White in winter.. Yay or Nay?

I do love colours white and beige I think they always look very elegant! However I do not agree with people who divide colours for every season, as they say ” You can not wear white in winter” … Erm no you can wear anything you want, whenever you want… And so I did 😄 I was always looking for a perfect white coat with a good price tag and couldn’t find one in months, in fact I got my inspiration from watching ” Maid in Manhattan”, where Jennifer Lopes walks in the park in a white coat and white turtleneck. So yes I always wanted to come up with something similar. When I think of winter coats/ autumn coats Reiss always pops into my mind. They really do know how to make good quality, good price products but also their clothes fit well. I wouldn’t say they go by the latest fashion they just very neutral they sell things that are classic, things that every woman needs each season, such as a good coat, good pair of trousers, good suit for work and a jumper. I would never go to Reiss for a latest trend but if I need something casual for an everyday wear then that is the place! Whilst their prices for the coats and suits are affordable around £300, however prices for the jumpers and turtlenecks can be above normal around £90-120. Which to me seems not ok so I decided to search elsewhere. I always knew that Uniqlo also always has good turtlenecks and good winter jumpers, they specialise in it. Without a doubt that’s the place I went to get my turtleneck, which I got for £10 and the quality is very good as well. Happy days! 😄 Finally I put an outfit together, which I liked and went to take pictures of course!

Back to the subject of colour white in winter. In fact few people have said to me why would you wear white when it’s winter? Well why not? I guess in countries where it snows heavily it would be inappropriate to wear all white because you would just mix in with the snow on the ground, but where as we are in London and it does not snow, it is perfectly fine to wear white. Hey I see some people wearing sandals in winter but again whatever makes them comfortable ☺️

House of CB

I have discovered this brand, which is taking England by storm " House of CB", it is popular 
with a lot of celebrities. When I looked at their website it just looked like its a replica of Herve Leger , which I still think it does but they just change few details of the dress. I decided to order one to try, I didn't even realise it was coming from China and I really do not like when something arrives from there because I had few problems before with sizes, wrong colours etc and most importantly it is a big trouble sending it back. So when it arrived I was pleasantly surprised by the wrapping presentation I think it was absolutely amazing! The box is pink with their logo and everything wrapped neatly. I took the dress out and was amazed by the quality it really is good considering the dress costs only about £100. Overall, I am very pleased with  the dress and cant wait to order more!
