The second the first overcast day settled on London this autumn, I've been itching to pull out the trench coat. An absolute seasonal staple, I find myself throwing one onto just about any outfit and loving the result. This particular structured longline piece is from Zara, but I've listed four of my high street favourites below.
Love Is a Trench Coat

Playing With New Makeup
Ordering for Realisation Parr usually involves a little bit of blind faith when it comes to sizing, but after visiting their pop up in Harrods (on until October) and trying on The Allegra, which I'd toyed with the idea of getting for the longest time, I was sold.
She's an unbelievably flattering fishtail maxi that finally lets me play out my How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days yellow dress fantasy. It's one of the more overlooked colour in my wardrobe, but one that I'm now all ears for. Here are eight of my picks for the best yellow dresses.

Dropping in to say a quick hello and welcome to ICT 5.0. I've been blogging on this space for nearly nine years now which is a little unbelievable. I've seen blogs come and go and I've watched my interest and commitment to posting here waver with them. With the instantaneous platform of Instagram on offer, where in one click you can share your thoughts and photos with the world in digestible pieces alongside a curated feed of your favourite accounts, the detachment of a separate blog has become harder to manage.
It's turned this blog into a space where I feel the need to take more time, have a theme and goal in mind when posting. I want to make something significant for you here that establishes itself from the other social media I share on. Realistically though that's not been the case, and I've been asking myself this week, why this blog can't be just as fast paced and easy to run as the rest of these platforms?
So, from this point I Covet Thee will become a hub of all my online goings on, where you'll be able to find my latest video, what I'm wearing today, what's on my mind and all of the above. See you here!

| Love or hate the buzz around Black Friday, there's no denying that it's the perfect opportunity to save a little, or in some cases a lot on those items you've had in the back of your mind for some time. Every year most retailers do some incredible discounts that really are worth waiting for, and it's around this time that I usually invest in something I've been saving up for - because who can say no to a little money off! |
What's On My Farfetch Black Friday Wishlist

At the beginning of the year I purchased an old Olympus Muji camera from eBay after being totally inspired by 35mm's revival, and if we're being honest by some of my biggest style crushes Lizzie and Lindsay - by far the coolest girls I follow on Instagram, am I right? I've had this roll of film waiting to be developed for weeks and haven't gotten round to doing anything with it until now. It took me nearly as long to fill up an entire roll after having a pretty quiet few months, but I love the photos that came out and how they give a little snapshot of my March and April.
March + April On Film

| Favourites are something I love sharing with you all, I spend a lot of time talking about things I've just bought, or products I'm trying out. But when I know something deserves to be in a video with the best of the bunch it's worth chatting about! |

Six months ago I didn't think I'd ever be able to write those words. The world stopped and my life froze. I couldn't see a past, or a future, just a sea of nothing stretching out before me. But here we are now, in January. I get up and get dressed. I go out to buy coffee. I walk my dog and go to work. Normal things that normal people do that not so long ago felt impossible. |
Hello, 2018

Love it or hate it, it's that time of the year again where the boxing day sales come back with bang. I really can't think of anything worse than braving the mad rush of the sales in person - let's just take a moment of silence for those working in retail today. But why venture out when you can shop safely from the comfort of your own snack stocked living room, with no need to change out of those festive pyjamas you've been refusing to take off since yesterday.. |
