Ooh lots of action here - new Mini Gracie colors and a lovely De Manta.
GoS I'm happy you enjoyed Overdressed. I loved it and all the factual background too (for example, high steet and increasingly also high end is full on polyester not because customers demand it but bacause there have been massive investments in Asia into new polyester production equipment). I'm seriously thinking about remodeling some old clothes - can't get material like that anywhere any more. And definitely even more critical of fast fashion.
Have gotten my share of rain - missing Italy already. It is interesting how different cities influence my dressing style. In Rome, I live in a very conservative neighborhood (the garage where we keep our car is full of vintage Ferraris). Feminine dresses, classic handbags and heels are perfect there. Here in the North our place is in the heart of the city in a neighborhood with a hipster vibe. Solid, funky color, odd eyeglasses, edgy shoes and vintage bits dominate. I went out to have a walk in the rain in my bright red Danafae raincoat (that just looks out of place in Rome) and my leather look leggings: an aging rocker was trying to pick me up 
Walked through the big department store nearby - sales in full swing, very happy that I did not succumb to the Massimo Dutti boucle jacket because I found this D&G boucle jacket that has bright dots of my favorite colors and mint green chain detailing. Bought it 50% off, the 36 is slightly too small for me, need to go and check if one of their branches has 38. Also found the city freezing cold and bought an extra layering piece from Vero Moda. Have forgotten how to layer... Have forgotten how difficult it is to coordinate shoes, jeans, various layering pieces, jackets, coats, scarves, handbags and umbrellas... Have forgotten how only ugly and boring shoes work in this weather. May have to spend the rest of vacation in my Ilse Jacobsen short rubber boots 
Loved Verity's selfmade Marant - hope you get lots of chances to wear it! My billowy Marant is perfect for the Nordic non-summer, warm enough worn with skinnies (I found a pair of forgotten 7FAM Roxannes - I altered them a year ago because my stick legs need an ultra skinny leg - they feel all new and fresh now).
DC (full of restless rainy day energy) are tearing down the house, need to go now... I had left here their sets of Ticket to Heaven Rubber Rain outfits, so we'll go and play in the rain.
