Emerging Fervour

You might remember Tracey’s review of her Isabella Oliver reversible coat last year which was a staple in her wardrobe this winter and oh so needed! I’ve stumbled across Isabella Oliver quite some time ago and although known for their maternity wear, their 365 collection is a hidden gem!

Lovely fabrics, cuts and versatile garments make these investment pieces. So you can imagine how excited I was when I got to choose a piece from their current spring/summer 10 collection and with a maxi dress craze going on as well as the sun being out, I went for the ‘Rebecca Maxi Dress’.

Actually it wasn’t really my decision but Tracey’s as she convinced me to go with something different. I wouldn’t have chosen this shape or colour, I never thought I’d own something tangerine! But I’m glad I did and putting on the dress, I instantly felt amazing. The jersey material clings at the right places and feels unbelievably comfortable, I want to sleep in it!! It’s definitely going to come out many times as with most maxis you can dress them up or down, it’s the perfect piece for money conscious people (I know, I know… it doesn’t really count as a justification).

So for me all that is left is to wait for a tan and if you like the thought of a maxi dress, check out these lovely jersey dresses I’ve come across:

Christmas came early in my chilly little flat when the lovely team at Isabella Oliver heard my cry for winter coat.

Isabella Oliver - The Reversible Essential £229

Having decided that this winter I was actually going to find a real coat rather than my usual jacket nonsense, I scoured about a billion different sites for a coat that would fit my wish list:

- fit over my enormous knits without causing that fabric bunching that makes me so stroppy
- reach my knees to keep my bum warm
- pockets (real ones that work)
- work day to night

This beautiful parcel turned up at my door the day the snow flurries started and I fell in love instantly.

Isabella Oliver has the answer I was looking for: a reversible coat with optional belt – AMAZING!!

I’ve known Isabella Oliver as a Maternity Outlet Store and was surprised how lovely their non maternity wear is!! It looks funky yet cosy, what a treat.
