OOTD: A Beautiful Spring Coat

Coat

Oh la la! I have been on holiday for the last week and I can’t believe how beautiful the weather was whilst we were at Babington House in Somerset! I spent a lot of my week basking in the sun and having treatments at the Cowshed spa. There are quite a few House rules at Babington so I was a bit worried about taking outfit posts whilst I was there. One item I wore repeatedly whilst I was away was this Boden Coat. The red, white and blue are perfect Summer nautical colours, but the floral print keeps it from looking like I have lost my boat! When I unwrapped the box, it was raining and gloomy and I wondered if I had made a slight error in judgement. As soon as the sun came out, I knew it was perfect!

Sunglasses 

I got these sunglasses from BrandAlley just in time for LFW. BrandAlley is a bit of a go-to online shop for me, they have some amazing flash sales which are always great brands at great prices. I have bought Orla Kiely, Ray Bans, Wildfox and so much more from BrandAlley and so many beauty products I can’t keep count!

Handbag 

Oh Lordy! I’m a lucky girl, I have more Chanel in my wardrobe than I could have ever dreamed of! My most recent Chanel purchase is this large size Classic flap in black. I have a classic flap in green which I adore, as well as the clutch in black lambskin. This bag is perfect for every day use as it is a harder wearing leather and slightly larger too for carrying around all my junk! Little girls close their eyes and think of ponies, grown up girls close their eyes and think of Chanel!

    🙂 I like BODEN a lot and have a couple of dresses. This coat is beautiful – for me it would be a bit too much color.

    Did I understand you correctly – can you live from blogging? If so, may I ask, how do you do it?

    Thanks and have a very HAPPY Sunday 🙂

    I am such a fan of an otherwise dark silhouette paired with fun pops of color! The little details like the red lips and nails just take it way over the top. so lovely!
