What I'm Wrapped Up In
Merry Christmas my little pies. Who's got a massive belly and a drawer full of socks?! HA.

The blazer issue
My dearest friends, I come in peace to express my frustrations and give a bit of a tip on a peculiar subject. I'm pretty sure the majority of men who are potentially reading this never even thought about what I'm about to say so this is for you. And some women too, don't think you can leave your seat!
So you know when the winter starts, it gets a bit chilly and you go to your fav shop to get a new blazer or a new coat for the season? Well, if you pick a decent one, it will come with a little cross made by sewing lines on the back, right at the bottom, in the centre of it. This is to keep it within its form and it's there for a reason. Although, this reason stops existing when you actually WEAR the coat/blazer. This is to be cut!!! Like a price tag, you see? Do not walk down the road thinking you're rocking a cool one with the little cross in the end that makes you look like a coat hanger! Makes sense?!
Ok, that's all.
In love with... #6: the cape
Evening, blog friends. This post is a special one because my outfit comes from a special place. As I posted before, this is clearly the coat & heavy cardigan season. With this, we mustn't forget the capes. I know, I know it's all a bit 'The Little Red Riding Hood' story... But! You absolutely cannot deny the come back of the capes this year and the need we have to get our hands on them. Because of this, I got my perfect cape made just for me by Verde Agua's atelier. It does sound all Portuguese I know but the demand is such that I'm sure it will be soon (if not yet) shipping the beauties abroad.
In love yet? Want one? You have lots to pick from - decide the cape and fur colour, the hood's pattern and if you want a little golden detail in the front. Learn more about these super cheap & trendy lovelies on Verde Agua's Facebook page here. Like the page, have a browse and private message them for more details!

In love with... #4
It's been AGES since I've been trying to find a new coat this year. I'm being mega picky as I have the perfect coat in my mind but still! How hard can it be?! The ideal bad boy would be a long blazer type of thing, camel at first and now I've extended the filter to light grey as well - being very good here! Saw this one at ASOS and oooobviously it's sold out. Typical. Not sure it would be warm enough though, 3 degrees is bones-freezing weather...

Oh Fur...
Cover your ears! Or do just the opposite. As you won't hear me saying this ever again! But I literally (and this is a one time and very easily forgettable wish) cannot wait for the proper winter to come so I can finally put on this beauty! Got it a month ago and still haven't tried it on. Not fair! Well apart from in this picture, when it was kindly delivered to my hands from my favourite courier... Say you love it?!
