Coats That Inspire me

Winter is coming and I want to be ready for it I have some nice coats however as mentioned before I have put weight on but also I need to update my look and come with something fresh.

Here are some Coats that I really love and I will attempt to make my self a coat using these examples as inspiration.

I love Mori Girl style, Lagen Look, These two styles are very fluid and therefore very comfortable but smart looking.


I love these two women, they are eccentric and loud but I love it.  The coat on the left looks very warm just like a duvet.









Would love to make this litte 50's number


Watch out to see what I come up with.

Some inspiration for redecorating my house.

I need to re do my Bathroom, Toilet and Kitchen and so I have been looking on Pinterest to get inspired.  I want to redecorate on a shoe string as I don't believe in spending vast amounts of money.
Here is what I found and I really love the effects and I am going to appropriate them into my rooms.

Styles to Adopt

Recently I have gained around 9 pounds in weight and I am hovering around 13 stone at the moment.  So you could call me pLUS sIZE lol .  I have had to adapt my style in order to look descent.  When I was young I always loved dungarees and I always wanted pinafores but  When you buy clothes from high street shops you can never get what you want or achieve the image that you visualise in your head because you have to buy what is in fashion, which is always very limited for a limited amount of time.  If you want something specific you have to wait until it comes round again.  I can not be bothered with that so for many years I have abandoned the high St.  and been absolutely fascinated with discovering other styles and looks both retro and vintage and making them work for me.  I have also developed my sewing skills so that I am not a slave to fashion and I can make what I want, when I want it.

So here are Styles that I admire, that I have found on Pinterest and that I hope to create in the future.

What can I do with my Three Black Faces

I have shown this collage in other blogs and I decided to see what it would look like in patterns













I could go on forever, in fact I should keep going on and on to see what the outcome would be.
