Fur Sure






I got this coat a few months ago (back when I still had a reasonable amount of income coming in) at H&M for 50% off. It is love! Albeit a bit too small in the chest area. A girl could pop some snaps if she wasn't careful. But that's beside the point. It was a great purchase for only $55. Don't you just want to pet me?

As you probably very well can see, I changed my blog layout. I hope y'all like it. I'll probably be making a few tweaks over the next couple of days, but this is it! I figured it was time for a change.

And, here's my obligatory I-hope-everyone-had-a-wonderful-Christmas statement. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I did. So hopefully you did, too.

Coat: H&M
Booties: Seychelles

  22. I love vintage inspired coats, especially in red and especially with fur. I would have bought it too without question, even though I'd totally pop those snaps.

  26. Ahhhh I saw this coat at H&M! Annoyingly they only had tiny ones left or the massive ones. I was tempted to buy one that was too small but I had the same issues with the moneymakers...

    I forgot to keep checking back for it and seeing it on you reminds me of how wonderful it was and I'm now kicking myself for not trying to track it down in every H&M in London! Gah!

    Merry Christmas! x x

  27. This deep shade of wine is lovely on you and I love the shape of the coat. Would never know it was a wee bit tight.
    (Merry Christmas, Happy new year to you, too!)

  29. Ashley, I adore the new layout! Particularly your changes to your "About Me." Hilarious. Especially about the teddy bears and cupcakes. You have such a cynical sense of humor, but it's wonderful. That coat of yours is stunning! It looks cozy too. I love the gorgeous color and the fur and the black satin tie and well, everything about it. I have coat envy. In answer to your questions, no, I do not wear contacts. I tried them out before, but then I went cruelty-free and I don't buy any products from companies that test on animals. I haven't been able to find a cruelty-free brand of contacts, unfortunately. I'm just a four-eyes everyday. I'd love to see you in your glasses some time! I bet you look cute! And yes, we do have snakes. They're not rampant or anything though. I am so glad you had a great Christmas!

    **kisses**

  34. Super loving the new layout. Like LOVING it. That coat is incredible on you. 55 is a freakin fantastic price too.

    I'm so hungry but my chef is asleep. My chef is Ian. And he's a rock'n good cook. Should I make a bunch of noise to accidentally awaken him? Ok. Thanks for the advice.

    xoxo,
