This is my summer coat www.allsaints.com/women/coats/allsaints-emil-mac/?colour=4355&category=117
God, I luffs it! It go with everything and elevates anything to stylish. Am totally in love with it. Best impulse buy ever. It's longer on me because I'm a short arse, but I think it looks better longer.

In lreland. Saw a blazer in Pamela Scott reduced from 110 to 25. Perfect with jeans. Navy with white. Sounds awful but really lovely. Good quality. Good fit.

Oh thanks. Sorry for not coming back sooner. Am planted on the sofa with a hot honey and lemon throbbing head and sore throat. Confused
Feeling a little sorry for myself maybe some online browsing would be good.
The all saints one is lovely, but I had something similar a few years ago, and I just couldn't get on with it. It never hung right and got in the way and I felt it just wasn't right for me - though I love them one others - I actually tried that all saints one on last April.

Bexicles what is the sizing like on the h&m jacket?

MamehaSan · 17/06/2016 21:44

phoolani, that allsaints coat looks lovely... but has it got short sleeves? I can't make out if they're just styled that way for the photos or if they're full length (been looking for a coat like that myself, but I really, really don't get coats with short sleeves. If it's cold / wet enough to require a coat, I don't want my arms out!)

You need this jacket in your life. I've worn mine to death. Washes beautifully, too.

The h and m one though lovely is too slouchy too

Ahhhhh

Mame - on me the sleeves sit just above my wrist; obviously my arms aren't as long as the model's! I like it, I think nothing makes a coat/jacket look cheap/weird more than over long sleeves.
