Burda Magazine September 2011

The last Burda Magazine I bought was May I think, and I was only attracted to a couple patterns (actually, this one is the whole reason I bought the issue).

I was just looking at the September Issue (the burda one, not the other one, hehe), and for once I thought some patterns looked interesting.

I especially like this one:

It looks so simple but smart, I could pair this with at least half of my wardrobe...

the dress made with the same neckline is certainly interesting and would be worth closer study I think.

This jacket looks effortless and with the right fabric, quite chic. Even with a nice drapy jersey for a more casual feel (and I'm a sucker for super-long sleeves).

The jumpsuit is also interesting. I've been considering making one lately, but it could be such a hit and miss affair, I would have to be really attracted by the pattern..

I find this picture quite...wrong (the colors, the styling, it looks so dated and... blah), but I like the jacket's wide "lapels" that turn into the raised collar when zipped up.

This dress is definitely cute, although it doesn remind me of patterns from earlier issues that I already own.

This coat is cute too (but maybe that's just the model's haircut distracting me)

And this top could be kind of cool in the right contrasting material...
