A very exciting purchase

I bought my first Burberry coat!

I had always dreamed of buying a Burberry coat but never really thought I would take the plunge. I had been saving for new bag, but in recent weeks was really unsure about my choices. My beautiful new Longchamp Le Pliage Neo is actually all I want in terms of new bag purchases right now, so thought now might be the time to finally get a Burberry coat.

The coat I bought is the leather-trimmed wool-blend twill coat in black. It is single breasted with a funnel neck and made of very thick warm wool.

I bought my coat at the Burberry store in Knightsbridge, a beautiful branch I had often walked past but had never gone in.

I tried on a few styles, including trenches but decided that with my small frame, a structured trench actually made me look quite boxy. This single breasted funnel neck style is beautifully made, and can be adjusted with the neck down with wide lapels, or with the neck up when it's especially cold.

This coat was £795 and is still available from Burberry and Net-A-Porter.
