Hey all of you! Sorry for not updating… hope you’ve missed me a lot :)
This time I’ll show you something really nice and useful! Here in Oslo winter has already started, and even there is no snow, the weather is really rainy and windy… I need a coat! and you?

I actually think about duffle hooded coat, it looks so warm and cosy! The famous are by Burberry in different colours, but expensive. In black and blue:

In grey:

Cheryl Cole prefers red one:

I also found luxury one at Net-a-Porter by Y-3:

So, now girls here are some nice affordable coats:

Asos duffle coat in navy and grey:

Topshop in grey:

Miss Selfridge has a really nice one in black with four with four contrast front toggle like Y-3:

Finally, Gap offers black and grey, exactly like Burberry:

Reader’s Request: Burberry Prorsum and Lily Donaldson

Haylee Stewart: “I was really wanting to know if you could help me find an outfit (mainly the dress) a lot like lily’s in the attached pic??? I really love it and want it urgently! Kind regards”

Well, Haylee, Lily’s wearing the nicest mini dress by Burberry Prorsum Fall 2009! She shone at Burberry Day, May 29 in London. Lily looked very stylish in her black tights and short version of the dress:

Since the collection has just recently launched, you can find this dress and similar ones (some affordable versions) later this Fall season. At Fashion Show there were maxi version of this dress:

Well, I could find some similar mini alternatives, some of them are not so cheap as I would like to have, but anyway, let’s look at them! The first one which I like very much is the hand-crafted clothing that made being bohemian so chic is emboided in this semi-sheer mini dress by MaxStudio. The next is silky wiggle check mini dress by Whistles. I think you can pair these dresses with black or bright tights, try some gladiator heels and have a great look!

At Asos you can find cotton Vila Button Front Tulip Dress. Miss Selfridge also offers similar shirtsleeve dress in mink, which looks very shiny, which I would wear at some summer party. And finally, GoJane has a nice summer white button up tie-back mini dress.

At RevolveClothing you can also find some nice versions to keep Lily’s sassy style. Jen’s Pirate Booty creates a flirty, bohemian-inspired collection made from 100% sheer cotton gauze. While DA-NANG offers to relax in the most comfortable piece — button mini dress.

BTW, Lily’s wearing of course Burberry Prorsum Fall 2009 amazing shoes! I’m sure these ones will be season hit, so we’ll have some affordable version soon :)

So, you have a choice here which I hope you make :) And welcome for new requests, girls! Summer has arrived!

Proenza Schouler bandage pencil skirt is very provocative! It only looks very simple, but it’s not. Luxe viscose crépe mini fits like a glove. You can pair it with heels or flats, with tank and vest.

It’s available at Saks:

Well, anyway I think almost one thousand is too much for skirt in crisis times :) So, I’ve found great alternatives. At Topshop you can find similar panelled bodycon skirt in black and turquoise:

However, reading one of my favourite blogs by The Girl In A Cashmere Daze about a great online shop Miss Selfridge, I’ve found in this shop many interesting pieces. The good thing is that they ship in Europe, USA and Australia!
Have a look at this black ribbed mini skirt:

Don’t be afraid to create a hot outfit!
