Of Furry Boots and the Eiffel Tower

Day II of semester II and this is what I wore to college.

I went thrift shopping with my girlfriends after class and got some very cute stuff which I'll be sharing on the blog soon :).

I wear a minimum of two sweaters nowadays and I'm bringing out all the warm boots and polo-necks I own! I often wonder what I'd do if I were actually born in a cold country like Canada! I have zero resistance to cold!

 

Wearing:

Black polo-neck sweater and open creme hooded sweater: Benetton, Electric blue jeans: Fifth Avenue, Boots: South Extension Market (last year), Pendant: present

My friends gave me my birthday present the other day (my birthday was in October so it's a little late, but the presents make up for it :)). This Eiffel Tower chain pendant is one of them and the moment I saw it I instantly fell in love :)

Don't we all just LOVE presents?

 

My beaten up furry boots = Warmth + Comfort = :D

Semester II

It's back to school for me and this is what I wore on my first day of semester II, it was a chilly day, which meant 2 sweaters + a coat!

Since I mentioned coats, I thought I'd share a little something about :

TRENCH COATS

 The trench coat was first developed during the 1st World War after which it became an item of clothing for the British Army. Invention of the trench coat is claimed by both Burberry and Aquascutum, with Aquascutum's claim dating back to the 1850s. But Burberry still makes some of the best and most beautiful trench coats!

 Infact, the Burberry trench is so iconic that the brand has a website Art of the Trench
which is a beautiful collection of photographs of real people from all over the world wearing Burberry trench coats and outerwear (Shot by the God; Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist himself). It celebrates the heritage and history of the Burberry trench.
 

Wearing:

Striped polo-neck sweater: Benetton, Black cardigan: GAP, tights: Kaza, Knitted boots: Venus Steps, Coat: Vibe, Bag: Kipling

 
 

Sunshine on your face on a chilly winter day is pure BLISS!

Thanks for stopping by,

Black Beret

The Beret is my favorite type of hat for winters!

In the West, it started of being worn as sportswear in the 1920's and later became a fashion statement.The modern beret is derived from the traditional hat of Basque shepherds and was first mass-produced in 19th century France, with which it still remains associated (the french really know how to be stylish huh?). In fact, berets are also worn as part of the uniform of many military and police units worldwide.

Wearing:

Black beret: Forever 21, Black Forever 21 stretch pants, Grey sleeveless sweater: Benetton (brother's again!), Black t-shirt: thrift, Belts: Bangkok street, Suede ankle boots: Charlotte Russe, jewellery: gift from friend and thrift, Bag: Delia's

Beret's instantly transport me to Paris, and, if worn right they can add a Parisienne Chic touch to most outfits :)

I over-edited this photo just to play with the bright and fun colours of the belts!

That's my current bag for college, its big and roomy and magically fits in books, food, stationary and a hundred other things!

I love small satchels and sling bags, but I tend to carry EVERYTHING with me wherever I go, so I can rarely carry the small pretty bags that I love so much!

Are you a big, medium or small bag girl???
