Now I'm obsessed by another pricy parka the "Sophia" by Acne however praying all gods it's available in my size and the color I want BUT with a giant discount! Otherwise, making do with last year's Uniqlo down. But thanks for reminding me of Zara, they always have a great variety of downs.Aïssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17200586147804815951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-45921304702798139322013-11-28T23:01:53.528+00:002013-11-28T23:01:53.528+00:00I was trying to avoid the shiny path - there are s...I was trying to avoid the shiny path - there are some scary coats out there.

I spent a few pennies on it so feel I can't replace yet but boy does it look the pits. I wish I hadn't made such an impulsive buy but I was desperate to be covered up in the wet school runs :( xGlamRosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05715232195418834831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-1925965297531946852013-11-28T20:49:20.516+00:002013-11-28T20:49:20.516+00:00Oh you are hilarious ..

Don't they hurt your hands as you take them in and out of your pockets? Small technical detail which irritates me on my otherwise gorgeous Michael Mortell waxed jacket which I've had for about 12 years.

Put it this way, if it's raining, I tend to leave it behind as it's a cotton outer. This black one is a different ball game - this one was bought with a practical (and a teeny little fashion) head on. And the long sleeves are actually a bonus - I can wear my touch screen gloves and still tuck them inside my sleeves. Double insulation! <br /><br />And you have snow already?
