That means less indulgence on the blog and more focus. Yes, anonymous from Borth, I've taken on all your feedback! There will be three featured blog posts each week specifically related to curent trends and retail. Saturday's High St Pick of the Week, remains with the addition of Maxi, Midi, Mini - one item, three options, from the highs of designers to the budget bargain of the high street. The final post in the trio will be Something I Threw On. Imagine my horror when I was told that someone who shall remain nameless actually opened the Next directory catalogue, looked at the images and bought a complete outfit head to toe based on a look. I'm coming to the rescue! My mission is to inject confidence about creating a look, whatever size or shape. It will not require 'making' or 'brow beating'. I'll keep it simple and hope to inject some style where once there was merely bafflement. And yes it will be 'normal' fashion...
...We start this week with a bubbling under trend for outerwear - the duffle coat. Look it is windy and wet on this Isle and you need to withstand these vagrancies of weather. Be prepared with a duffle coat.
Miu Miu Wool and angora- blend twill duffle coat £1,190 at Net-A-Porter (no spluttering on your coffee in Borth!)
Blog planning is sounding good!
ReplyDeleteBut if there is one thing I deteaste it is a duffle coat, unless you are under the age of 5, they just repulse me!!
Pearl - I think I must be 5! Isn't it funny I love a duffle coat xx

I love duffles! Also chuffed that i like the cheapest best!
ReplyDeleteWhen i wear a duffle I feel childlike and more likely to jump in a puddle or hurl myself into a mound of leaves what could be wrong with that?.. sooo excited that autumn is nearly here! yay
Wot, no Goverall! They have a particularly nice red one too.
ReplyDeleteI think if you had any kind of childhood involving Paddington Bear, then you like duffel coats. I also tend to stash marmalade sandwiches in my hat and give people cold hard stares.
Penny Dreadful - you see you've written duffel and that is how I like to spell it but it seems duffle is the new duffel. And btw double checked in dictionary IT IS DUFFEL or actually duffle...xx
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove them all; so need one for fall!
xoxox,

The Topshop one is my fave. Nice colour and good price!
ReplyDeleteoh they are so beautiful. the miu miu one tugs at my heartstrings
ReplyDeleteI actually don't think it's so heartbreaking to buy a complete look!
ReplyDeleteMr Bossa calls me cute all the time anyway - I think a duffle coat would be the icing on the cake!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, Kate - if you discover any leather trews even cheaper than the Reiss ones, you must let me know. Not that I'm sure I have the balls to wear something so anti-ladylike...!
Hope you've managed to tweak the dress to your liking, too...
The bound seam dufflecoat is so different with the toggles and clasps. Love It!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't even realised I had spelled it differently! Apparently, "the name derives from Duffel, a town in the province of Antwerp in Belgium where the material originates. Duffle bags were originally made from the same material."
ReplyDeleteOne for the word nerds ;)
I'm swithering between a duffel coat and a peacoat for winter this year. Definitely can't afford both but that Topshop beauty is very very tempting...
ReplyDeleteI used to hate wearing duffle wool coat when I was a kid cos it didn't look trendy enough to beat other kids.
ReplyDeleteNow, I think I own about 3 different coloured ones hahha.....but no black.
P.s Thanks for the lovely comment on styleslicker.thepop.com I don't update as much, I still post regularily on styleslicker.com :P
Yeah we missed each other again at Susie's.....we have to meet soon!!!
