This Season’s Hero Is All about Being Cosy

This Season’s Hero Is All about Being Cosy on vickiarcher.com


The winter chill is not all bad, especially when there is plenty to be cosy about.

This season the shearling jacket, faux or real, seems to be dominating the horizon.


I was debating whether to mention these fuzzy furs after the white boots yesterday – many weren’t convinced they were a good idea – but I will, because I absolutely love our chats when we get involved and agree to disagree. I appreciate we aren’t all on the same page and the interaction that flows from this is where my ideas to show and tell originate – without that I would be working away in a vacuum and that is no fun.


It’s the best.

Back to today.


What about faux shearling and the like?

It’s another trend I won’t spend big on but it is one to consider, especially as a prop for weekend and casual wear. Yes, the real thing is heavenly too and that is a matter for personal preference.


Shearling can be worn inside or outside on the coat, depending on how much you like the shaggy sheep look.

Yes, I like it. The winter white appeals to me worn with jeans or with the black standby, not to mention as a foil for khaki. Then there is the colourful shearling, which is totally fun on a bleak and rainy day in London. I can a see this would be a total mood lifter.



And about the pugs.

Our family has totally fallen in love with a little fellow called, Marloe. When I saw the Vuitton campaign featured here, I couldn’t resist; I had to show you. Ours is a black pug, with the sweetest personality ever. Actually he isn’t really mine, he belongs to my daughter, but that doesn’t change a thing. It’s true love.


Marloe would be delightfully happy to snuggle up with me, wearing the cosy. That is one very good reason for a new coat. ;) Don’t you think?
