The coming chill has got me thinking about the perfect coat in the warmest shade to usher in the new season. My mind immediately goes back to a perennial favourite - Audrey Hepburn's beautifully tailored piece from Breakfast at Tiffany's. I love the cut and the small details of this coat - very elegant and ladylike but the punchy colour prevents it from being boring or too predictable.

Unfortunately I don't possess the Willy Wonka-esque powers to reach into the screen and steal my perfect coat - so here are some alternatives.

At Kate Spade

and J. Crew

What better on a snowy winter morning than a hot cup of tea and toast... al fresco, more like al frostco! But I think I could stand a little morning chill to step into the delightful and charming world of Emersonmade...

She and her cute hubby are just the most adorable people - they make me want to run away and live in the country in a magical world of mice, ducks and winter tea parties. Perhaps in time I could even come to love the chickens...

Cheers to you, and Fridays, and magical winter mornings!
