I heart romance

I fell in love with this Monte Carlo coat from Long Tall Sally’s Spring Collection. - £120

I heart frill leather jacket

This beautiful detailed grey leather jacket is now only available in sizes 8 and 10 from Topshop -  Tall - £140 but I thought it was a thing of beauty.

I heart leggings

Even Madonna with all her millions has been spotted browsing in Oxfam. She is a creative woman and the mistress of reinvention.  Its fun to shop ‘Charity’ style and the thrill of finding a treasure - like a vintage coat or dress is such an amazing rush.  Its great to mix up old and new.  Often I find vintage coats are made with better quality fabrics.  As mentioned before, the sleeves can come up rather short and either need to be lengthened, if there is enough turn up or worn with longer gloves.  Accessories are from Asos which have some great sale bargains this week.
