On finding the perfect winter coat

On finding the perfect winter coat

image source – Andreea Diaconu in Isabel Marant Etoile, photographed by Karim Sadli Winter. Always the perfect excuse for a new coat (not that you needed one, of course). As if the shorter days and glistening layer of frost covering the grass every morning weren’t enough of a cue, it helps that the winter chill is really starting to bite, so much so that I’ve finally succumbed to the daily ritual of throwing on a coat (or a jacket at least!) before leaving the house.
