The swingy raincoat is by Handsom. My second piece of outerwear from this Australian label that I've professed my deep love for before here. I'm looking forward to filling my wardrobe with more of their I-know-I'll-wear-forever things.
The bag is a reissue of the 1974 Coach Classic Shoulder Purse. You don't know how much time I've spent on Ebay searching for (and watching!) one of the originals! I would have happily bought the reissues if they were available in Australia but we only get the really ugly, heavily-monogrammed and unnecessary hardware-laden styles here. I have my good pal and new "personal shopper" Meeps to thank for carrying this quiet and understated little beauty back from New York for me. She bought herself one in lime (I would eventually get one too because green is another favourite colour!) so we are now handbag-twins! Tee hee hee.
I haven't added to my Melissa shoe collection in a long long time and I've sold quite a few pairs during my recent wardrobe cull (still an ongoing process with a few more pairs to list on Ebay) so these super-matte navy blue Humans were a treat. So cute with navy stripey socks! Or without!
It's a little old-fashioned but it's nice sometimes to wear matching bag and shoes, don't you think? And a coat too. Haha. Go, go, Power Rangers!

I was required to wear navy (at work) for the longest time so when the dress code opened up I said "never again"! However, I still find myself drawn to the color; it's so comforting and regal. LOVE the shoes!
Hey Jinny-jin!
When I heard of the recent big storm in VA, I thought of you! Hope you and your family weren't in the "bad" zone!
"Regal"! I've never thought to describe the colour that way but yes! You are so right!
If you can't find the shoes where you are, Melissa Australia ships worldwide. xx
Hi there!
I absolutely love that Handsom jacket and was wondering where I could get one? and also where and when you got yours its just amazing!!
Thanks.ps love the blog
Hello Priyanka!
The Handsom raincoat was from their Autumn/Winter range last year.
You can find Handsom here -> handsom.com.au but I think the coats are long gone.
They sold out pretty quickly. Sorry :(
I hesitated placing an order when I received the "New Stock" email notification and when I went back to it a few hours later, those in my size were gone!
I bought one size up because I figured the cut of the coat is meant to be loose and swingy anyway and it turned out fine but that was the last piece.
So, I guess your best bet would be Ebay?
And put yourself on the Handsom mailing list!
Thank you for reading! Hope to see you around here again! xx
