This was the first proper winter coat I ever owned as an adult.

Stereotypically, my mother bought it for me (how else does one know we are all children always?!).  Funnily enough when I was trying it on, I wasn’t all that keen. I can remember her talking me into it, and yet it has become my most worn coat and one of my most beloved pieces. I always remind myself this, your mother tends to know what you will want in a year, even if she doesn’t understand what you want right now. Much the better too.

I bought this beautiful hat on my trip to Copenhagen recently. It’s the most wonderful winter hat.
