There's a absolutely gorgeous winter coat in River Island with fur round the collar and cuffs
And it has diamanté buttons too
I will be getting it in the navy shade
And it'll do for my birthday too as my mother always said I was her late Christmas present!

I've just looked it up and it's lovely! Won't you want to wear it before Christmas, though?

I’ve seen a 9 carat gold ring with an amethyst and several cubic zirconias in a lovely setting, in a local independent jeweller’s shop. It has £ 100 off in the sale.

I would love DH to buy it for me for Christmas. It could happen. I might ask.

My DD got a handbag for Christmas last year , of course she used it beforehand as we went away for a weekend and he had an evening out in London so it had to have it's first trip out 😄

It’s gorgeous! But yeah, get it before Christmas so you can wear to parties and panto! I love a cosy but glam coat to wear at Christmas

Mary46 · 02/09/2026 07:15

It is fab op very nice coat

Wheesht2 · 02/09/2026 07:56

It’s beautiful very like the Fairfax and Favour orange one That I’ve always loved but couldn’t buy as I’d not get a lot of cost per wear.

Davros · 02/09/2026 09:41

I can’t see that coat, the link doesn’t work 😣

Davros · 02/09/2026 09:43

I think I found it on the website. I think it’s very elegant, it would be no good on my round torso but will look fab on the OP (even though I don’t know what she looks like!).

If I were you I'd get it before it's gone

I've just put a second hand garnet and diamond ring away in a jewellers. It's got a vintage setting. I love Garnets and have just started to wear rings again. I've done it over six months, incase my finances go pear shaped, but I can pay it off whenever it suits me. I've got two Navy dresses I could wear over Christmas and might go red with my Jewellery. I've got a gold reindeer necklace, from QVC diamonque range and he's got a red nose.

That is a lovely coat.

Not clothing, but just seen that Michael Ball is going to star in a new production of ‘Charlie and chocolate factory’ next year, so that’s a little something for me, disguised as dh’s birthday present…

afaloren · 02/09/2026 14:28

Oh OP! That’s not what I had in my head at all, it’s totally gorgeous. You’ll love wearing it!

MyGallbladderIsAFucker · 02/09/2026 16:44

I absolutely think it's important to treat ourselves even just a bottle of bubble bath we wouldn't buy normally because it's a small bottle or whatever.
I've got into jewellery this year but I am not going back to cheap costume jewellery which I did when I was much younger so I will look in the sales and treat myself to something:-)

O it definitely needs to be shown off over the full season!

Frumpitydoo · 03/09/2026 06:33

I've just had a nosey (didn't know River Island still existed!), it's beautiful. I have some Collectif Pearl coats which are a more extreme version of this and i love them to bits!!!

NoEligibilityRequirementsApply · 03/09/2026 09:09

I love it. But sadly I'm short and fat with skinny legs so would like like decorated mushroom rather than Lara from Dr Zhvigao.
