A-line spring coats

I really want an A-line coat for this spring. I wanted a coat like that for so long, but I always feel they aren't flattering on me. I tried one on at Vero Moda but I think that coat was a little bit too long. I saw another one at Steps but that one was € 120,- which is way above my budget. So here are a couple of A-line coats which are more affordable. I noticed New Look has a ton of these coats and some of these are now on sale. Some of these might qualify as winter coats, but it's still quite chilly even though spring is almost near.

Jackets at C & A

I'm obsessed with jackets, coats and biker jackets. I earlier wrote about (biker) jackets at Bershka on sale and it was so hard to not order anything. Because if I'm honest, I have quite a few. Yet when I see biker jackets I always want another one. The hearts wants what it wants I guess. I spotted some amazing (biker) jackets at C & A and of course I wanted them. They're from the new spring collection and some of these are very affordable and tempting to order.

€ 39,90

Final sale

If you're still waiting for that one jacket to get cheaper, you should buy it now if it's still in your size. The finale sale has started, which sometimes means items are 70 % cheaper. But it also means more items are already sold out. Here are some jackets and blazers that are now wonderfully priced at Bershka. If you like an item, don't wait too long because sale is almost over!

The bathroom coat

I haven't seen anybody in real life wearing the bathroom coat, but I have seen multiple bloggers wearing it and I've seen the bathroom coat at several webshops. I honestly don't really get, because I would really feel like wearing a bathroom coat. But for the people who are braver than I am, I found a classy one at New Look. 

Beginning of winter

The astronomical winter actually started yesterday, but it's not too late for this post yet. I always love using Pinterest for inspiration. Sometimes I just don't know what to wear. Plus, when it gets really cold I still want to look good. Sometimes this can be a challenge since I don't want to freeze to death either. I found some nice pictures from other bloggers on Pinterest and I wanted to share these winter outfits. Most of these outfits show jeans, tartan, stripes and cozy sweaters. Skirts and dresses can be so cold in the winter, so jeans are more practical.

The Houndstooth coat

This year I saw several houndstooth coats at different stores. None of them really appealed to me, even though I would like to try a houndstooth coat. Most of the coats were very baggy and long. They would probably look like my grandmothers coat or something. Sure, enough women can pull of that look. I (unfortunately) am not one of them. This houndstooth coat from Noisy May, which I spotted at the Vero Moda webshop, is less baggy and looks amazing.

Hot or not: the Poncho

Love or hate it, but the poncho is back. If often comes back in the winter. However you usually don't see the poncho in a lot of stores. This winter it's a very hot item. And with a poncho you can stay warm, so pun intended.

Shoplog

I received a (my mom, actually) coupon from Takko Fashion with discount on one item. There was a coupon with 30 %, 20 % and 10 %. I wanted to go to Takko Fashion for quite some time. And with these coupons I had even more reasons to go! 30 % discount on the prices at Takko Fashion is a lot, thus even cheaper clothes.

Military navy coat

I loved the military navy coat the duchess of Cambridge wore a couple of years ago. Sure it was tight and it amplified her too thin frame, she still rocked it. And guess what I found. A similar coat at She Inside like the duchess wore.

Shoplog

After days of moaning about wanting this C & A coat, I finally ordered it. Not at C & A unfortunately since it was all sold out at their webshop. Which I thought was a real shame, since their webshop is good, fast and you don't have to pay forwarding charges at the moment! But I really wanted this coat and it was only € 29,90. So when I saw the exact same jacket from C & A sold at an other webshop I was really excited. Until I saw the forwarding charges. Those were € 5,95. Which I think is ridiculously high, especially since it's a huge webshop.

Warm with the parka

My parka from C & A came in and boy I'm in love with it. I don't really like cold weather, but now I'm prepared. And I'm kinda looking forward to it with this coat. I'm sure I'll regret these words when it gets really cold. But at least I will wear my parka very often then right? This parka was only € 39,90 and I'm sure it's worth it.

Parka all the way

Parka's have been trendy for quite a while now. I can understand why, since they're warm. I'm searching for one myself. Sometimes they're quite expensive. I'm searching for an affordable parka. The coat has to be warm. The parka can't be too long, since I'm short. I don't want to look like I'm wearing my mothers coat. Even though my mom has one awesome coat which I really like. Why the sudden need for a parka? I do have several coats, but they're not really warm. I decided to show a couple of parka's which are not super expensive.

 C & A € 69,90

Shoplog

I went to a thrift shop again today. It has been quite a while. I went to a thrift shop in January and I went to the same one today. This time I saw a lot of coats, which made me happy since I love coats. It can be a challenge to go through the items. Which look good, which don't? Are there any clothes I would like to wear? Sometimes you find something you like and sometimes you don't. I succeeded, just like the last time.

Get your coats ready

I don't know what it is, but I love coats. I remember when I was a kid, I had a red coat with Minnie Mouse on it. I freaking loved the coat. I'm not saying that's where my love for coats came from. But I do know that I have had this obsession for several years. I do have a lot of obsessions, so that's not saying much. 

 Mango € 99,99

What your heart desires

Sometimes looking at inspiration for blog posts can be the worst for your wallet. I just saw this amazing coat (my weakness) at She Inside. It's probably not very warm, but it's certainly an eye catcher.

This coat with hearts is now € 25,29 during the pre sale. With this coat, you're ready for Valentine or any other romantic date. This coat can of course be used for every day as well. You can buy it here.

Outfits of the week: Week 11

Sunny, with a chance of wind. Pretty much describes the weather in the Netherlands last week. But it's not technically spring yet, so I'm not worried. I do enjoy the fact the it doesn't get dark so early. Love it! Aside from the sunny weather, I went bowling with colleagues and as usual, I was really busy with school work ( I had to stop for a while, because the questions didn't come through anymore).

Scarf weather

Just in time for the cold weather! My tartan scarf from the H & M came in. 

It's not as huge and warm as my other scarf, so I won't be wearing my new tartan scarf if it's freezing outside. But it's warm enough when it's above the freezing point. And it looks amazing with this coat from the New Yorker.

H & M spring collection 2014 online

I showed pictures of the spring collection 2014 from H & M. The spring collection is now online on the website, but most of the items are different than in this post. I wanted to make a collage of the items at first, so you don't have to scroll. But that failed miserably, because I like too many items. Thus, another post with a lot of scrolling. I'm not that fond of all the clothes, but I love a lot of it. I guess have to save a lot of money so I can buy a lot. Luckily I got a H & M gift card from my parents with Christmas. Can't wait to use it!

Outfits of the week: Week 51

This week I went to my sister E. She celebrated her birthday with a very nice dinner. It was also very windy this week. Not that great when you want to shoot outfit photos! And how can I forget, I went shopping in Zwolle with my mom.

I went to Almere today, to do some good old fashioned shopping! Always nice. Especially since I heard the sale has started and who can resist that? I don't.
