The Best Coats For Winter 2013

As the temperatures outside become gradually cooler that can only mean one thing; coat weather is just around the corner. Now, I have confessed my love for the cooler seasons of Autumn and Winter more than once on here so personally I can't wait for coat season as layering is one of my favourite things to do when styling an outfit, it allows you to experiment with textures and colours and to just be more inventive with style. So over the last couple of days I have been browsing the land of online shopping and choosing my favourite coats online/in-stores at the moment. It is safe to say there is a massive selection out there and seems to be something to suit everyone's taste and even though at the end of my investigation I had far too many coats selected to share with you I did manage to whittle my choices down to 26 while trying to keep a varied selection of styles. So, for all you coats lovers out there like me or for all of you who would simply like an idea of what's on offer this season- here you go.

Happy coat shopping.

Céline, Thigh-High Boot Heaven

Oh I do adore these beauties from Céline's A/W '13 Collection, the 'Thigh High Boot Rider in Calfskin Navy' has one of the top place positions on my wishlist for this A/W. Even though my closet contains quite a lot of black I must say lately I've been steering towards the colour navy when buying pieces, I think it's going to be a popular colour for this A/W, after all navy is one of those timeless and classic colours and couldn't be more complimentary of the jewel tones we will be seeing for the coming months. This boots are just all kinds of awesome- I love how they fit like a second skin and not baggy like some thigh-high boots making legs look thick and I also love the contrast of the wooden heel against the navy leather. I need them in my closet, I need them in my life. Phoebe Philo, you give me life.

Handbags: Givenchy Fall-Winter 2013 Collection

As Givenchy is one of my favourite designers, the moment I saw their handbags for the Fall/Winter 2013 collection my heart went aflutter. These are just a few of my favourites from the collection and the colour tone is predominantly neutral with hints of leopard print and just one brief pop of colour within my choices, that of the 'Pandora' bag in a vibrant floral print. Other stand-outs for me are the beautiful navy blue 'Lucrezia' duffel and the blush colour 'Nightingale' satchel- those have instantly been added to my F/W wishlist. For now though, these beauties will just have to be something nice to look at!

I LOVE: Shoes by Dolce & Gabbana F/W 2013

This is a short and sweet post I just had to share with you all showing you these beautiful shoes from Dolce & Gabbana's recent F/W 2013 Collection shown at Milan Fashion Week. I came across this picture on VOGUE Paris' tumblr page and the instant I saw these shoes my heart fluttered a bit, probably because they are so decadent, romantic and oh so feminine. These beauties have now been added to my wish list, obviously- and I couldn't help myself from imagining all the wonderful outfits these shoes would simply make. Sigh...

Spring Summer 2013 Handbag Wishlist

The Spring/Summer season is just around the corner, the collections are filling the stores so it is only fitting that I have a wish-list for S/S and I have put together my choices for the most need-worthy handbags for this upcoming season. Bright jewel colours are trending along with neautral tones and natural textures such as raffia, wood (yes wood, just check out the clutch from Givenchy), prints and not specific prints as such more, any print counts. Of course this is a wish-list for a reason because I'm pretty sure the total cost of all these bags combined would probably equal the price of an apartment in the centre of Paris, but a girl can stare at these pretty pictures and dream... Enjoy!
