Burberry gets Pre-Fall

I often spend a lot of time on blog posts complaining about how pointless I find "pre" collections. However, this is not one of those moments. For the first time I feel like someone has got it. Burberry's Pre-Fall11 collection hits all the right notes. And it does because it includes heavy winter-looking clothes made in lightweight materials, which is the perfect combination to satisfy our needs at the beginning of the autumn season while keeping us happy. We're, then, anticipating the winter season but we can't wear full-on winter wear yet. Burberry proposes an autumnal colour palette that mirrors the colours of the leaves while mixing it up with their staple pieces such as the mac and the trench in bold hues like tangerine or made with new materials.

Cameled

It's annoying that camel has become quite the trend for fw10. And it is because that means that I can easily find lots of coats, jackets and jumpers in this very chic colour but it also means that plenty of other people will be sporting it as well. I have decided it's too hard to resist not to buy and so I will stock up on camel garments this season and keep some of them until next winter when I can wear them regardless of any trends. I loved the photoshoot below because it shows how such a classic hue can become contemporary and young. And that combination of the camel jumper with the leather vest and denim jacket is exactly what I have in mind for this winter.
