My Lust of the Day

So I admitted yesterday that I have a scarf addiction.  Which I definitely do.  However I also have a number of other things that I simply can't have enough of in my wardrobe.


On considering this earlier, I did worry for a minute that it might just include every item of clothing and accessory I could think of.  But fear not, there are wardrobe staples for other people that pass me by. 


Coats for instance.  I think I own one.   A functional parka (which has its own interesting story.  Years ago, I accosted a woman in Waitrose and asked her where her, frankly divine, parka was from.  She ummed and ahhed and said she "thought" it was from Littlewoods! I asked her what brand, she said she couldn't remember and before I knew what I was doing, I was yanking her coat down at the back and peering at the label.  I don't know who was more shocked - me or her.   I apologised profusely, muttering something about lack of sleep (thank the lord I had all 3 rugrats with me crammed into the double buggy.  As one did) and she did laugh.  I fear it may have been a laugh of pity but hey ho, I tracked that bloody parka down!  And still have it to this day.  Holding pride of place as The One Coat I own. 


Macs don't count.  I have a couple of those (we're going to gloss over the genuine Burberry one I have with the print on the outside.  Oh yes, you read that correctly.  On The Outside.   In my defence it is the very pale print that -many many many years ago - did look quite lush.  I promise you!  Before it gained its less than salubrious image)


So Coats don't rock my world.  But Jackets?  Oh how I adore a Jacket.  A blazer, a leather jacket, a sequin jacket, a tweed jacket, I don't think you can ever have too many.  To some it may be a question of semantics.   However I will propose that generally, a Coat is something that keeps you warm.  It isn't part of an outfit - generally it goes over an outfit.  Whereas a Jacket can make an outfit.  Clear as mud?


The reason for my rambling is that Jackets are number two on my list of addictions.  I don't have "too many" but I do have rather a lot.  Therefore to justify the purchase of another one would take some serious work (obviously nothing is insurmountable and the chances of me purchasing at least one more before we hit Summer are quite high)


Therefore as soon as I saw this absolutely stunning number the other day, I started the ball rolling with the justification spiel. That moment of scrolling down the page and suddenly something jumps out at you and screams BUY ME.  The most beautiful long Jacket.




But hang on, call off the dogs, it's apparently not a long Jacket - they call it a Coat! 

The Adandes Silk & Cotton Coat - By Malene Birger

The only thing that's stopping me purchasing right now is the creamness (me and mess are good friends unfortunately.  I struggle to keep anything spotless)  and the £500ness of it.   But that's not to say I won't get it eventually.  I can think of already a number of different outfits to go with it.  I even have the same outfit they've styled it with above (down to the leopard print blouse - my singular Print clothing purchase from two years ago, further to my blog I yesterday)


It would look fab with skinny coated black jeans, stilettos, little black top, big statement necklace for a night out.  Or a pop of colour with a loose fitting emerald or fuchsia t-shirt.   And then during the day with 7/8ths faded skinnies or straight legs rolled up and a loose oatmeal/camel/black - any really - t shirt.  Little black or silver pumps.  And even the Alice Temperley scarf from yesterday would look gorgeous with it.  


It just needs a bit more deliberation.  On the upside I don't have to justify fitting it into my wardrobe where it could sit happily next to my Other Coat!

  2. Tomb Raider, Mega Moolah, Mermaid's Millions, and Blackjack are some of the new Android game apps that have been released from Microgaming's partner,
    Spin 3. Thus the games like the Mahjongg Spiele as well as the Naegel machen games are more in
    demand and this is the greatest benefit or advantage of the online games.

    However, make sure that your phone is equipped with a powerful processor to enable
    deeper searches and devise a strategy to give
    a challenging game of chess.

  3. While it is one thing to have a social media profile on
    an online community like Deviant - ART, it is a whole other thing entirely to have fitted it with an effective SEO strategy.
    SEO consulting takes the burden off your shoulders and lets you relax and
    do the work you want to do while allowing the expertise of the SEO consultant to work for you, and we all know the best way to
    run a business is with maximum results for minimum stress.
    This is what professionals do. Naturally, they will flock
    to your competitor who does. Since Google organic rank can bring in thousands of potential customers, search engine position service firms have made a business
    of promising high positions in search engine results pages.
    The algorithms are not known publicly, but one thing is
    certain, is the search engine websites that the information is relevant to the purpose of the preferred
    site. Domain Authority is influenced by:. This means
    that they follow only the steps given to them by Google and other major search engines.
    Moreover, some companies are not able to get the desired results and their techniques might even have
    bad effects on the business's website. What are the advantages of article submission. Arrange the H1, H2 and H3 tags serially with proper hierarchy. Don't Forget to Replace the Default Favicon with Your Logo.
    Their success is based on how many sales and customers you bring.

    Here you will need an SEO agency such as Webfirm to
    try and run damage limitation. This was the beginning of the thought process for my new business.
    SEO companies may only offer this type of service.
    In fact, soon, not using RDFa could put a site at a disadvantage.
    Once someone clicks on your site, they should see tons of unique informative content.
    Such companies know the best about industry and market trends.

  4. What Ι didn't know was how I would get all of what I wanted in just six hours. The line comes off the boat automatically once it hits a fish, which means that the user can catch a fish of virtually any size. Even today, I go big game hunting and all this, and the more dangerous something is, the happier I am.

  5. Please supplement charge before use when the battery has been
    kept for a long time. Remove other nearby wireless
    devices, such as a cordless or cellular telephone and make sure the mouse is at
    least eight inches away from a wireless keyboard. While the
    older 17 inch Mac - Book Pros lack the benefits of the unibody
    design, they do have the added feature of user-replaceable batteries.
