Our New Mirror + a Beautiful Coat Recommendation
We recently splurged and purchased the beautiful @arhaus Amelie mirror and we. love. it. so. much! It’s definitely pricy, but it’s my birthday + Christmas gift for the rest of forever. Hahah. It is a timeless and classic piece that will be in our home forever.
It is so heavy and sturdy that I’m not at all worried about it falling over. It does come with hooks so that you can hinge it to the wall, if you have small children or pets. We don’t, so it’s just leaning up against the wall currently. I’ve also recently decorated it with this beautiful garland on the top to make it festive and…. 😍
Now, for the coat recommendation! I found this JCrew sherpa coat, and asked for it as an early birthday gift from my mother, and she purchased it on major sale for me. It is soooo beautiful and timeless, and very warm and sturdy. It is such a high quality coat with blue silk lining and I know I will be kept warm all winter in this. It is very long, I am wearing the Medium here (also just for size reference: I am 5’11”, and usually wear Mediums or Larges because of my height. It fits perfectly!).
I wanted the coat to be roomy enough so that I could wear bulkier sweaters with it and have enough room to bend my arms - do you know what I mean?! I needed to be able to raise my arms over my head and stretch them across my body without feeling like I was going to rip the coat. I hate when you buy a coat or sweater that feels constricting. I don’t think I am a broad shouldered person, but it seems like that’s always on my mind when buying winter clothing items: must be able to move arms without any inhibitions. LOL.
JCrew always has a ton of sales, so I really wouldn’t recommend you purchase this coat at full price… ever, unless you’re desperate to have it RIGHT AWAY. They have a great Black Friday + Cyber Monday sale going on right now and this coat qualifies for 50% off your purchase + extra 10% off with code “CYBER”. If you’re reading this post after the sale has expired, wait for a sale from JCrew! Currently most sizes in this color are sold out it appears, but I’m sure more will be coming back into stock sometime soon.
