The elusive PARKA

Dear finders and keepers, 

I know that we are pushing fast and furious into spring but having just seen AW12 i am kinda feeling winter and more importantly i have yet to find the fittest parka that ever exists, this girl is wearing it and yes i did nearly swipe it from her back when i saw her during the shows, those in need and all that. It is a beauty, fur trimmed, navy blue a hood, long AND warm its an all round winner understood? Please advise as to where i can find such a gem. 

Sincerely, Thread

Coat constant

Dear fellow outerwear enthusiasts, 

Yes yes i have been preaching about spring and all things light and airy but you know how i do love a good coat. Besides, i live in England. Nuff said. Cape's are featuring rather heavily on my agenda i rather like the idea but feel my general scruffiness doesn't match said standard. The oversized trench however is right up my street.

Sophie Hulme ADORATION

Dear ALL,

SOPHIE HULME. Please let that name stay fixed in your brain. Her clothes, bags, outerwear, jewellery - so on so forth are quite quite exquisite. Detail is key and a colour palette that will do nothing but charm. Dinosaurs being the theme for AW12 means that frankly i can do nothing but bow to the thrown of this style savvy collection. They appeared on coats, skirts, necklaces and more, not only that there was a rather large gold one looming fabulously over the event. Enough of my chat, do your research. Sophie Hulme is the FUTURE. 

Sincerely, Thread

The timing of tweed

Dear tweed testers, 

Don't you think there is a time when tweed shouts - 'hey you, look at me. I'm classic, stylish, been around the block and back. Snap me up, i'll make you feel great.' I experienced the tweed shout the other day, i feel better for it.  

More importantly, beautiful image
