Winter Coats.....

[CountessDracula]

Yay my Dad just called and said he would buy me a new winter coat for my birthday (after several hints lol)!

So come on what is out there? Want something timeless so will last not anything too of the moment as it were.

oooh, cod and hoxtonchick - I'm preparing to start the "great winter coat search" too, and parka styles sound good.

What length/colours are the ones you're considering available in? Do they have hoods - with/without fake fur trim? What fabric are they made of? Zip fastening?

May take a look, as I'm out shopping for dd this afternoon. Poor little one only has a very poor selection of clothes once she's out of her school uniform, so must remedy that..

LOVE that ribbon one, do you think it would be warm enough?

COD you are right I don't do belted as I have no waist and end up looking like a sack of spuds!

there are nice similar ones in ....( suprise) laura ashley

this is more mything if i had to haeva f ormal coat but as ussual so over priced

Cod look in the sale I bought something similar for my mum last xmas reduced from £225 to £60!

my parka ( bet they sell otu before i get theere) is in kew its 80 odd quid is thigh lenth and it coems in stone or dark green has a hood and a zip oh and hte hood is fur lined

the zip is a two way one so you can unzip if you get hot

link?

no, not on websute for some reason
have i imagined it?

hey cod there is one just up the road from me, I could buy for you at luchtime and brink on monday

oh god no i can get it here
just havent summoned up energy to get there
IS s coming?
how old is her dd?

Someone did a link to a website with lurrrvely coats but I can't remember the company. Not v useful I know and I think they were all quite dressy.

well that is sod all use.

So has anyone found a good (reasonably priced) parka style one yet? I have shopped til I dropped and came back with nowt .

like that laura ashley one cod

cheaper than my 80 offering?

per una ( potatpo in finish) had some

I'm sure you were on the thread too cod, but as we keep faffing with our names it's difficult to search for .

I am in useless lump mode today

oh me too
wudl never wear it htough

voila ptoato

Is Kew a southern based shop though? I have never heard of it I'm afraid!

think so
its very yummy mummy
i scuff around in ti lookign out of place

I like those per una ones but want one in cream or similar light colour - but everywhere seems to be in just black!

i offer you dark brwon

Hmmm got to have hood(I like fur too) and be very waterproof for thorough drenchings at school gates!!
