A TIMELESS ESSENTIAL: THE TRENCH

. THE CLASSIC, ALL TIME, ALL ROUND, TRENCH .

The trench coat is one of those staple outer wear items that no matter what year, what century & what season, it works. The best thing about this is that you can get last season coats, for an absolute bargain, yet they’re still totally on point, and if anything could be taken off the shelf this season. This trench coat is a little French Connection number I spontaneously bought as a result of the price tag (i’m a sucker for a bargain). A £170 coat reduced to £39 … who was I to say no. Yes I already have a trench coat, but this is a little chicer, more professional, a little more durable. The coat has proven a rather worthwhile purchase too, because with this seriously nippy weather (i’m afraid Autumn is approaching before we’ve even had a summer in the UK) i’ve been getting tons of wear out of it.

Things have been really busy lately, with work & my blog upping the anti, that i’ve found myself wanting to wrap up in warm and comforting clothing, this look is the perfect comfy look that’s suitable for work too. The silver lining to a busy blog line up is that I have loads of exciting projects and collaborations in the pipeline, i’m really excited about where this all might lead to, and hopefully if it continues on this little path I may be actionin-ing my own tips on turning my blog into my full time business (as opposed to juggling two full time commitments). Oh the dream! But yes, lots of exciting things to come & I have loads of ideas I’m putting into action on my little www dot. Including the launch of an app which you can now download here … how very exciting!

Let me know what you think of the app? And your thoughts on the trench, are you a fan?
