If I were to win the lottery tonight, this is what I’d be buying, every last bit. I spend way too much time making these fantasy wishlists, just incase I happen to become filthy rich overnight, but I also use them as a sort of marker when it comes to sale shopping. If something is on one of my seasonal lists & gets reduced massively, even if it’s still a bit of a splurge, I’ll allow myself to buy it. My reasoning is that I loved it enough to put it on the list, so I’m clearly not just buying it because I’m being suckered in by the 80% off tag, even though I know it’s something I’ll never actually wear!

Talking of sales, I’m getting obsessed with the ‘Style Steals‘ section on Matches, a permanent section of the site with pieces at upto 80% off. The Sportmax sweater is top of my list at the moment, I love the oily, beetle- like iridescence & the fact it’s half price makes it hard to pass up. The Lanvin skirt is the maxi of my dreams, but it’s still massively out of my price range despite the huge savings, I’m inspired to try & make a DIY version though, so keep an eye out for that!

I’m not usually a coat person, I prefer to stick to my trusty jackets & lots of layers, but this Smythe one is seriously tempting me & it’s not even black! It’s just so beautifully cut, the pointed hemline & sharp collar are perfect touches & I love the slight military vibe.

I’ve always said that if I had a nice chunk of money to splurge on something I’d by a Rick Owens leather jacket, but now I’m not so sure after seeing this Givenchy jacket! A traditional biker, but with a snug fit, super nipped in waist, buttery leather & calf hair sleeves, it’s total perfection!

What are you guys coveting this Winter?

    If I were rich, believe me, I would also buy lots of these things, and also a Rick Owens jacket… I’d die for it. The coat is awesome and special, I’m sure it’d suit you a lot. It’s actually a great selection of items I’m sure you’d use a lot.

    Lots of kisses.

    I’m glad to see I am not the only one making these ’emergency’ wishlists (what I call them!) in case I win some obnoxiously large amount of money in the lottery too. Very important stuff! LOL! I shall be stealing a few pieces from your wishlist my love! Hope you don’t mind but I do believe that Smythe coat belongs in what would be my new walk in closet!

    :o)

    I pretty desperately need a new coat or jacket. One that isn’t too poofy, like the ones that I have now that work for the harsh cold. I’m tired of looking like a marshmallow. XD
    I’m loving your picks, by the way. Especially that black leather jacket ( the zip is so cool! ) and those booties. So cute. I’m actually also coveting a nice pair of boots. ^^

    The Sportmax iridescent jumper… absolutely in love! I love the ponyhair clutch too, although I think I’d just end up stroking it rather than using it! ;) as usual for winter I am definitely wanting approximately 47238482 new jumpers and some lovely new boots… there’s just no room for them though, time for a clear out! x

    fashion daydreaming is one of my favourite hobbies and my wish-lists can be never-ending…I really like Matches because they have such a cool selection of designers! I think my wish-list would be full of chic French labels like Carven, Celine, Balenciaga, etc. etc.
