Shiver me coat.

May 9, 2012

Ok so the title of this post makes no sense. I can’t even blame it on me being drunk, because i’m not. Oh well.

I just wanted to show you my new winter coat that i’m so super chuffed with. I bought it from good old Country Road yesterday and it’s everything that I want in a coat. Good material. Navy. Wooden buttons. Hooded. Warm and the best part is it’s never going to form those little round balls of material that make things look like they came out the bottom of a bargain bin in Boksburg.

This is the first ever proper good quality coat I have ever purchased, which is weird, seeing as i’m alsmost 480 years old in dog years. Wowzers.

I’ve been looking around for coats, if you are interested Forever New and Zara have some goodies…

Ok i’m off to Parys for the afternoon. Going antique shopping. High-5 to the life of a freelancer slash unemployed. Oh boy.

    So, Parys. Jealous.

    Coat. Jealous. (but with the warm spells we’ve been having in the Burg lately? ish.)

    Forever New. Yeah. That’s a pipeline dream for me.

    How do you know it won’t get ballies? I hate those things but I get them on everything from polyester to wool 🙁 If you go to Parys, eat at Hoi Poloi <3
