It&#39;s Winter!

Well, kind of. It's not even nearly cold enough for me, but there you go.

I wrote a recap of the Winter 2012/2013 trends here so you can refer to it to inspire your style this winter.

I have been on my usual shopping rounds, and I've noticed a lack of good quality trench coats on the market - no lining whatsoever, made of such light fabric that does not provide any source of warmth whatsoever. I practically live in my trench coat, and I think everyone (man or woman!!) needs one in their wardrobes now.

If you have found a nice one here then good for you, otherwise I recommend heading over to ASOS (FREE SHIPPING TO MAURITIUS!!!):

One in classic brown should be enough.

The number one thing to know when wearing a trench coat:

NEVER EVER BUCKLE AND FASTEN THE BELT. Always either let the ends hand loose, or tie up the ends in a knot (not too tight!), with the buckle loose, or knot the ends behind your back.

Shoe shopping wise, last week I believe I saw ALDO had 40% off all boots, so you know where to go. There were a nice pair of flat biker boots that, with considerable usage, will look pretty cool (new biker boots look odd!)

For the best cover ups, head to In'Am. I know, most of you must be going "she only ever talks about that label!" but I would never recommend to you products that weren't of the highest quality, that you could wear time and time again. They also have Father's day special offers going on - and there are some pieces that can crossover to your wardrobe too, ladies.

There are also beautiful cable knit sweaters that are a must for winter!

Here's a Look Book of styles you can try. Have fun!

JAK & JIL

Always keep colour in mind when composing your look. The deep burgundy of the shirt matches the sky blue of her top, layered over - a look in Mauritius sufficient to warm you up.

The vivid mint of the cable knit is amazing, and paired with a printed silk neck scarf is awesome! A look to try for both guys and girls.

Play with lengths and sizes: This heavy, long jacket/coat is offset by the seemingly light, white chemise and slightly loose jeans.

Choose your prints wisely- make sure that you don't have prints competing against each other. Here, the print on the trousers is small compared to the knitted sweater/jacket.
