Dear Santa, If you're reading......

...............then I really, really, really want this coat for Christmas. It's available from Next for just £75. I love the Leopard print pattern and the swing style and the jewel embellishment on the sleeves make it a perfect party cover up or a great way to dress up a simple casual black top.

I've been a very good girl this year: I'm nice to my boyfriend and I don't leave all my clothes on the floor (just most of them) I promise I will update my blog more regularly, and spend less money on clothes (and more on sensible things) I will also leave you a mince pie and a carrot for Rudolph.

Thank you!

The Unsexiest Woman Alive??

Are these people crazy??

Sarah Jessica Parker has recently been voted the unsexiest women alive in an online poll. Obviously polls like this are downright ridiculous in the first place, but how horrible it must feel to have to wake up in the morning and read something like that! I find it hard enough to get dressed and feel slim(ish) pretty(enough) and ready to face the world without that kind of condemnation; God knows how she got out of bed this morning!

Sarah Jessica Parker might not be blonde and busty with a button nose and a perma-tan, but not looking like Jessica Simpson doesn't make you unsexy. SJP is unconventionally beautiful (which is much better than merely pretty), stupidly stylish and a sucessful independant mother and multi-millionairess. And you know what? If she managed to achieve all that without conforming to a stupid surveys idea of what "sexy" is, then that makes her an even more amazing role model as far as i'm concerned.

God bless SJP! May she always stay the same!

Winter Warmers.........

With Christmas fast approaching (I know I keep saying it but it's true) and Bonfire night upon us, it's time to find that perfect 'i'm all snug and warm but still look amazing' coat. You know the one: warm, practical, flattering, fashion focused, and impossible to find! This season everyone is talking about bright colours, volume, and military details. With that in mind, i've scoured the highstreet and here's my pick of 3 of the best winter coats

1) Bubble hem coat. River Island. £69.99

2) Tangerine Puffsleeve trapeze coat. Oasis. £90.0
3) Frilly trenchcoat. Topshop. £150.00

STYLE TIPS: Curver ladies should aviod the bubble hem as this trendy look is only really suitable for skinny minnie's. It would look great teamed with a teadress and opaque tights. The orange trapeze coat is perfect for the more statueque, and would look stunning teamed with skinny jeans and heeled shoe boots. The frilly trench is by far my favourite of the 3. It would look great on any figure, and is very Vivienne Westwood-esque in it's stylish attention to detail.

But hey, don't just listen to me though. When i went out to buy my winter coat I ignored all my own advice and came home with this monstrousity instead:

And you know what? I love it! And when it comes to finding the style that suits you (be it shoe, coat, or dress) that's all that matter!
