In fear of sounding awfully British, the weather has been on my mind lately. Irritation at not being able to wear lipgloss for a few months aside, I've been putting together my Autumn/Winter wardrobe! All wind-protectors must be mine and I need mittens goddammit, mittens! Seriously though, I've come to really enjoy shopping for the colder seasons as they require frequent trips to Zara to check out their regularly updated collections. More than anything, I adore their coats and jackets - which is where this Quilted Parka comes on the scene. One of my various outerwear purchases of late is this warm navy blue coat with faux fur hood...
At this time of year, many outfits go hours without seeing the light of day, it's all about the outerwear. With this in mind, I've been expanding my collection of warm but stylish coats/jackets to avoid looking as though I exist in one outfit alone for the best part of half a year; and you won't catch me complaining about needing to do so! I adore the contrasting bright orange lining of this jacket, as well as the flattering length - I've figured out now that the only way to remain warm come the temperature drop is to keep your hips and upper-thighs covered. Done and done!
Jacket - Zara Quilted Parka
High-waisted Jeans - Topshop Tall MOTO Leigh Jeans
Cardigan - old
Rings - Z for Accessorize
Well I had to include an outtake! |
With love,
Gabrielle x

I should perhaps move to the UK for the sake of finding a reason to fill my wardrobe with coats and jackets. They are completely useless in equatorial weather though I seem to have an unfortunate obsession with them, ah. Wind and long hair don't completely go well together but they do make for some pretty dramatic photos. You look lovely Gabrielle!

I am so envious of your changing season, even those biting winds. They are bliss to me. Layering up, the only time when being warm is ok in my books and rainy days. Mmm. Though hair blowing about it pretty annoying, worst yet with painted lips. I'd suggest a transition into matte, but somehow they get caught there too. Could be a "Sonia" thing however.

Firstly, I love including outtakes, and this one here is the cutest. In the past, I've never really been keen on hoods and hooded outerwear, but in the past few years I've grown fond of them. This style you're wearing is great, and has a touch of bold colour inside that I love. You look lovely Gabrielle. <3 /Madison
