Chanel and Burberry Prorsum Pre-Fall 2009 collections

The collection's theme "Paris-Moscow" was very present it all the looks presented. Overall I didn't like the collection that much - it was way too costume-y for my taste. A lot of the pieces looked over the top (and I am not talking about the head pieces ;)) and not at all flattering. But despite all this I found some looks very appealing. It all reminded me of fairytale ice princesses and the head pieces had a great show factor. They reminded me of how I loved to drape jewelry all over my head and face when playing dress up a kid ^o^

summer sun

I know it's not even winter yet so light summer dresses, shorts and tank tops are not really on my mind.
Yet I have to get myself into a summery mood because I will be going some place very very warm right after Christmas. I'm headed to...*drum roll*...Australia!
This means I soon will have to pack my luggage. But right now all I want to wear is heavy knit wear, scarfs, gloves, tons of layers and boots. Not really suitable for 30° - 40°C =( I really need some inspiration on what to wear in that heat. I always find dressing in summer a bit difficult because everything feels too hot yet you don't wanna walk around half naked. But I'm really excited to be going there, it's actually nice to escape the cold and wet Swiss winter for a while. There will still be enough cold days left when I get back ;)
