Parka Love

I've been wanting the perfect winter jacket for so long now. Something cozy but stylish. It's taken me forever to decide on what style I want though. Something that is flattering on me, because big, heavy jackets can often make you look like a frumpy lump.. but something that also isn't too trendy that will be tacky in a year. And I've decided guys. I've decided. I want a parka.

I kinda bought one this winter, but it wasn't that great. And wasn't totally what I was looking for. Don't fret - it only cost me $30. I'm still hunting down my soul-mate jacket..but I may have found it in these beauties below.

I'M KIDDING GUYS. THAT'S NOT IT. I'M NO GINGER SPICE!!
Plus, that one doesn't have the totally necessary draw string so I can pretend I have an hourglass figure.
I'll probably have to buy the next one, though. Even though it's not exactly what I'm looking for...it's beautiful.

The next one is pretty perfect. Nice and warm, not too long, drawstring. The olive color is exactly what I'm looking for. I'LL TAKE IT!

And while we're at it, throw these on the bill too. I'm from Vancouver, it rains a lot. Necessity, folks.

And by "I'll take it", I mean "please send to me free of charge". Or gift me it. Same thing? What are your winter jacket faves at the moment?

Haha! You make me laugh. I love those parkas! I want one too! My coat is one of those long ones that is puffy and has fur around the hood, like I'm a freaking eskimo. Hahaha. I just hate being cold, and it's like I'm wearing a puffy blanket all of the time. So I'm happy!

the jacket from barbour is adorable. and the rain boots are super cute!

I am looking for a pea coat myself.
I run into a problem of long arms.

I might just keep the one I have. Its a little big but I paid $50 last b.f in stead of $150.

Unless I come across something this b.f :)

Good luck on your jacket find!

Last winter I got a jacket from LOLĂ‹, I absolutely love it. It keeps me warm and dry, even with all the Vancouver rain. There used to be a store in North Van that sold their products, but it closed; I have only ever found their products in Sport Check. Oh, and I love the pink boots.

Good luck on your search!
