Winter Walks in my new duffle coat!
Yesterday, just to embrace the winter winds, me and my gorgeous boyfriend went with our friends Adam and Rachel and their dog Buster, to Sherwood Forest. It was a nice change to get some fresh air on a Sunday morning, instead of just residing the day to hangovers, McDonald’s breakfasts, hoodies, sweatpants and our bed, as we usually do.
So there we all were, dressed up in our warm coats, mine was my brand new duffle coat just aimlessly walking around breathing in the fresh air, the day was going so well, and when we stopped off for a good old Sunday roast the day got even better. But as it goes, no day is ever fully perfect which we all discovered when it started chucking it down, and we were still more than 4 miles away from the car.
Then, just to make matters worse, by the time we ran back to the car not only were we all drenched, but the dog was nowhere to be seen. So we go back to find the mutt, who is quite happily bounding around like a gazelle in the rain, trying to rip branches off trees. I am pretty sure he was the only one of us who didn’t mind the rain.
Thinking back on it now it was quite funny, at the time however, as we were wet and freezing cold it did not seem funny at all! Add the fact that the dog got muddy wet paw prints all over one of my new sweatshirts when it jumped into the car and as you can imagine, I was less than impressed. In fact I was absolutely gutted; if that dog had his own bank account then he would be getting my rather large dry cleaning bill!

I Heart My new duffle coat!
I did something totally insane the other day; I spent an obscene amount of money (that I do not have) on not one, but two beautiful duffle coats, which were definitely not made for people on my wage. You see the problem was, I could not decide which one was more perfect than the other, so I decided to buy them both (well I quickly decided before I could think about it).
The first is a wonderful navy duffle coat with a silk corsage bow on the left breast. Its style is Gothic meets pretty meets preppy, it’s unlike anything I have seen before which is what I like about it. It’s very dressy and will surely add that special something to my winter wardrobe; I cannot wait to wear it with my chiffon skirt, black tights and my beautiful patent, super high heels, boom that is one hot look!
The second of my new duffle coat collection is a stunning red colour, it’s so snuggly and, well perfect. With this duffle coat I purchased an extra added, vintage style swallow broach to wear on the top of the right shoulder. This duffle coat is a much more casual coat and would look ultra fabulous teamed with my jeans, or with a denim skirt and one of my many pairs of boots, or even with one of my cute little ballet pumps.
They will be here tomorrow and I am uber excited about taking them on their first outing, the question is: which one do I wear first? Ohh and then there is the small matter of where I go as obviously I want to go somewhere where my new duffle coats will be showed off to their maximum. I am thinking perhaps a big busy city, or the park, somewhere where there is lots of people to pay compliments to my new coats!
