Impulse Buy & Coats

In my last post I told you about the beauty of Christmas sales, comment below and let me know any bargains you managed to hunt down! There's nothing better than finding a good bargain, as I found when I snapped up my new jacket. This was a total impulse buy as a couple of weeks ago I splurged on a rather pricey (although discounted hugely)but worth it Land's end, puffy winter jacket : as seen here;

I paid £84.95 it was reduced from £110 so still quite a good deal , you'll probably find out i'm so stingey when it comes to my money, anything over 20 quid makes me wince! It was the best investment ever, it's the warmest coat, and considering I'm living in Aberdeen it will come into a lot of use!

Excuse my bare face and my brother and sister (you'll probably see them a lot in my blog I love them to pieces, meet Joseph & Lucinda. ) However, when trawling the internet boutiques for some bargains, I came across the cutest Jacket/Coat from MaxC London. It was half price to £20 and I couldn't resist. I persuaded myself, since my Land's End puffy jacket is far too hot for shopping centres etc, that it would come into good use for night's out, parties and city day trips. I paid £3.95 standard postage... and since it was five days before christmas when i ordered it, I was expecting it to turn up after the holidays, I was very impressed when it turned up 2 days after ordering.

It's the Esmee Jacket, and I'm really impressed with the way it fits. I ordered a UK12, (I'm normally 10-12, but go for a 12 when I think it may be restricted across the bust, also it's Christmas time and I wanted it to be forgiving, ha ha!) They have some really unusual jackets, some remind me of the 60's era and are all so reasonably priced. Check out the Max C website, http://www.maxclondon.com/ they have loads of unique pieces, very cute and different to other website where you see hundred different versions of a bodycon. Maddy xoxo
