A good thing to have in your wardrobe, a military coat. This one’s from Whistles.

Classic with a twist. I bought this around 10 years ago and although it seemed super expensive at the time (I think it was around £200, which was a total bargain since it’s JC de Castelbajac) I have worn it so much that cost per wear is minimal. I love the high up pockets and the shape. It fits like it was made for me. That’s what you’re looking for in a tailored coat.

Great jacket. MY great jacket. Spotted by my quite brilliant other half in a vintage / 2nd hand store (Absolute Vintage on Berwick Street) in Soho, London last year. It’s a little too big for me, and also it’s kind of grubby (white deerskin is highly impractical as a jacket material, for future reference) but super cool nonetheless. Never quite sure what to wear it with, but my new camouflage trousers (thank you, Zara) seem to go with anything… or rather they have to go with anything, given I can’t seem to take them off. The ‘love padlocks’ were on a wire fence near Bethnal Green Road. Sweet.

Faux fur and gold trainers, what’s not to love… (Jacket from Miss Selfridge, trousers from Zara, trainers from Russell & Bromley.)

Liked the colour and texture mix this lovely girl (Linda) was wearing mooching along Brick Lane on a cold Sunday afternoon. What’s more, she has her own blog! Check it out here.
