LE CHIC MODE

BLACK OR WHITE?''' I finally found a winter coat that suits my style, I wanted something that can be worn casually or dressed up. preferably with a hood. Then I found it! I didn't really want to get a jacket with a hood, as I like to wear dresses and a coat was more useful for me. Strange thing, now that I have it the weather has warmed up extremely 11C for highs, so really to warm to wear now. ( at least for me)  Nice to wear for strolling along the city streets,  The coat is light weight, simple style with snaps and belt . The hood is perfect for windy days, which we had recently, so keeps ones head warm and cozy.  Only problem i couldnt decide  black or white?  so ordered both to try. WINTER WHITES  a popular pick , as it is nice choice and many bloggers these days are wearing white in winter - whites are not only for summer.   SOLID BLACK  a classic look, never out of fashion. Also a more practical choice.  

  FINDING a PERFECT COAT for Winter Time for a bit of  retail therapy,  and now that the weather is starting to get more chilly, my one wish is to find a nice warm coat or jacket to bundle up in.   Even though we are into the second lockdown, things are starting to look better . The news of a vaccine has made me feel huge relief or a heavy weight lifted  I figure  now is good time to get a nice coat. COAT & JACKETS From a casual style or a more dressier one, a nice coat is crucial for winter. One that keeps one warm and cozy against the winds or snow.  DRESSY CLASSIC STYLES. A short version or the knee length style both are suitable,  wearing with slacks or dresses. Love some colour, for the winter, the camel and burgundy shades are perfect additions. This one with a fur collar is ideal to keep the neck warm , the added details of the hook and buttons finish it off nicely. The classic double breasted is unbeatable, the deep burgundy colour is ...

 6 STYLES for the SEASON Well it is only October and it is only fall, but the last few nights the temperatures started to feel more and more like winter is around corner. There is even snow in the mountains.  So perhaps it is time to start looking at some jackets   or coats.  What is your favourite - coat or jackets? Classic or sporty? JACKETS for the WIN(TER) From teddy bear styles,  sheepskin looks or the great parka, these coats are a good choice for the season- I love a hooded jacket for the warmth it gives and the coverage . A fuzzy teddy style  is ideal  and looks extra warm, picking one with plenty of room for the sweaters is important also. A sheepskin faux look is another classic look for anytime. Paired with those chunky boots, it works well together.  A good parka is also  another favourite of mine, the longer length is ideal to keep the legs warm and the hood  on it is heavenly!  Really perfect for those cold winds.

 CUDDLY  & WARM The last few seasons the teddy coat has been around which made me think okay perhaps a teddy coat is another option for winter - other then a puffer coat or down filled parka. The fact is, it is not so cold here. So a down jacket really is not needed.  But for some that find the temperature to much, then of course a warm parka is a must. But for now  the TEDDy is another option to consider and for sure there are many more color options - grey, beige, brown , black  camel and pink.   From a jacket, 3/4 or full length. Anyone of these might be a good option. SPORTY STYLE A SPORT LOOK like this short version for throwing on if in a hurry, i.e. quick shop trip.  or if planning a sporty day , skating skiing.  JUST FOR FUN    GREAT LENGTHS is a great choice if it gets really cold, will keep you  cozy warm. Wear with a great cashmere knit , slacks or dress and h...

IS  IT SPRING OR IS IT WINTER? Middle of March and it seemed like spring had arrived finally. I am sure like most people they were feeling happy to have the warmer temperatures too. After the winter temperatures that hit all of Europe - then last week  it was so warm and sunny with 14C. It was such a relieve to not have to bundle up in so much winter wear.
