With autumn weather already making its mark, it is time to update our wardrobe with transseasonal pieces for the cooler months ahead. A change in season means that the regular sales are back, with Camilla and Marc and Dion Lee leading this week's charge.
Sales Guide
Paddington Town Hall has become a hub for big Australian designer sales so it's no surprise that Camilla and Marc are next on the calendar. The label is renowned for contemporary designs, flattering silhouettes and attention to detail, and its sale will give shoppers 75 per cent off past-season styles and rare one-off samples. If the Camilla sale last weekend was anything to go by, prepare to queue.

Just Launched: Minkpink's Beauty and the Beast Capsule Collection
Have you ever dreamed of owning the wardrobe of a Disney princess? Well, be the guest of Australian brand Minkpink who has released a 31-piece collection inspired by the release of the forthcoming live-action film Beauty and the Beast.
The contemporary street style pieces showcase movie motifs including intricate roses, stained glass window prints and the brand's own interpretation of Belle's iconic sunshine yellow ballgown. The prices of the collection range from $49.95-$149.95.
Founding Director Rachel Evans said that the project happened because there was an instant connection between the Minkpink girl and Belle's traits including courage, independence and confidence.
It's for the "woman that isn't afraid to go against the crowd, and a woman who is the master of her own happily- ever-after," Evans said about the collection, which includes denim and sleepwear among the usual wardrobe basics.

#inthecart: Metallics
Metallics have been a fashion fixture for the past few years, and if the Oscars and every Fashion Week is anything to go by, the trend isn't going anywhere yet. Pieces with futuristic metallic accents are ideal to add interest to your wardrobe for the transseasonal months ahead.
If you need some inspiration, think Katy Perry at London Fashion Week or Nicole Trunfio and Halle Berry's disco-esque vibes at the Vanity Fair Oscars party. Locally, Jennifer Hawkins stunned on Myer's latest runway in a Toni Maticevski gown that resembled a delicate foil wrapper. To work the trend every day opt for pleated skirts, jackets and shoes that will help you shine subtly. Otherwise opt for a shimmering statement dress for your next big event.
