Outfit | Inverted Lapels

This is the three-tone coat I bought from ZARA. It was another one of those pieces that I'd seen in the shop before but never thought of picking it off the rack until James made me try it on. I love the unique menswear-inspired design - the inverted lapels, structural cut, color tones and the flap pockets at the front give it quite a manly feel while the positioning of the panels create that extra shape, line and length which is just what I need. Also took my new booties out that I bought from SOGO. Realised that the best way to soften up new leather shoes is to run around all afternoon chasing after people and taking photographs. Blisters aside, they are well and truly worn in (I hope!).

Layered Up, Tokyo

After being restricted to wearing single layers for the last two years, I'm loving all the layering inspiration that I'm getting from the streets at the moment. And as much as I'd like to just stay at home wrapped up in a cozy blanket on drizzly days like today, I'm also excited about being able to wear clothes (and lots of it!). Whether it's layering in fall or layering in winter, it's all about experimenting and being creative. Time for me to start playing with different textures, fabrics, colors, proportions, shapes and sizes, and doing this without looking like a lumpy potato sack. Easier said than done I'm sure!

Outfit | Warm Red

I went shopping the other day for a blazer jacket and instead I ended up buying this beautiful red wool coat along with another coat from the ZARA sale. I'm so lucky to have James come shopping with me because he always picks out stuff for me to try on and most of the time it's things that I wouldn't usually consider wearing but I fall instantly in love with and end up buying. So he decided that I needed color and I couldn't resist getting this coat the moment I tried it on. It's the perfect red, the perfect cut, I love the subtle top-stitching detail, and there was one last piece in my size. Also bought a three-tone coat which I can't wait to wear. I'm so sorted for winter!
