perfect timing

Dress: Thrift. Drawstring bag: Ebay (DIY studded). Faux fux coat: H&M. Fyres: Vintage. Fedora: Trash & Vaudeville, Rings: LF/W store. Necklace: Random jewellery shop
The snow really started yesterday right about the time of the dinner ressies I made at Gordon Ramsey’s restaurant at The London hotel. Typical. So might as well make the best of it and have a bit of a laugh when it started?
I wore a long black wool dress I bought a few weeks ago (thrifted), a cropped lace cardi over it (you can get it here) and my vintage Fryes bought yonks ago.
Every time I wear this faux fur coat I think of the assistant at H&M who said I shouldn’t get it because it’s too big. I’m so glad I kept it. The oversized feel was part of the attraction (that and paying $30). You’ve seen me in it before here.
ps. the food was delicious. The only complaint was the portions were very small :-/

    Lately I’ve been thinking about getting one of my own but I feel like wearing something like that takes balls, which I’m not sure I have…still thinking about it though ; )

    You look like you’re having fun, despite the ridiculous snow!

    I got hit with a pretty ridiculous blizzard yesterday (people were left stranded on the highways! ahh!) and I don’t think this snow is ever going to melt away…

    Great coat! I’m thinking of some fur accessories for myself!

    Sasha – no balls needed. just wear one ; )

    What is Reality Anyway – definitely.

    Caylee – oh no : ( or is that a good thing? probably is right now because it’s as messy as sh** right now on the streets!

    Simonee – You can get them from studs n spikes website. They have prongs behind each stud that you push through holes you make in the leather and bend the prongs back in place.

    Girl in the Loft – thanks. I don’t know if I’ll ever wear dark polish for the rest of the winter.

    Francheska – you know already the mutual love for floor length!

    Cafe Fashionista – aww thanks and helloooo : )

    Sissy – agreed.

    Fashion Chalet – wow. You made my night. I LOVED how thrown together she looked in that scene. God it was so inspiring. Ok now you have me wanting to watch that episode again.

    Thx everyone for the comments!!!
