Now it's cold enough to finally wear faux fur we are over the moon at TSOP! Every year I seem to collect crazier and brighter printed fur coats and this one is my new favourite! Mee Mee always has amazing product online and this coat instantly jumped out at me! I think it's the perfect fur to wear over your glitzy party dresses for the christmas season and look uber glam or even just with a t-shirt and jeans to make a statement.

I styled it up in a monochrome way (for once!) I wanted to let the coat do the talking so worked around the monochrome striped fur, the black sequin skirt added a bit of glitz but teamed with a white roll neck jumper for a casual edge. Statement accessories with my Beyond Retro belt and Sunita Mukhi eye clutch with is oh so sparkly! I'm not really a heel girl so always opt for a heeled black tough boot, these pony ones from Urban are just a dream!

The mix of smart and casual pieces in this look balance out well making it suitable for lot's of occasions! We are totally obsessed with faux fur, are you guys?!

As if our luck would have it, the second Style Essential we have been asked to style for the Dorothy Perkins AW14 campaign is The Fur. Where I see the shirt as a firm staple, the fur is definitely a statement that you need for the colder months. Whether it's stoles, cuffs or a full blown technicolour coat, there is something that just oozes glamour when it comes to fur (faux though, please)

The fur coat has been one of those pieces that I've always dreamt of having, but have never managed to find the right one at the right time so I cannot thank DP enough for finally uniting me with a piece I have had in my mind and on my wishlist for a good few years. The mink colour is the perfect alternative to your usual cream (for all the coffee spillers out there, like me) the fur is delicately soft and the length of the coat is precisely perfect - all in all, dream coat right here.

Now I'm in possession of this coat, it is killing me that the weather has done yet another dramatic U-turn and it's far too hot to wear! Only in England could you get away with an outfit containing a fur coat and shorts. I chose to wear the coat draped over a shorts suit for this particular post though as I wanted to show you how to add that touch of glam into what would be an 'every day/work wear' ensemble. We all know we can chuck a fur coat over a sexy frock and look wonderful, but why can't be look wonderful on the tube at 8am on a Monday morning too? With this coat being under £70, the answer is, we all can ;)
