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.

Personal style that I admire - Lynn Yaeger

While surfing the net and looking on Pinterest I came across an Interesting looking woman and I had to pin her.

Yesterday I decided to find out who this woman was.  So I did a bit of research.

This lady is called  Lynn Yaeger. She is a contributing fashion editor to Vogue.com and a contributing writer to Vogue. She is a former fashion reporter for The Village Voice, having worked for the paper for 30 years.

She lives in New York and is an avid collector of many different things.  She loves collecting  vintage cardigans and 1920s bracelets; rag dolls meant to resemble French cartoon 
characters, Becassine dolls) and Victorian children's jewelry--

the rarer, the more elusive, the less findable, the better.

I'm not sure how old she is, I can't seem to find any information about her age.  But here are some of the outfits that she wears which I love.  She always has that distinctive Ginger Short Bob/Bowl cut`.  Black drawn on dolls lips and two dots of rouge just like her dolls.

Lynn is the original Largen Look Girl
