We Could Be In Russia

Maybe that's a slight exaggeration, I don't think there's nearly enough snow for this to be Russia!  But the hat certainly gives me the urge to start dancing to Boney M's 'Rasputin'.

We Could Be In Russia

It's the same coat that you saw last Sunday, but with different gloves, boots, scarf and the addition of the fabulous faux fur hat.  That coat has been a winter winner, it's wool, so nice and cosy, and I love how the length covers my full skirts.  A bargain for £8 from a local charity shop.

Scarf: Joy the store, sale bin bargain.
Coat: Vintage, via charity shop.
Hat: Can't remember, possibly H&M about a decade ago!
Boots: Cara.
Gloves: TU at Sainsbury's.


We Could Be In Russia

We are having so much fun driving around our scenic area to take photos, we're seeing sights that we wouldn't normally get to see.  Tourism via blogging!  It does feel a bit ridiculous sometimes, with the drivers of passing cars wondering what you're doing, and my family and friends are always quick to gently jibe me about my latest blog photos, with comments like "have you lost something in the near distance?" and "can you see Siberia?".  One of my sisters hates this hat, so I will make sure I post a few pictures on her Facebook page.

Anyway, if you haven't heard the disco-classic Rasputin, you can enjoy that now - I warn you that it's an infectious melody and you'll be singing it for days.

    I've said it before and am sure to say it again, I am very jealous of your surroundings! You can always rely on family to burst the bubble can't you?

    Your surroundings are stunning. Where is this? I have one of those hats from a few years ago. My little boy tends to steal it now and dress up in it! You look great and it suits. Oh how the coat looks different when the fur isn't on it. I love the lace up boots. Thank you for linking up to #StreetStyleSunday

    Love this look! And I love the headline too - I adore a bit of faux fur and also own a large furry hat. It is the perfect thing to keep my bonce warm in this chilly weather and every time I wear it, I imagine I'm in Moscow, about to meet some mysterious man for a vodka or two ;-) Gorgeous post - thrilled to have found your blog via #streetstylesunday

      It sounds like your imagination can rival my own! I do like a bit of make-believe depending on what I'm wearing. Thanks for visiting x

    I love driving round finding great photo locations too - particularly if said trips end in tea and cake in the nearest cafe ;) my backdrops are never as gorgeous as yours though! Love the dramatic scenery with the dramatic hat. I think I'm too little to wear a hat like that - it would probably wear me. But you look great! xx

    Your hat, coat and tights are out of this world, Porcelina. Polished and retro-chic as usual.

    Bold, fresh, absolutely marvelous photos. You look fantastic! I've never shot in the middle of a road before, but now suddenly want to - and all the more when there's snow still on the ground. The gears are turning! :)

      Thank you Jessica - it wasn't my idea to stand in the middle of the road, it was my arty husband-to-be. Even though we were very isolated, I still kept one eye out for cars, so there's lots of photos of me with odd expressions as I kept thinking I was hearing cars! But I do like the perspective it gives and would definitely try it again. x

      I think the flare shots are my photographer's trade mark, he tries to do one in every shoot!! Glad you like the hat, I thought you'd appreciate it given your own fabulous choice of headwear in your last post x

    I am truly beginning to covet your boot collection! I think this is the third pair I've seen you wear that I've fallen in love with. Love the hat too. You can never beat a bit of faux fur in the winter.

    I am LOVING these photos. The background is truly gorgeous (that second to last one especially), and I really enjoy the whole Siberian Chic theme. The coat was a great find, I like how you get just a hint of the skirt peeking out underneath.
    It looks like you're adapting well to your new camera. That photo of you with the sun behind you is fabulous.

    Aaaah you had snow! *Envies* A day like that is a great reason to wear a furry hat. If you need any reason at all, of course!
