Wrap Up Warm

Coat - Mango Perfecto Effect Coat

It's come to that cold - not quite Christmas time of year. The time of year when you have to stick your toe out from under the duvet before you get up in a morning and start de-icing the car.  It's also the time of year that I go hunting for a new winter coat.

It's not that I need one...it's that I can't resist! They are everywhere! Then when my friend Jenny came for a visit in Liverpool last weekend I knew I had found this year's - from Mango. Jenny was rocking the perfect winter coat. I love how it's smart enough to wear for work thanks to the leather collar and cuffs and still will look good with jeans, winter boots and a big wooly scarf.

What do you think? Am I mad for getting ANOTHER winter coat? Ah well! Wrap up warm and enjoy.

Good Enough To Eat

I don't know what is wrong with me at the moment. I'm OBSESSED with Caramel (or Camel!). It's this season's hottest colour by far now all over The High Street and is good enough to eat. My best Caramel buys have included a lovely warm Betty Jackson at Debenhams Swing Duffel Coat and this Topshop silk shirt. Is it possible that a colour can be considered cosy? Or even tasty? If it is then caramel is the tastiest, cosiest colour around. It seems to work for everyone and dare I say make us all look more sophisticated? Scrumptious!
