Winter had been threatening to hit with vengeance in the UK but has only just delivered - with "The Beast from the East" and Storm Emma bringing Siberian weather to the UK. Anne H always breaks out a duvet coat to cope with the chill, and this one (above and below) was purchased in the sale at John Lewis and is from Ralph Lauren. It features an inner zipped section then a toggle fastening front with lovely stand up collar but no hood. It is really warm and toasty but not so bulky that you feel like the Michelin Man and a real bargain as it was just £76 instead of the original £270. Nothing beats the feeling of a bargain like that. The pictures were taken just before the snow fell, so none of the white stuff on the ground!
Meanwhile Anne C (below) has also been keeping warm with a puffa coat in the Evans sale in her favourite pink (reduced to £40 but now sold out), with a matching pompom hat from Simply Devine Hats to stave off those winter chills.
Her new purchases also include this neutral long top (below), with frilled hem in an asymmetric design, with a long back, which she loves. She has similar tops in black, navy and grey. If you find a design you like - just stick to it, particularly if it suits your body shape. It was bought from an independent boutique in the small Yorkshire town of Cleckheaton.
She has teamed it with stretch jeggings in a matching stone colour, and a pair of fringed suede heeled boots from River Island from last year so no longer available, but similar ones still online here.
Her glorious neutral silk drop tasselled earrings were a Christmas gift from her daughter (similar ones here), while the beautiful cosy wool black and neutral checked scarf was another Christmas gift, but from the other Anne a couple of years ago. Watch by Reclaimed from Asos and still available.
this is awesome!
