Coats & Jackets A/W2013

Since the months are getting colder it is time to start thinking about your outerwear during the A/W2013. Coats need to do a lot of things for us, its not just about looking good even though that is really really important. They need to keep us warm, dry and have pockets for keys, bus money, phone and unfortunately tissues because we all know by mid September colds & flues will start spreading.

I feel like a coat is an investment as we will wear it everyday and we want it to last the whole season. I don't think a trendy coat is the way to go as trends come and go so fast. A more classic option or cut will go with a multitude of outfits, occasions ad even carry on for more then one season.

More classic options could be a nude trench coat. It works with everything, can be dressed up or down, worn with any color scheme and can be used season after season. A duffel coat in black or khaki green is another timeless piece, we have all had one at one time or another. A black leather jacket is a great option for a timeless, effortless edgy look.

Beware of bright colors! Color trends come an go so fast what will all the shades of colors there can be. Unless you have your heart set on that bright yellow peplum coat from River Island I'd advise going for a more neutral shade or at least avoiding the peplum trend on an item that you may want to wear again next year.

Basically, try shop smart for your key wardrope pieces.

Chi Chi

Chi Chi is a London brandthat was created over 25 years ago. They pride themselfs on being unique, vibrant and expressive. They say that they specialise in making you look stunning and that in one of there dresses you will never look far from faboulus.

In my opinion their dresses are amazing and they are really achiving their goal! The colors, quality, price and overall glamour of their dresses in second to none. I have no idea why Chi Chi isn't more publisised and talked about because designs are just so detailed ad for the price its a total steal. There dresses are flattering on all shapes and sizes but whats even better is that they contain that feel good factor too when you are wearing them.

Chi Chi is available online at http://www.chichiclothing.com/ and also in most awear stores around Ireland.

There dresses remind me of fairytales, princesses, elegance and opulance.
Unfortunitly I am having trouble inserting pictures onto the blog but if you want to see them the I suggest going to the site or your nearest awear.


Thank you xoxo

Update on Ami Clubwear

Just a little update on my review of Ami Clubwear. The issue with them not sending my complete orders because they say they were out of stock (even thought they let me order the items and pay for them and they even still have 1 of the items still advertised on their site in the size I ordered BTW) has been resolved because they refunded my for them items. So I am pleased which the out come because if I couldn't get the item I ordered a refund is really the only alternative. I did have to email them a few times about this and that was annoying but all in all it got sorted and I am sure to order again from them ( there is a really nice pair of shoes I have my eye on lol).
