WINTER INSPIRATIONS

Apologies again for the long absence from the blog, I've been juggling university work with a 4 month old screaming teething greedy very grumpy baby! Having acquired all the turtle necks and coats, oh and boots (again) I could possibly want this season. (If you follow my Instagram you'll have probably seen). I have yet again set my sights on some beautiful inspirations for the upcoming chilly season! 

The famous cosy wool wrap coat that has been seen a lot lately, also shown here at the bottom in grey is a winter essential for me! I purchased Zara's version. As of every year, knitwear is a biggy, but this year it seems to have taken us little fashion birds by storm. Knitted pants are still to be gained.. However I did buy a comfy camel ribbed pair from Zara last week! But its the flares I'm after, and I will get them, even if I have to pretend and hide them from my boyfriend. He seems to think I have serious buying issues. But don't we all???????????????? 

ACNE ACNE ACNE, what do you do to us all. If only we were all top notch creative directors and editors of magazines ehy! Why so pricey!!!!!!!!!! I would kill for this damn coat! But hey, lets be honest, I'm not about to spend the entire contents of my bank on it any time soon. (One day when I'm a millionaire and own 7 dogs in their own house and drive a Mercedes G class). 

I love the idea of this oversized sequin jumper and coordinating skirt for this Christmas! I may just invest as an early birthday present for myself and rock this look on Boxing Day (birthday).

BRINGING PLAIDY BACK

Leather pants - Topshop / Hat - Carhartt / Tee - H&M / Shirt - Cow Vintage / Bag - Topshop / Jewels - Made / Boots - RI

It's been pretty damn cold lately hasn't it, so iv'e been wearing my leather pants a lot again. I forgot i even had them but i dug them out and now they're perf for this weather. AND ITS BEANIE WEATHER AGAIN YAY! You can't beat a good ol' beanie, and this one is my fave by Carharrt, always selling these plain ones, i cut the bobble off this one though because the shape is slightly taller on them. (oops). 

My plaid shirt is from Cow Vintage, they have an unbelievable range of plaid shirts that are pre loved or new for their line, so go check them out, and they last forrreverrr, and for all seasons!! My coltrane boots are must with everything i wear lately as i mentioned before. They're glued to my feet, bit obsessive really.

I've been working a lot this week as i have a new job and i love it there so getting time to blog is extra special now, and im going back to university next week (excite!). I'l probably rock this ootd a lot to lectures or town when i'm going to spend my first wages or .. dun dun dunnnnnn Student Loan!! 

Happy Monday guys ... Elysia x

Mink Pink 'Its All Happening Coat' Lusting

Modcloth.com

Ok so i couldn't help myself, i had to post about this A-mazing coat! I was doing a wishlish on Polyvore and browsing Mink Pink's new products and prints and i came across this earlier in the week. Mink Pink have just pulled it out the bag again, but when do they ever cease to amaze?? I love everything about it! 

This faux fur coat was designed by the talented Rachel Evans, also responsible for the other epic mink pink pieces, and just screams vintage mod!! It features a textured dark rainbow look all over with a fur collar, perfect for the fall in to winter and i am going to rave about this coat until i can pull some money out my bag to purchase it. After all who isn't skint these days!? The detail in this coat is ridiculous, you can see every piece of wool in every different hue, even the gold buttons and the silk navy lining are tip top. You can pick it up from Modcloth.com for $134.99 right here, so around 95-100 pounds. Just guessing though so don't take my word for that, you'll have to get Google on the case! 

Depending on how you like to wear your clothes determines which size, if your like me, you like oversized pieces, i'd probably get this is a medium or a large so it had even more of a vintage feel to it and even better to just 'throw' over your under dress!

I can imagine this being warn on a fall night's get together in a garden with the chimney fire blaring and the little lanterns dawning in the background with everybody drinking corona and listening to some epic tunes. Styling wise over a floaty cream or white maxi with some chunky boots. (Just describing this makes me want it even more).

I hope to post about this coat.. with me actually in it, in the future... I hope you like it too :)
