Trends for Autumn green leafs and shiny copper

Trends for Autumn

The chair by Ikea is a proper head turner. It’s a super cosy armchair, in a striking print. It’s on my wish list but it will set you back £300 -which is a lot taking the make into consideration. Nevertheless -it’s bang on trend this season!
“When I designed STOCKHOLM high back armchair I was inspired by classic wing chairs and wanted to create one that was generous and inviting, without taking much space.”
Designer Henrik Preutz, for Ikea.

Also worth taking a closer look at is the soft leather bag, by new Norwegian designer Ébeth.

Combined with the strong copper interior trend this autumn, we’ve allowed us selves to be inspired…

Leather! This seasons hottest trend, by Munthe plus Simonsen AW13

This season must have is leather, as in everything from coats and boots to skirts and shorts. The trend is to mix and match different types and colours, throw in some fur details or chunky knits, add silk or prima cotton next to skin for a feminine touch and you are set for the colder months ahead.

Munthe plus Simonsen has embraced the new trend, with a laid-back glam attitude and a edgy touch.

Eclectic and chic womenswear by M. Wiesneck from Copenahagen

She studied at Chambre Syndicale de Haute Couture Parisienne before working for top designer labels such as Christian Lacroix and Cacharel among others. In 1992 Michala was head hunted by Inwear / ICcompany Group. She stayed their for 10 years before being the creative force behind Day Birger et Mikkelsen for another 8 years.

How to wear a oversized sweater -and stay chic and cosy!

Challenge: One oversized chunky knit sweater, Essie Kid in Light grey by Acne Studios for Autumn Winter 2013.
acne_studios_essie_kid_light_greyacne_studios_fall_winter_2013_knitwear

A beautiful oversized sweater is the perfect wardrobe statement when the days are getting colder and darker.
I originally received Essie Kid sweater as a gift, in size small. I’m 1.75m (5.8) tall and an average size 12. Without doubt I’m clearly a size Medium, at the least. So back in the shop, returning from the fitting room with a size medium, the shop assistant asked “How did it fit?” “Oversized!”, I replied, with a happy smile. She looked dissapointed, “So it didn’t fit?” “Uh… It’s meant to be oversized…”
Well funny shop assiants stories asaide and on with the task, how to wear a oversized sweater?

Solution: There are simple rules to follow. First off all, you need to find the right size. The sweater should end where your bum ends. No shorter, no longer than that. Wear your oversized sweater with simple monochrome trousers or leggings, so your sweater will be what catches the eye. Similar dark boots, ankle or knee is what you need to complete your outfit. A statement necklace or a beautiful scarf is also nice accessories, together with leatherbag matching your boots.

Here’s a few images, for your inspiration, on how to wear a oversized sweater in a fashionable and feminine way.
