If there is something that makes us hardly enthusiastic is searching for a new coat, why? because as far as fashion investments go, a new coat is one that needs to tick way too many boxes.

Look of the Week – Natural and Sexy
The woman pictured above is responsible for our latest obsession (see post below), and she sings the tune we are listening the most to in our iPod. Natalie Imbruglia does the natural yet sexy look for her Want video. With those eyes and sultry brunette locks, you would need little more – just some black mascara, a natural and light foundation, finish off with some transparent lip gloss.
We are coveting…THOSE Boots
It’s happened, we are in love (yes, I hear you say, again) and already heartbroken at the price tag. Fashion Limbo is in dire need of a rich husband, or new adoptive parents? We have been ignoring this Balmain boots for a while, telling ourselves “it’s no for us” or “they wouldn’t make us happy” and even “we will forget about them and find something better”. However, my dears, it hurts, and even when we look at some cheaper versions… brace yourselves, it’s just not the same.
Cardigans for Men – Not For Geeks, or Maybe…
Cardigans look best on guys with narrower frames, but if that is not the case, simply choose one that is not too fitted. It will add movement to your look, and layers, when properly done, can make you look trimmer.
When Leopards Eat Too Many Berries
Not so long ago, a girl we know (hey Kate!) was looking for a red leopard dress she spotted someone wearing. While this jumper/dress by Dorothy Perkins may not be the same thing, it would surely look stunning on said girl.
A Small Guide to the ManBag
Last but not least, a handy bag that can fit very few essentials, but is still too gorgeous to ignore, this black bag from Hugo Boss is certainly stylish yet practical, for those of you who need little more than a pretty girl/guy next to you.
Fake Fur – Right or Wrong?
We recently treated ourselves to the faux fur leopard-print jacket pictured above (by Pull and Bear). We are in love with it. It’s great to team with jeans, it’s warm, the most comfortable jacket we have worn in a long time… should we go on?
Look of the Day – Leighton Meester
One of the things we are enjoying a lot lately is all the coverage fashion shows are getting, focusing not only what goes on up and down the catwalk, but what occurs around it. A mostly anticipated show at Paris this week was the Marc Jacobs collection for Louis Vuitton, and celebrities appeared in their dozens.
Supermodels’ Beach Stroll
Featured on the cover of US Teen Vogue, supermodels Chanel Iman (left) and Jourdan Dunn make us want to drive to the beach right now… and stroll around with the same endless legs and genuine style. However, as that is simply not going to happen we will have to settle for this glamorous photo shoot for the teen magazine. The printed edition will hit US newsstands on October 13th.
Hot Trend – Add a Cape
A simple way to add some quirkiness to your wardrobe can be done with one of the hottest pieces of the moment, the cape. Featured in Glamour UK, Natalie Portman wears a small cape perfect for this crazy weather. Team with skinny jeans for true effortless cool.
