Oh gosh sweetie, I haven't done much looking on fall fashions at all other than a few shows. I'm so fixated on Spring. But I realize that in the southern hemisphere, you're ready for fall now. So, I checked out a few sites to see what was happening. this is pretty abbreviated but might help:

* animal prints seem to still be kinda hot, but also florals

* sweater dresses seem to be big, especially with lots of details like florals and ruffles

* capelets in wool or cashmere also seem to be big. You can wear them with denim or khaki pants or even a short pencil skirt. Purples and browns are big colors

* red, purple, dark green and teal are big colors

*

This youtube clip shows some more dressy clothes but the sidebars also have more info. For me, I just can't wait to wear shorts with a new long jacket and sandals :D

Thanks Jackie. This really helps a lot. I am working this weekend but Wednesday I decided I am bunking classes to go Fall shopping:-) SO amped

Oh Isy, sorry I couldn't so more. But I'm still focused on Spring. The one fall collection that I fell in love with was by Valentino. Out of our price range, but we can drool anyway:
