Lisa Loves: Coats

Untitled #9

Udobuy Hood Warm Long Trench Coat (buy here) | Vince Wool Drape Hooded Coat (buy here) | Unbranded Military Green Leather Sleeve Jacket (buy here) | Topshop Short Hooded Swing Coat (buy here) | Bernard Lafond Warm Hooded Zipper Coat (buy here) | 


So now that autumn is here and certainly not long until winter will be here, I decided to take a wander around the web to see if I could find some lovely new coats for the season. Above you will find some coats that happened to catch my eye and I'm especially in love with the Bernard Lafond one, a perfect combination of denim and wool. My outwear closet is filled mostly with black so I desperately tried finding some outwear that would add some color to the closet. Although I am not able to buy any of these coats, it is sure fun to take a look. The coat I'll be keeping myself warm with this autumn and winter is my trusty old leather jacket and my black and white boyfriend coat. Right now I'm trying not to part with my leather jacket but as I realized today, it is getting colder faster and that jacket just won't do. As much as I love winter, I do feel that it is coming a wee bit too fast at the moment but won't complain, time to bring out the knitted scarves and the snow resilient boots! Also I can't forget to mention that Halloween is just around the corner and even though Halloween isn't celebrated at all where I live, it doesn't stop me from contemplating costume ideas and carving pumpkins. Hope October has been a pleasant and not too cold month for all of you. And hopefully when the weather does change and bring cold, you have got a stylish and warm coat to go along with it!

Rainy Days



So these couple of days have been filled with autumn rain, wind and cold. Which means time to bring out the gloves, scarves and knitted hats! Which is definitely a reason to celebrate, at least for me, seeing as I absolutely adore autumn and winter. The unpacking is finally finished, the clothes are finally up which gives me time to focus on my next phase in life. I am in the process of applying to courses in Sweden and undergrad courses in England as well as trying to get my drivers license. So between sipping copious amounts of tea and trying to get my life in order, I'm desperately trying to get my blog up and running with continuous posts. So expect more of me! Also I'd like to introduce mon chat to my blog, Seth. Named after Seth from The OC - my sisters doing. Or Seffwa as I like to call him.

Autumn


I've become really in the mood for autumn. Autumn means change in weather, style and even food. That's why I've decided to dedicate this post to the lovely ideas that have popped up on my screen regarding Autumn refreshments.



1. The Hot Chocolate. An all time favorite and a definite classic. The instructions are (courtesy of dessert heaven): 1 cup milk. 2 spoons nutella. Saucepan. Heat medium. Blend. Whisk frothy. Add marshmallows. And you've got yourself a pretty delicious beverage. 
















2. The Autumn Sangria. We all know of the classic sangria which is normally sipped in Summer. Well I stumbled across a new sangria which would still be sure to quench our thirst. Ingredients & directions found here. I love the idea of mixing sugar and cinnamon together and applying it to the rim of the glass. It definitely adds flavor and looks lovely!







3. The Autumn Spiced Coffee. This is something I don't only do during Autumn, it is a simple and delicious idea to make your coffee a pinch more flavorful. All that needs to be done, is to simply add cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger in the filter of your coffee brewer along with your preferred coffee flavor. It will have the house and coffee smelling wonderful.
