The things I like all look like dupes of things which I already have which makes no sense in buying them again. But I like to find that something which takes over from the Stans which dominated the shoe front last year for me.

And sometimes, the best things are available when you least expect them to turn up. You're totally right about the coat being a "throw on" item though.
