Brrr! Looking at the mist, fog and dull sky outside the window today, I think we can safely say that the British winter’s on it’s way. I think we’re going to completely bypass autumn, just like we did summer this year and head straight for torrential rain. Excellent. I, like many people, hate this time of year— it’s cold, wet, windy, your hair turns to a frizzy mess (or you suffer from Hat Hair) and everyone seems to get ill— plus the days are so short. Rubbish.

They are few and far between, and I have to look really hard for them, but one of the redeeming features of this season, is shopping for a winter coat. I like mine to be warm and cosy, functional with big pockets and cinch me in at the waist, but I haven’t found anything I’ve fallen in love with just yet. I like the pieces I’ve picked above, particularly #no2, but it doesn’t have a hood and I have a feeling that I’ll be needing one from now on, because as much as I feel like Supermum sometimes, I don’t think I can battle with wind, rain, baby, pram and umbrella all at once.

Have you chosen your winter coat yet? I’m genuinely interested to see what others have picked, so let me know what you’re going for this year!
