the saga continues: part 2

and so we move on to part 2: coats. i really don't seem to have enough of these. my friend helena has one entire wardrobe dedicated solely to outerwear, whereas i seem to make do with one or two (well, one or two that i actually wear) per year. however; now i as well have seen the light - the importance of the coat!

i have been lusting after this mac for about a year now, and it's still driving me mad. i thought i'd lost my chance to get it but then allsaints brought it out again and so my desire has been awoken once more. at £195 i don't think it's too expensive for me not to buy it - it looks completely amazing on because it's huge (makes my legs look like twigs and hides tum, double plus) and it will go with pretty much everything as macs do.

i was going to buy this last season again, and even got half way to the till then (apparantly) thought better of it. but it has re-appeared on the vintage section, hurrah! it would be so useful on those days when i really can't be bovd to look nice (tuesday mornings on the way to work, most likely) and with military boots it couldn't fail to look awesome. plus it's really warm, got loads of pockets and a MASSIVE hood which makes you look like the grim reaper, which you would obviously want to given the chance so basically it just gets a double thumbs up from me.

last one: the all important leather jacket. i no longer like my black, hooded bomber that i bought last year and so need to invest in a new one. this is from, you guessed it, last season, and yes i did want it last year. (i'm noticing that i get really repetitive? obsessing about shoes in elle and allsaints vintage coats..?) however, it's ridiculously tight-fitting, something allsaints love to do with their leathers, blargh, and it's not on the website in my size so it will never be mine. i'm on the scout for something similar. i love the bronze military studs and sleeve zips.
