Cool Coat

This weather is just too damn all over the place at the moment so it got me thinking that I need summer coat in my life

Heidi Stripe Summer Coat from Monsoon

I saw this one in Monsoon and whilst it is very nice, it didn't quite tick all the boxes for me. I love a collar which it is obviously lacking. And although it has been reduced it's still on the slightly expensive side for my liking, considering (hoping) that I shouldn't actually need to wear it everyday

Stripe Biker Coat from Warehouse

I love a breton stripe so I was really hopeful when I spotted this coat. And then I tried it on. Not a good look on me, far too boxy on the shoulders . But if it's your thing it's half price right now 

Textured Swing Coat from Topshop

I really liked this soft mint coat but it was sold out in my size, but hopefully I'll get lucky on ebay

Floral Coat from ASOS

Then I saw the lovely Ms Flack in this little number. Summer (in a) coat literally. It's half the price of the Monsoon coat, yay. Avec collar, double yay. And for me is a more versatile print, anything that works with black is always a winner

How are you keeping warm but looking cool this summer?

Sometimes I Wake Up And Think I Should Start Wearing A Beret, But I Don't Do It

A quick outfit of the day post

Top from Whistles, Skirt from Warehouse, Watch from Toywatch, Boots from Bertie

I should have worn a cute ballerina pump to complete my parisian look *a beret would have been a smidgen OTT* but I decided to toughen it up with my trusty biker boots instead. Plus it's too cold for pumps brrr. I'm hoping I've pulled the look off but I could be mistaken for 

Bonnie *and Clyde* does dancing on ice!

Hope you've all had a good day?

She Wears High Heels, I Wear Sneakers

Yep, I love a Taylor Swift lyric or two ;)

Anyways, back to the post. I know, I know, I'm wayyy behind the times but in my defense I just couldn't justify spending that amount of money on these type of shoes, until of course I found these on the high street

Aerobic 2 Wedge Hi Tops from Topshop

They have many redeeming features...

* The wedge inner sole can be removed if you'd prefer to wear them as a normal trainer. However they are just as comfortable with the wedge inner and if you're having a fat day, and only height will help, then the wedge inner sole is the way to go

* They have a fur lining so they're going to keep my tootsies toastie

* They're understated, no bright stripes, no bling, just plain perfect black

* They are super duper comfy

* The price!

And this is how I'm going to wear them

Jumper from Warehouse, Watch from Zadig & Voltaire, Leggings from Topshop, Coat from French Connection, Snood from Topshop, Trainers from Topshop

Are you a fan of these trainers? How are you wearing yours?
