Statement coats at Net-A-Porter

Net A Porter have some gorgeous statement coats in their sale. If I don't track a vintage statement coat down this year, I'm seriously thinking of saving up for one in their sale this time next year. Here are my favourites:

Rick Owens Lilies £276.49

Vivienne Westwood Anglomania £186



McQ £329

Helmut Lang £256.92


A winter coat is a serious investment piece and if looked after can last many years, so although the initial investment may seem steep, the cost per wear will come down quite rapidly!!

For Rainy Days

When the weather is milder and rain is not too far away, then a trenchcoat is a must have.

I picked up this Gap trenchcoat for £5 last spring on Ebay and it is an ideal cover up for showers

Have a great Sunday everyone!!

Thrift Inspiration, doing it the Plaid Way!!

Last spring, I picked up this brushed cotton plaid Topman shirt at Chigwell boot sale for only £1.50, little did I know then that plaid shirts were going to be in trend this winter!

They are a great all year rounder and can be worn as is, or layered over a polo neck for the colder days that are around right now.

Will you be into plaid this winter?

Blue denim waistcoat

Whats on your summer wishlist already, you might give me some more inspiration!!

Couture Carrie has done a fantastic post on the upcoming nautical trend for Summer 09. For me, it is a great trend, ever since I was a girl, its been in and out of style and it is a great summer look.

The Telegraph have put together a lovely ensemble from Prada, APC and Chanel. This is a great outfit, navy jackets and white trousers are a stylish, popular choice to embrace this trend.

I thrifted a lovely George Rech vintage breton style jumper, which I will pair with my white Ralph Lauren jeans this spring and summer-how will you rock this trend?
