ZARA / F/W Wish-List

It has been a while since I have done a feature on ZARA and what better way to get back into the swing of things with a feature on my Fall/Winter wish-list from ZARA, one of my favourite stores, as you all know.
For this F/W I will be looking to knitwear, the perfect tailored coat, masculine silhouettes, classic black, soft greys, burgundy and neutrals as my main wardrobe staples to see me effortlessly through the season.
Luckily for me everything I am looking for can be found at ZARA, especially the perfect tailored coat, which is one thing each season I am guaranteed to find at ZARA. You can not fault their great tailoring and fit. I am not even going to point out favourites in my selections because basically they are all favourites and I want each one as much as the next.
So lets get down to it- here's my ZARA wish-list for this season.

On My Mind / Sophie Bille Brahe Jewellery

When it comes to style and fashion, one of my main passions is jewellery. I have a rather extensive collection of all kinds of jewellery that is always being added to even though I am running out of space to keep everything stored neatly and easily accessible, but that doesn't stop me buying more!
I don't have a particular style when it comes to buying jewellery it usually just comes down to the fact if it stands out to me, and I like it, I get it. As of late though, I have a soft spot for the more delicate, simple pieces of jewellery, those pieces that can be worn every day that aren't too showy, but have enough charm and beauty to bring an outfit together.
Which brings me to this post- Sophie Bille Brahe is a very talented jewellery designer who creates these beautifully simple, modern and striking pieces that I love so much at the moment. She has made me fall in love with pearls by creating pieces that bring the pearl into the modern world giving it a fresh, modern new look which completely disgards the 'old fashioned' reputation that pearls tend to have.
 Here are some of my favourite pieces by Sophie Bille Brahe -
 
'Croissant de Lune Rebelles' earcuff

'Dauphin Etoile' earring

'Deesse Petite Perle' bracelet

'Croissant de Perle' earcuff

'Reve Diamant' earcuff

'Double de Perle' ring

'Flacon de Neige' earring

'Flacon Diamant' earring

'Lisa Grand' ring

'Lulu Claire' earring

'Lyra' ring

'Lulu Perle' earring

'L'Ocean Etoiles' earring

'Ocean' ring

'Petite Croissant de Lune' earring

'Pleine de Lune Grand' ring

'Elipse Gris' earring

Sneaker-Head

I am a bit of a sneaker-head I have to admit, I always have been and probably always will be, so I was pretty happy when in recent seasons when they became extremely popular in the fashion world and it became acceptable to wear sneakers with pretty much anything (yay!).
 I am currently on the hunt for a new pair of sneakers,  I have Nike in my mind as the brand to go to this time, but I also have my eye on a few other different pairs that I also like- decisions, decisions!
Here are the one's that have caught my eye -
 
NIKE Air Max Thea Jacquard in Dark Grey/White/Metallic Silver/Black.

NIKE Free Flyknit Chukka in Black/White/Fuchsia Force/Bright Mango.

NIKE Free 5.0 in Black/Anthracite/White.

ADIDAS ORIGINALS Superstar II.

ISABEL MARANT Étoile Bart sneakers.

LANVIN Suede high-top slip-on sneakers.

ADIDAS ORIGINALS Gazelle OG.


NEW BALANCE 1320.
