khaki+aFURtrim

I've had mine since I was 13, my mum made me buy it like two sizes to big so it would 'last' and so my blazer would fit underneath it... My two housemates have also invested in them... I've seen countless high street versions, furless, big and baggy, sleek and fitted... Yes, I'm talking about the Parka coat. 


Lookbook girls all over the world are wearing the Parka's with all different outfits; patterned trousers, jeans, wedges, stripes, chunky cardigans and snuggy scarves. I love wearing mine with skinny jeans, a knitted jumper, cute little pixie boots & my satchel. Do you own a parka? Whats your standard outfit?

Prices vary on the parkas, I've chosen a few of my favourites: River Island, Topshop, ASOS, Boohoo, H&M,  New Look, (New Look have the biggest variety!)

Happy Monday girls, I hope its been a lovely day. I think I'm coming down with tonsillitis, boo. Should be getting some mo-honey tomorrow (payday woo) so I may be visiting West Quay (shopping centre in southampton) Some new clothes for moi. Mwhahahahahaha.

I love Parka's! They remind me of The Who and Mods and scooter rally's and Quadrophenia which is basically all three rolled in to one very excellent film!
I've now banned myself from West Quay, I just can't control my debit card when i'm anywhere near the place!

I bought a khaki one from H&M a couple of weeks ago and have lived in it. So it was only right that when it went into the sale online this week I also bought it in cream! x
