Well, the cold days are creeping in and I take it back slightly what I said, as much as I love winter clothing I can’t stand cold hands and feet! It’s blog posts like this one today that make it all worth while, with pastel pretties to brighten the day. Even though it is getting colder and the days shorter, I wont wear dreary, boring clothes for anyone! I was so happy last year when it was made acceptable to wear pastel in winter for the first time, with the famous ‘pink boyfriend coat’ seen everywhere. This year the trend is back in full force which makes me very pleased indeed.
If there is one thing every girl should have, it is a good quality coat. In the UK it is vital that it gets you through all weathers including wind, rain and cold! This pale blue polka dot beauty from today’s outfit is an all rounder and just about ticks all the boxes. It’s from Joules, one of my families favourite brands and they are good old reliable with all the athletically pleasing elements that you would want also. This particular style is Wind proof, shower proof and breathable which as sad as this sounds made me very excited. And although these photos were taken on a sunny autumn day, I got to test it out yesterday just when the showers came over the UK. Even though the weather was dark and depressing, all I could look forward to is testing out the coat when going to the local shop! It lived up to it’s expectations and did exactly what it said, keeping me dry. As it is also in my favourite colour with the added cutness of polka dots i’d say this is a complete treat and one I intend on cherishing this winter.
When worn over a pretty dress you get this dreamy retro feel. Grey tights and boots are all that is needed to complete the look and of course a pastel bag to go with it’s sweetness. I can’t wait to team it over a vintage jumper and black jeans for a more preppy style.

A special thanks to Ailera Stone and Beaxoxo for a wonderful day photoshooting! We went to this adorable cupcake shop in Chelsea called Peggy Porschen for photos and chit chat. The day was for shooting a lookbook for Beauxoxo winter styles that will be released soon. The cupcake shop matched it perfectly as well as my outfit so all in all a top day!
P.S I just checked the website and the coat has now been reduced! Totally worth the price.
