia has its perks. Pretty much all the trends over there for their previous season has made it's way down under and is surfacing to take over stores nationwide.

Here's my pick for what's going to make it in Oz for Autumn / Winter 09.

- check / tartan / plaid
- skinny black jeans
- oversized tee's (rocker prints) and knits
- military style boots and jackets
- leather
- layers - clothes and jewelery
- gothic chic
- 80s inspired looks
- berets
- converse
- dr martens
- patterned boho scarfs
- black tights

and last but not least....

wayfarers!

Now, my picks could be wrong of course and bias as to what I prefer but these picks have come from spending 6 months abroad in the cold months. Take it or leave it. I'm just lucky I won't have to vastly change my wardrobe this season as I've brought everything back from Europe!
