Zara Parka

 
Hey everyone!
 
I am finally taking a day off of uni today to get a couple of blog posts on the go. Any of you who are currently or have previously been in 4th year of uni, then you will understand the workload we have at the moment and we all apologise for the lack of posts.
 
Anyway, back top the topic of this post. I have a new winter coat! It has taken me a while but I finally found the one I was looking for. I found this extremely cosy and gorgeous parka in Zara. It was £100 but definitely worth it as it will do me all winter and here in Glasgow it gets really cold. Some of the We do Fashion UK girls (Michelle, Mhairi and Dodi) are also going to Milan with the uni in January so this will be great for there.
 
I love the leather panels on the shoulders and sleeves and I think that the inside of it is so pretty with the peach coloured ribbons and the faux fur. I think I will be very happy this winter!
 
They also have this parka in navy which just came intop stores yesterday which is also gorgeous.
 
 





 
I really love the length of this as it means that I can wear lots of layers which is great for this time of year.
 
Shirt - H&M
Jeans - New look
Cardigan - H&M (this season - £29.99)
Jacket - Zara
Boots - New Look
 
Thanks for reading!

Travel Diary: Amsterdam Part 2

Hey, here is the other half of my Amsterdam travel diary. If you didn't see the first part here is the Link.
 
 

Day 3

On day 3 we went to the Heineken Experience which is a tour of the old Heineken Brewery. I didn't think I would enjoy this as I am not a big fan of drinking beer but it was amazing and the brewery was surprisingly nice.
 
 
I loved these stained glass windows, so pretty. In the bottom picture I am very proud of myself for drinking a glass of Heineken.
 
On our way back we stopped of at a market. This market was great if you needed to buy material and sewing accessories such as buttons, ribbon and lace.
 
 

Day 4

On day 4 we took a canal cruise to see the city from a different view which was really nice. I loved the river homes which were often decorated in lots of colourful flowers.
 

 
We also took a walk through Vondel Park which is absolutely massive with lots of ponds, cafes and cyclists.
 
 
One of the main things I love about Amsterdam is that everyone cycles everywhere.
How cute are clogs, I don't think they would be very comfy but they are very colourful and nicely decorated.
 

 
 
The best time to be out in Amsterdam is at night. The canal bridges are lit up and there is always a fantastic atmosphere.
 


 
That's the end of my Amsterdam travel diary. I would definitely recommend this city to anyone it was without a doubt the best city break I have been on.
