Autumn Wish List

I'm not entirely sure how this happens, yet every year when Autumn creeps its way upon us, I seem to convince myself that I have nothing seasonally appropriate! I have been lusting over camel coloured long length blazer coats, yet I am still to find one that fits and looks perfect (will I ever?). Zara have brought their A/W offerings, and there are a couple of similar styles that I have been eyeing - purchase pending.
Now if you know me personally, you will be no stranger to my ever growing collection of boots - located in a whole area of their own, my collection now exceeds 15-20 pairs. But this does not stop me from drooling over these beautiful Alexander Wang Anouck jodhpur boots. These boots are slightly higher than ankle length, which I find add so much to an outfit and add both length and sleek shape to the legs, especially when paired with black skinnies. These skinnies with rips at the knees just add a little bit of texture and harshness to the sleekness of a lengthened blazer.
Finally, on my wishlist I have featured this Phillip Lim mini messenger bag - perfect twist to the traditional professional satchel.

What transitional pieces are on your Autumn wishlists?

OOTD

Here's a quick outfit post, featuring my recent Prada purchase from Bicester Village (look a few posts back). We've been holding onto the last few days of summer here in London, so my outfit involved light layering.
As always, I've let the accessories do the talking with this outfit and played around with textures and materials to liven up an all black outfit.
I wore a loose fitting silk-like shirt, similar one here and layered that with my beloved Asos longline chiffon blazer (I've worn this to death, I know).
My trousers are waxed leather effect jeans, purchased from Zara in the sale (unfortunately only available full price now) - identical pair here
As you may know, I am loving the pointy shoe trend that has well and truly made its way back, and these H&M pumps are the perfect day rendition of that sleek heel look - similar style here

What have been your pre-autumn essentials?
