Host no thrills






-9°C is cold. For England. As the snow turned to ice, Verdel swooped down in all its downy glory and saved my ears and digits from falling off. Cue hood and arm warmers. Made from the softest, warmest cashmere wool it was all I could do to stop stroking my hooded head (it's not just a blogger pose thing, I swear!). The structure of the hood is the kind that stands up by itself - a necessity for us oddly shaped headed folk. Furthermore, I'm convinced that the fingerless gloves that go right up to my armpit are fashion's way of finally permitting me to wear the short sleeved coats I've been buying and not wearing for fear of losing my arms to frostbite. Win.

Verdel make turbans, aviator style hats in the same luxurious cashmere and if you live in colder climates or you're a wimp in the cold, like me, I promise the arm warmers will improve your outdoor life elevenfold. Head on over.

Trousers: vintage
Boots: ebay
Hood: Verdel
Gloves: Verdel
Coat: ebay

  31. Sue: AGREED

    I like your shin/ankle exposure. Looking at these made me remember how happy snow makes me and I feel like crying because there is none here and now I'm reconsidering my life plan because I don't think I can live in London if it's never going to snow.

  32. PS those are THE most expensive gloves.
    but very lovely

    ReplyDelete

  37. I love those short sleeve coats too, but like you I don't know how to wear them without freezing. Wear can we get these fingerless gloves?

    ReplyDelete

  38. It's been getting chilly here in NY also. I just got the biggest, fluffiest infinity scarf you've ever seen and I've been sooo happy to be wearing it.
    My bf just shaved his head though and because of his lack of hair I let him borrow it. Now he won't give it back. :(
    I think I need to give him his own scarf for christmas.

  39. That coat is awesome and the pics always so professional and inspiring! <3

  40. Elevenfold huh? That's a lot. I believe you. The idea of short sleeved jackets with reallyyyy long arm warmers sounds like a fantastic idea. Put it into play please. And document it. Can't wait to see the photos xxx

  49. Beautiful, of course.
    But £485 for a hat/glove combo is rocking the budget boat somewhat.

  50. It's weird to imagine England being much, much colder than Detroit and Toronto, both of which get so much more snow in the winter than London... Very strange.

    But you seem to be coping as stylishly as ever. How do you handle having so much panache? Don't you ever make yourself sick with how amazing you look each day?

    :)
