I'm not massive on leopard print but recently it's accidentally come into my life through 2 perfect garments, one charity shop dress and then this coat. I've been on the hunt for the perfect black fur coat for a couple of years now (insane, I know) & when I headed out yet again on the hunt I discovered this furry perfectly cut thing in the Mango sale in House of Fraser. It was like £30 or something but I had some vouchers from Children of the 90s so it only cost me like £12! Score! Plus a new necklace from New Look. How much are they killing it right now? I got a sweet black high neck dress for £10 & their jewellery was on buy one get one free. PLUS they're still owned & based in Swindon, non of that tax haven Topshop crap. Wa hey!
This week has been extremely rough. In fact it's been a couple of weeks of head fuckery & I think it's coming to an end. Hopefully. I'm trying to stay positive & look forward to my birthday in a couple of weeks (I'm going on holiday! More to come...). But I've not been the best at updating and commenting & everything, even though the contents got hella better, right? So I'm really sorry (STILL) but if frequent updates is what you're after I'm on my tumblr neonpeg most lunchtimes so there's a shit load over there.
Love love.
YES.

Outstanding coat! Crazy awesome bargain too. I've got one, but it makes me look like a sumo wrestler. The cut on that is just perfecto.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I just want to congratulate you on your Amazon rant. Sums up the shitty side of globalisation that is all too easily glossed over so succintly. More people need to shout about this kind of stuff.

Thank you!
DeleteThey've just been in the news for allowing "Keep Calm And Rape" and "Keep Calm And Hit Her" t-shirts to be sold on amazon. Just absolutely disgusting. I mean that someone could make those in the first place, but then be able to find such a mainstream distributor.
I also learnt recently that they run Waterstones online so basically the devil's in the back garden.
Holy shit. I just had a look at the news reports about that. Absolutely disgusting. Have you seen their response?! I quote: "The American clothing company Solid Gold Bomb blamed an automated computer dictionary for its series of the items emblazoned with offensive phrases such as "Keep Calm and Rape a Lot" and "Keep Calm and Hit Her", based on the much reproduced "Keep Calm and Carry On" second world war poster."
DeleteAnd I thought it couldn't any lower than the divine trash tshirts they were selling in Republic.
Oh great. The only safe place to buy books and DVDs now is a) from one of the few remaining indies or b) a charity shop. Yaaaay for the 21st century.
good choice, that is one sharp looking coat. not what you were looking for but i doubt you'll regret it. Many thanks for the congrats Jess, bonus that I'm getting a ring too!
