Hello pretty, red Burberry coat!

DSC04484

As you might guess from the headline, I've acquired a coat by Thomas Burberry today. It was sort of an impulse buy, but the coat was on sale and I'd wanted a pretty red coat for so long. I had quite a hard time choosing between this one and a red Marc by Marc Jacobs coat, which was really nice too, and really warm and thick, but I thought the Burberry coat had a nicer cut. I also bought some bubblegum coloured tights from Filippa K.

I also walked around in Helsingborg and I took some nice pictures. I'm really starting to like this city a lot!

Hello! good night!! I cannot sleep! Let me tell you that I love your red coat!! I like best the first one, with the black 'buttoms', and it suits you so well! I had a red coat from Bershka but I gave it to my sister.. cause once I had some extra kilos at my back and when I lost them, the coat is still hers!! anyways. Umm, maybe Vero Moda and Primark buy their stuff at the same place?! I dont know, it's the only explanation I can find! interesting! Oh, Im going to Japan in March with some friends, on vacation, I still cannot believe it! I confess Im a bit afraid cause it is such a big place and they dont speak English (and we have no idea of Japanesse)!! but it will be fun, Im looking forward to it :) The city you're in now, is in the north or the south of Sweden? it is really beautiful, that forest pic is so great! my dream is to travel to Scandinavia and esp. Sweden sometime (Göterborg, Stockholm, etc) and also Norway and the Fiords, etc. Hope you had a nice day, greetings!!

You made the perfect choice with the red coat. It has a more classical look and shape, so it's definitely going to be more versatile.
These pictures are STUNNING. Thank you for sharing them. Oooh, you can see Denmark from there? (is it the land across the sea, in that picture?) How fascinating.

Bianca said...

the coat is gorgeous!!!! I love it
AHHH. I live in America but I went to Denmark for 10 days with an exchange program last year. I also had a Danish student stay with me for 10 days.
I can fully say that it was the best experience in high school. I love denmark so much, I love the city, and style.
My school does the program every year with about 20 danish and american students.The porgram is only offered to juniors(3rd year of high school) so i cant do it again this year but I still meet all the danish students and i cant wait!!

The photos you took are beautiful! It seems like a lovely place
I think you made the right decision with the coat too, it's a classic that won't date

Amanda Megan Miller said...

Lovely photos!!

And talk about JEALOUS! I want that coat! Ohh, the Marc one is delicious too, but I think you made the right choice with the Burberry, it has a more classic timeless look.

I's a beautiful coat (*_*).

Kay said...

Such beautiful photos!
Good choice on the coat as well, it's lovely. I prefer it to the Marc one because I think the collar and buttons work better with the fit and overall vibe.

I would still like to try it because I want to work in fashion when I'm older, and I think it's a really good way to submerge yourself in the whole fashion world. However I don't have nearly enough confidence in my chances so I would never go to an agency or anything! So basically I'd be relying on getting spotted again, which I doubt would happen

Hi Ariella!! hope you had a great day! Im going to Japan in March, 10 days, on vacation, today I was organizing the trip with friends, but as you said, there are so many things to see that I think we shouldnt sleep! haha!! we plann to visit Tokyo (5 days), Kyoto (3 days), Nikko (1 day) and 1 evening Osaka. My dream since a lot of years is going to Scandinavia sometime, but Im so happy to visit Japan too! but it was a fast decision, the flight cost 600 E (from my city to Paris and then to Tokyo) and the hotels, well, if you want Japanesse style (sleeping in the ground, no beds, just the sheets and a 'futon') that's cheaper, we found a place for 22 E every night, but if you want western style (with beds) thats a bit more expensive, we have that too (for 35 E/night), we're doing both styles. Eating is also cheap (you can even eat for 2 E), the most expensive thing is the transportation, but there is a special pass for tourists. Everybody thinks Japan is so expensive, but it isnt, for example, a coke costs 0,79 E and in spain (at a bar I mean) it costs 1,50 E. Im sorry to write that much!! Hope you have a nice time, I really love all those pictures you uploaded, the forecasts and the roofs of the houses, so beautiful! Take care, greetings!
