I have my eye on some suede Fly boots.
I am seeking some brown tweedy trousers.
Like the Joules tank top.

Still considering a navy Burberry peacoat.
Possibly tall mahogany boots.

After reading the Doc Martens thread I want a new pair or three of those.

Some brown leather boots as well.

Just bought this jacket to wear with skinny jeans & boots when it gets a bit cooler. Don't think it will be warm enough for cold days though.

I'd also like a blazer and some slouchy jumpers from Zara.

I've got at the thread at the moment with what I want for Autumn. Other than that, I'd quite like a parka too.

And so far, I've bought several new scarves and a grey studded slouchy t-shirt.

Zwitterion · 27/08/2012 21:23

I've just bought a warm and waterproof coat - Merrell Quinley. It's down and very snug, though not exactly stylish.

Want some tan ankle boots too - possibly brogues.

A slouchy sweater with some kind of sparkly shit going on. Sequins or sparkly yarn.

Some lace shorts (navy I think). Or poss a lace pencil skirt.

A small tan cross body bag. I've had a pleather one for a year and love it so want to upgrade.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 27/08/2012 21:24

I can write in sentences really - just not then! Oops.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 27/08/2012 21:25

I saw a gorgeous navy lace skirt today but can't remember where. It might have been French Connection.

MarshaBrady · 27/08/2012 21:27

Boots - ankle or knee high
Pea coat
Maybe black skinnies
Jumper

Zwitterion · 27/08/2012 21:30

Meggles76 · 27/08/2012 22:15

Grey cashmere crewneck

Black leather biker jacket

I have already started my autumn shopping with the following:

UnrequitedSkink · 27/08/2012 22:30

Navy pea coat (and I thought I was being original with this, but obv not, so where did everyone else get the idea?!), berry/forest skinnies, a trench, and a couple of cashmere thin v-neck jumpers to wear over pinstripe shirts. Oh, and a statement jewelled necklace. Which I can't find anywhere.

AmberNectarine · 27/08/2012 22:55

Leopard print cords (Current Elliott)
Star print skinnies (also CE)
Statement jumper (Sandro or Maje)
Brogue ankle chelsea boots (R&B, unless I rob a bank in which case Balenciaga)
A lovely slinky dress.
A wool coat. Have seen nothing I like yet.

HoopDePoop · 27/08/2012 22:56

A black edgy hooded coat (have thread with no replies so if you've seen one.. Thanks )

Uniqlo grey skinny cords
Two pairs of leather banana flats from Gap in tan and black
Black skinny jeans with zips from Karen Millen

HoopDePoop · 27/08/2012 22:58

overthemill · 27/08/2012 23:41

can i hijack and ask any of you that have actually been to zara recently, which of the slouchy sweaters you recommend? can't get out (am ill) and doing shopping online only. I want something soft, cosy and at least mid thigh, not fitted at all. it has to go over yoga trousers/leggings for hospital...
loving your suggestions and recommend zara website for some great tops ( in RL it is a great fave)
