In My Bathroom: Freda Coat

Oh Boy...

Since buying this charcoal, cashmere-mix, double breasted coat/jacket by Freda, I can honestly say it has been on my shoulders for the past three months. I had a bad dream that I had worn it so much it had gone bobbly and there were holes all over it... alas I awoke to find it was okay. More than okay, fan-bloody-tastic. How can a coat this simple and actually quite mannish be such a winner? The answer lies in the simplicity. It goes with EVERYTHING in my wardrobe, it adds structure to any outfit and most importantly it is neither black, nor grey but a charcoal hybrid. It's love. Please stay with me forever, dear coat. I can't find the exact model for you unfortunately and the cuts of the one's I can find aren't quite as cool but check out other styles HERE.

Step Back

...In time, to days gone by...

And exquisite treasures you will find...

But why the need for all this rhyme?

I just don't know. Let's have a lime.

No idea why I just did that. Vintage Louis Vuitton and Gucci bags and Ferragamo pumps all from the marvelous Deuxieme.

Dog's Collar

'Love'

...just doesn't cut it. I POSITIVELY ADORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE THIS BLOUSE. The collar makes you feel as though you are the pollen and the shirt is the flower (although that analogy makes me feel incredibly allergic, eye drops anyone? HATTTCHHHHEWWWW) This was a present from the best boyfriend in the world from the best shop in the world. CHECK it out (whoever can't spot the pun loses)

That's the hit of the whole fruit right there...

Deuxieme has a vintage section now and this  zingy coral beauty ground down my resistance until alas...it was MINE. ALLLLL MIIIIIINE. The cut is INCRED. It skims off the shoulder and is so figure hugging. The pockets on the hips give the illusion of mad men curves and the silk embroidery all over it could not be found on today's slap bang, disposable clothes. Now it must be said,  I am not the biggest fan of vintage. Places like Beyond Retro make me want to live in a white room with nothing in it, urgh, the CHAOS dears, and that musty smell. Oh and the arrogant LOSERS who work there and think part of their job description is to be a moody POSER. I hate my job but I'm so cool,WAWAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....that kind of irritating behaviour. While I'm on the subject I'd like to make the point that Pret A Manger have THE best staff in the UK, consistently. A delight every time. That is all i want to say really.

PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST Tonight  I'm off to The Jamboree for their gypsy music night. Wahoooooo Check it out here YO: http://jamboreevenue.co.uk/archives/338
