I've been holding off from really immersing myself in thoughts of cold weather clothing...not from any apathy...but because Fall is my favorite time of year and as it's still rather uncomfortably sticky outside I didn't want to raise my hopes of layers, coats, and sweaters when I know it's going to be a while before I can actually wear them.

My good intentions flew out of the window however when I browsed through La Garconne's Fall/Winter virtual lookbook..."The Ensembles: Automne-Hiver"....Les Prairies des Paris' fur-collared coat...Vivienne Westwood's faux-fur Yeti chic number...Acne's knitwear (and season inappropriate cotton skirt)...all have me yearning for a nice Arctic blast (and a massive clothing budget).
