Yesterday I ventured out into the deep British wintertime in a sleeveless gilet. I was cold. Today, I’ve learnt my lesson…
Vintage wool coat, Reiss wool jumper via charity shop, Primark jeans, Ravel heels c/o Sarenza, Lauren Elan necklace, Zara bag
At the weekend I nipped to my favourite charity shops for a mooch around and came out with two absolute triumphs. The coat is by Italian designer Marella and is pure wool – the slouchy fit is perfect for wrapping up against the wind, and all for just £9.99. The grey jumper is the kind of thing I’d shell out for – it’s a basic shade, meaning it goes with everything, it’s a relaxed fit and it’s beautifully made in pure wool. I’m guessing this beauty would cost me around £80 brand new in Reiss, but from my local branch of Mind? £6.50!
Ravel ‘Heidi’ heels c/o Sarenza
I love tough pieces with a feminine edge – these amazing heels by Ravel have cute ruffle details to balance the studs, while my new Lauren Elan necklace mixes dainty diamante with rough rocks and gold chain. Gorgeous.
So that’s me – what are you wearing today?
That coat is stunning, and an absolute steal. I want me one.
i loveee the colour of ur coat and ur heals 🙂 xxxxx
I went out today. Didn’t bother with a coat. I thought; mildest Winter we’ve had on record, crocus blooming in the garden, blue tits building in the nest box, Jen didn’t wear a coat yesterday & she’s further North than me…
I was ruddy freezing. And it’s partly your fault! Teehee! x
Oh Jo! I am very sorry for encouraging such reckless behaviour. Hope you’re now snuggled up with a blanket and a cuppa! 🙂
Absolutely love your coat – it’s such a classic! x
You are a charity shop thrifting pro!
Nice coat, lovely.

Now your arms are warm but aren’t your feet cold? =)
Those studded heels are gorgeous.
Admittedly my feet were a little cold! 😉
Those shoes are ahmayzinggg
This post is full of so many lusts! I adore your coat, it’s actually beautiful and so expensive looking! Your shoes are amazing too!

Ravel shoes? As in, the shop Ravel? Is that brand still going?

I found it weird too, Nicki! Hadn’t heard from them in years and don’t think they have any shops… but they’re one of the brands sold on Sarenza so guess they’re still going in some capacity! 🙂
Ooh you look very ladylike and fancy today!
I am beyond jealous of your bargains, especially that beautiful coat!

Absolutely stunning coat! What a great buy!
Looking lovely and snug today! I did get a little mother-like when I saw you braving the cold in a gilet. Always wear a coat, Jen!
Love how you styled our necklace Jen!

that wool coat was a steal, really good find. bet you’re well chuffed
Will you please stop posting such lovely jewellery? My bank balance can’t take it. I can’t replace my dying laptop and buy necklaces.
Although, I did finally track down an amazing spiked necklace after coveting yours for so long. So I guess I owe you for that one.
I want that necklace now too though. Curse you.
I did the same in a floaty chiffon jacket. Not quite enough to protect against the the elements!
Is the road at the top Victoria Road? I am sure I worked in those building???
loving the coat so much
you know, the bertie boots you have. i have them too!! in cloud nine… check out my blog, i posted about them 🙂

amazing coat.
If Del Boy had been around now he would have been trying to steal it off your back.
I want one !
Ahh one of my favourite outfits of yours to date- that coat is divine! Brilliant find 🙂

The coat is just gorgeous, I love the shape of it, and can imagine it might work well belted for a dressy occasion too. Super bargain.
Those shoes are awesome! That is definitely my style: feminine with edge 🙂
I nabbed a gorgeous deep purple coat for £10, it’s been keeping me toasty in this weather!
