It’s that time of the month again where I list my top 20 items that I’m currently craving! For August, I’m almost ready to get excited about Autumn clothing and I will be honest, I have already purchased a couple of the sweaters above and the bomber jacket below, just in time for when it cools down so that I’m prepared. You probably already know that Autumn is my favourite time of year and even though I’m not done with Summer yet (I’m still enjoying it to the maximum), I can’t help but get excited for the new season!

I’ve chosen a lot of pieces which are quite muted in colour, along the grey, black, cream and olive lines, but I have also included a few pops of colour here and there. I’m definitely into oversize and crop knits that I can pair with high waisted jeans and over the knee boots. The two knee high boots that I included from Daniel Footwear are just perfect for that! I can only imagine how gorgeous they would look! I’ve also got a major crush on that MCM cross body bag with the rabbit on it! Isn’t it just adorable? I can’t help but keep the tab open on it.

Speaking of bags though, I have some exciting news to share with you on Shopbop! Starting from today until August 20th, they have 20% off of their classic bag collection! Just use the code INTHEBAG at the checkout to receive the discount. I’ve included quite a few bags in my wish list here from the classics section, but if you want to check it out in full, click here to do so. So, out of all the pieces listed here in my fashion wish list, which do you love the most? Comment and tell me! I’d also love to know what is on other fashion bloggers wish lists too! Anything exciting?

    Autumn is my favourite time of year too. 🙂 This is mostly because it’s the season which has temperatures closest to my personal comfort levels – and there are, of course, beautiful seasonal colours in nature. Also, I like the darker evenings. 🙂

    Though I have to say that I wish the clothes shops wouldn’t switch to their autumn stock quite as early as they do. I’m very comfortable in the autumn climate so I still like to wear my summer clothes well into autumn because I’m still feeling pretty warm in shorts and short sleeved shirts when most people are starting to shiver a little. 😀 I generally don’t want to buy autumn clothes until winter – and then it’s too late because all the spring stuff is there instead. Oh, I’m just weird I suppose… 😉

    Nice selection you’ve picked anyway. Those jeans at 4 in the top panel are very pretty and the shoes at 7 in the bottom panel are intriguingly odd. 🙂

      You are right! When you work in the design industry though, you are 3 seasons ahead, at the very least 2! So when I designed jeans before for brands, it took an entire year for them to be released lol! So really, it’s slow to hit shops if you look at it that way! I think the silver shoes are really cool, but I do love the grey wash on those J Brand jeans! 😀

        Yeah, I suppose as a designer the waiting must be quite tiresome if you know you’ve created something great but the public won’t see it for ages? Though I guess you probably just have to develop and maintain a different mindset and patience- unless you already naturally have those qualities? 🙂

        Hmm, it’s very interesting to read your comments. That’s given me a different perspective to think about. I’d never much thought of the frustrations of the designers. Just the frustrations of the customers. 😀

        I was trying to shop for shorts on Sunday. I didn’t think that was an unreasonable thing to do mid August but it seems I was wrong. 😉 I don’t yet know what autumn clothes I want to buy this year – and I certainly can’t impulse buy autumn clothes in the present warm weather. lol

          You might need to start shopping ahead then! Ha ha 😀 Topman still have some shorts in store, I’ve seen them. They are what Adam wears quite frequently so maybe check in there! I guess you just learn to be patient and wait, but it can be tiresome once the designs finally get released and you are bored of them already and working on the next season! That much is true!

    I love the number 5 on the first picture, a very nice sweater for the coming autumn. 😉
