Help me find a similar coat (Mrs Brown in Paddington Bear)!

i really liked the pink-red patterned coat Mrs Brown was weraing in Paddington bear - it would really suit me! it looks like Boden, but there is nothing similar on their website at the moment. I generally liked her quirky clothes - probably all custom-made for the film!

I would really like their house.

christinarossetti · 02/01/2015 19:25

Mrs Brown reminded me of how I used to dress in the late 80s/early 90s!

Bit less colourful now, though do still like a nice bit of well cut wool.

christinarossetti · 02/01/2015 19:25

Yes! I was mentally redesigning their house the whole way through the film.

AWimbaWay · 02/01/2015 19:52

The house was gorgeous!

runningandjumping · 02/01/2015 21:47

Thanks AWimbaway for the links, it definitely gave me some ideas! I really loved the house too! Sadly a house like this is completely out of reach so I must be happy just with a coat.

CJBK, I also loved almost everything Mrs Brown wore! It's such a lovely quirky style!

Just back from seeing the film and started looking for ideas on how to look a bit more Mrs. Brown! She looked great and that house - just loved the tree going up the stairs.

BlueEyedWonder · 03/01/2015 09:31

Loved her clothes. My new style icon!

Bexicles · 03/01/2015 10:45

Loved the interior design of the house especially the spiral staircase and the boys bedroom.

cjbk1 · 04/01/2015 16:50

Yes their house was lovely running and no I'd never be able to afford it even if I saved every penny I earn , never mind eh? the tree is do-able tho I suppose on normal stairs
I also liked how Alex Kingston dressed in marchlands few years ago

They have a similar style to Mrs Brown

Helicoptopus · 04/01/2015 21:31

Ooh nice coats wishi ! So now we're agreed she's a style icon, where to go for the rest of the wardrobe?

That gorgeous funnel neck sweater (grey-the yellow one is Gap) is keeping me awake googling.

TheRollingCrone · 04/01/2015 23:04

I have the 3/4 length red cable sweater she wore (never would have thought of teaming with a pussy cat bow blouse).

I may have repeated this once or 20 times to my 7 yr dd. She wasn't so impressed.

The wardrobe was perfect. I kept thinking "I wonder if that's a MNetters house" you all live like that in my head Grin .

Ujjayi · 05/01/2015 10:01

I would say her style is very Avoca or Anthropologie.

TheRollingCrone - where is the red cable jumper from?
