Etro-vert… x
I was at the Country Home and Living Fair last week where I fell in love with a stand selling loose, square pocketed coats made of that incredible paisley silk/wool blanket material – like the shawls you see in all the Jane Austen films that just sing warmth and wealth. The feelings of desire caught me by surprise so I resisted (particularly as I have a coat fetish) but there was something about their bohemian utilitarian ease that majorly pulled at my heart strings.
Etro cultivates that same vibe, where the smell of old Europe meets the heat of the exotic.
Not for the faint hearted there’s statement in their presence.
But the power of expression is a freedom and joy that should be shouted from the roof-tops..and anywhere else..

LOVE the third one. Want it!
Not only the colours – but isn’t that shape on the arms divine?! xxx
Absolutely love Etro ! great choice
There’s a wonderful trade-off between elegance and colour…wish I had some in my wardrobe! xxx
After a grey, wet winter the more colour the better! These lovely patterns brighten any day – score one for colour.
And wouldn’t they be so easy to pair with classics like jeans or white trousers..or black trousers! We need more colour! xxx
Always a sucker for paisley! Love Etro xx
An absolute sucker for Paisley..stand for something very special.. xxx
“But the power of expression is a freedom and joy that should be shouted from the roof-tops..and anywhere else.” Hear us ROAR!!! 🙂 Love xxx

Beautiful! Love these!
I think the last picture is possibly my favourite.. xxx
These are all pretty beautiful!! I love the jacket at the end. I could see myself in that with my jeans! X d
Ditto!! But you know you would have these in your wardrobe for years to come and never get tired of them..we all need a bit of that.. xxx
Etro’s terrific patterns turn anyone into an adventurous fashionista ! xxxxx
Sigh..we definitely need more of this in our lives! xxx
I love Etro. I know some people who think it’s “irrelevant”. I say THEY”RE irrelevant! I’d wear it by the truckload. Luxury, fantasy and tradition all woven into a beautiful cashmere paisley. Oooh…
It’s true – they do what they do..but it’ll always have a piece of my heart! xxx
aren’t they just glorious!
They will always speak to my hippy soul! xxx
I love these bold prints- I would wear those jackets with some super dark skinny jeans and white tee-shirt to class up a casual outfit! Gorgeous!
I know any investment would live on..not only do they work with so many wardrobe staples but I’d happily pass them on to Bella..a true sign of class!! xxx
The third one is sooooo beautiful!
Some how they get the mix of stand out and classic to perfection.. xxx
So true! xxx
Absolute Gorgeous!!!!
Aren’t the colours spectacular? xxx
