Out and about...

excuse the rather self indulgent post, it's been a long while since i last went shopping. i asked myself the same question: is that possible? yes, i've been shopping but it's mostly online shopping. but nothing beats the excitement of piling up the clothes and trying to my hearts content in the fitting rooms.

i dropped by zara to have a little look see last weekend. tried on the above shearling jacket, which is quite the "on trend" piece of this season. i wondered if i can still call it shearling considering the jacket is made from 100% synthetic materials. in fact, bits of fiber fell off when i handled the jacket. i like the jacket, it's comfortable, it fitted well, but an aviator/shearling jacket is for life, not just for the season. it's all or nothing, so i placed this back onto the rails. but quite a nice piece for £79 if i may say.

i love my chunky toasty knits. a little 'christmassy' and a little tight for my liking. a fun piece, but i know i won't wear it so this went back to the shelves too.

what i did get however, is the nylon puffa vest with embroidery details. i'm not usually a big fan of vests nor puffa, but this piece somehow caught my eye the minute i walked into the shop.

the puffa vest comes with a detachable hood which also has the nice knitted details. i thought it's a pretty nice piece, and at £39 is quite no frills. except that the temperature suddenly nose dived this week.

out and about in my missoni knit, balenciaga trousers, christian louboutin sneakers and smelling of 'balenciaga paris' x 'acqua di parma'.
