Hello you lovely lot! Happyyy Fridayyyyyyy! When I was still at University last year, I worked as a waitress along side the blog. My shift was, like clockwork, Friday night through to a double shift on Saturday. As such I missed out on that Friday feeling although I did love the crazy, eclectic, awesomeness of the weekend shifts. Now that I work Monday - Friday, I totally get how awesome it feels to know that on Saturday you're off ! I look forward to a weekend cappuccino and chocolate croissant all week. And a lie-in. And magazine time. Ugh, it's just heaven!!
This weekend I am having a huge wardrobe clear out - YAY! Although obviously this shall be preceded by coffee + pastry.
Since we moved house earlier in the year I've been systematically editing my wardrobe, selling some things, donating others, re-discovering . . . it's been cathartic, and healthy and made room for new items too.
I've recently added a few Autumn/Winter pieces which I've been wearing on rotation. There's been a cold snap of late and I have been revelling in the excuse to begin layering.
Understandably, finding the perfect Winter coat is something which I feel many of us embark on with military like focus. A coat is what you will top off most outfits with and so it needs to fit many guises. For work, for the weekend, to match this colour, to go with that handbag . . . your Winter coat has a lot to live up to! Whilst I whole heartedly agree that investing in a good coat is a money-allocation you will not regret, there are FANTASTIC options on the High Street. This New Look coat costs £60. £60!!! It is a brilliant piece, the cut is flattering, the faux-leather trim is luxe, and it is warm without being stifling. If you are in the market for a coat under £100 I would fully recommend it.
By keeping outerwear purchases under £100, there's a little more wiggle room to buy a few options, rather than splurging all of your money on one. There are arguments for and against this, but if you're looking to buy into a trend - say colour, or print - then dipping your toe in with a high street bargain is the best way to go! I'm liking this white ASOS number for that very reason.
Below are five fabulous coats for under £100! Go get 'em tigresses!

Righto, I'm spending the rest of the day with sleeves rolled up - wardrobe-sorting.
Mmm. Capuccino tomorrow.
Have a BRILLIANT weekend all!
Love,
