Next were kind enough to give me a voucher to spend in their store, and I had a really fun (and hard!) time browsing through their amazing AW12 collections, trying to choose what I liked best. I settled on this cool military-inspired coat, as a girl can never have too many winter coats. I love the quilted sleeves and the leather-trim detailing, and the curved shape of the hem at the front is really different and interesting, adding femininity to the otherwise quite masculine design.
I’m also super excited to show off to you all my amazing new bag from L. K. Bennett. It’s such a beauty. My mum was so jealous when I showed it to her! The quality is everything you’d expect from L. K. Bennett, but the design is cool too, with the twist-knots on the front giving it an edge and the neutral colour making it ridiculously versatile. The coat and bag in this outfit are definitely two of my favourite new additions to my winter wardrobe.
