When I attended the Motel Rocks bloggers evening a few weeks back we were all allowed to select one item from the AW11 range. I choose this gorgeous faux fur coat because it's the perfect for the cold weather as well as adding a bit of Hollywood glam to an outfit. I really like all the different textures in this outfit; leather, velvet and fur - to me that's what winter is about, mixing everything up. Thank you Motel for this gorgeous coat, I love it!

This weekend as been a busy affair. On Friday night it was my work's Christmas party. The theme of Viva Las Vegas and I wore my good old black velvet Topshop dress because my New Look order didn't turn up in time! Yesterday I went to the Degas and the Ballet exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts. Despite the price being a little over the top I loved the simple charcoal sketches and the way Degas caught the movement of the dancers. After that we wandered around Regents Street which was closed to traffic for the weekend (along with Oxford Street) before heading to The Diner on Carnaby Street for a late lunch. The food was delicious! I bought some film from Lomography and some macaroons from Laudree in Burlington Arcade which I am yet to eat. In the evening we headed east to Cafe El Paso to watch some pop punk bands. Today has been about catching up with telly with a spot of running to break up the laziness. A great weekend!
