It's chilly outside: the duvet coat

The last few weeks lulled us into a false sense of Winter temperature security and as the mercury dropped over the weekend I was FROZEN as I walked into town for a spot of bargain hunting on Saturday. The section of my skinny-jean clad leg between the bottom of my coat and top of my knee high boot was in agony by the time I hit Starbucks. So after my caffeine recharge and gossip with the lovely Katherine I went searching for something prevent this Baltic experience occurring again.

Sipping this as I type...
I found the ultimate dream coat in Monsoon. It is literally a duvet. Stuffed with down and feathers it is the closest feeling to being in bed. Bliss. This may conjure up images of Michelin man styling but I think it still looks really feminine with a nipped in waist and super high collar which converts into a hood.

So when mr blogmebeautiful took me out for dinner that evening on went the duvet coat and whist he complained about being freezing as we went back into town I was toasty warm and super snug. It is so cozy that I'm sad when I have to take it off. This is love.

So happy in my duvet coat, which I've teamed with a belt to emphasis my waist

I know this post isn't strictly beauty related, but worth telling you all about, none the less.

My Monsoon coat is £120 but if you have bought a previous item from Monsoon recently you may have been given a cheeky 20% discount voucher which I used (and legitermized my purchase with). A red or white version is also available half price in store.

    1. Zara also have some great versions in the sale which are a bit more slim line and without such a massive collar which might be worth a look x
