Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

{Fashion Monday} Leopard Fur coat ~ Review

Fur coatWinter has been here for a while now and being someone who was born in a warm climate I do not take it lightly. I remember when we first moved to the UK I was wearing some skimpy clothes when I touched down in London Heathrow and the British winter blew and good Jesus I cried there and then and run to the toilets with my sister where we discovered the hand dryer, that become the place we sat under until mum came and brought us warm clothes. Ever since that day I do not take no chances with my warmth, I dress more warmly than anyone I can even beat the eskimos.

I was sent this Leopard fur coat by the lovely people at Same Apparel and I can not tell you how much I love it. I worn it immediately when it arrived (modelled as you do) and since I knew I had to make a long trip the following day I felt it was the perfect opportunity to test it out and see if it is as warm as it felt inside the house. Same Apparel is a bargain fashion clothes retailer aimed at getting the customer the best quality fashion for the lowest cost. For over 5 years they have successfully sold women’s clothes on eBay, Amazon, Etsy and now Wish.

Review

I will start by saying I have one issue with this coat, it has no zipper or buttons to close it up, which is fine since I usually have big and wide scarfs .

The first thing I noticed about the coat is how soft the fur is, so far I have not experienced any shedding which is a good thing as I hate shading clothes. I like that it’s wide enough for me to put cardigans inside and I love how long it is. The arm length could be longer but for me I think it’s perfect. The leopard print is just perfect since this weather makes me go all black, grey or all blue so works out just fine. I love that the coat is not all fur inside and out, the inside is lined with silk in brown to match the brown in the coat. This coat has a hoodie which is a bonus since at present I am umbrella-less and the rainy UK is unforgiving. The coat is warm but for a coldling like me I need to put in a small cardigan inside just to make sure I don’t start to feel the cold. It’s a beautiful looking jacket and if you in a market for one I highly recommend checking out. The price is £21, you can purchase on Wish and I think this is so reasonable because I have seen some similar coats in New look and H&M which were a lot more expensive though I did not like the feel of it. Wish has a lot of products which are really affordable and I am heading back there to be up a few more items. They ship for free to 38 countries including the UK, they have a 30 day return policy if you’re not happy with the product.

So if you’re in the market for a new fur coat at reasonable price with free shipping then head over to Same Apparel and Wish to check them out.

    The leopard fur coat would definitely keep you warm during winter. It would have been better if it had buttons and zippers so you’ll have more options when wearing it.

    I’m also from a very warm climate, Phoenix, and rarely deal with temps below 40 degrees, so I for sure, would have something like this if i ever venture out of Arizona for the winter 🙂

    I wish I could wear something like this but I’d be so afraid of standing out too much – isn’t that silly? £21 is a fab price for the coat. I wouldn’t mind the lack of a zipper or buttons because I usually just leave my coat open anyway 🙂

      hahahaha I did not even think about how much i would stand out but i love it zipper/button less and all lol

    What a cute coat! Personally, without a zipper or buttons it just wouldn’t be for me. We are experiencing super cold temps right now and I like to stay bundled up!

    • Mia Myrabev says

      January 14, 2015 at 7:24 am

      It’s because of the extremes of weather we experiencing hence my concern too otherwise its fine.

  19. Samantha Angell says

    January 12, 2015 at 10:56 am

    That is a really good price point for the coat! Like you mentioned, I would probably want a zipper or buttons, at least to have as an option on those super-cold days.

      It’s really a good price and yes just needed to have the option
