A new addition to the Luella family
>> 24.11.09
I have mentioned it earlier on Twitter and since I was asked to show it, there it is. The Luella jacket. It is pretty much the perfect English countryside jacket, a bit like a Jack Wills one, but better. I needed something that would go with bits of my wardrobe that don't call for a leather jacket or a yellow coat. This is the perfect everyday jacket.
It is totally over the top preppy/posh/traditional but I love it. Probably because the codes are different in France, so for me this is actually "exotic" and "fun" rather than "something my granny wore to go horse riding". Actually, I would probably also wear something my granny wore horse riding, but this has nothing to do with the jacket, and more to do with my questionable dress sense.
Please ignore the blurb above, it is clearly filler. Instead, have a look at my new baby.

Perfectly fab! I mean it!
With that little vintage brooch, the jacket's just the ticket.
That jacket is amazing. Just the right side of horsey! Lx.
Love those boots! Shame they're sold out in a size 5 on the website. And the coat is lush, obv.
I'd like a scarf? Please? xxx
Très classe ta nouvelle veste (j'adore la broche aussi).

I'd love to have one of those scarves... I follow on twitter, facebook and the blog.
Lovely jacket and giveaway! I too would love a scarf :)
your new jacket is fabulous!!!
i desperately want one of those scarves! i follow you every way that i can (google reader, twitter...but i don't have facebook!!)
I would love a scarf, s'il vous plaît! (Extra bonus points for speaking in French?? :P)
I already follow you on Twitter, and am a Facebook fan (and even uploaded two fan photos, that's got to count for something, right? Hehe)
Love your outfit by the way, but then again I love anything Luella! And big bows! And brooches!
The photo of you pointing to your cute bow is CUTE. :D

Oh would you and your wardrobe marry me please??
What a gorgeous jacket!
Beautiful jacket! Not to mention you pull off these big bows better than anyone I know.
ps~ Giles scarf...sign me up!
Oh I would like to enter, I follow on twitter, reader and fb. :)
C'est drôle je viens de m'acheter une veste exactement dans le même esprit, que mon binome a qualifiée de "veste pour mamie". Mais je l'adore.
Well I already do all those Twitter and Facebook things, but I'd quite like a scarf anyway!
I'd also like your jacket, but seeing as you like it too I guess you're not giving that away?
Oh I just am in love with your jacket. Off to look at it on Luella's.
Oh and I know the scarves you mean, I was at the front of the queue in that crazy shop, it just counted me all the way and stopped at 2, and then then nothing, just froze.
I like your giveaway, nice and simple.
I stalk you all over the net,here twittering, Fb and all
I love the coat! I always wanted to own some Luella 'when I grow up' (i.e. get a proper job and stop being a student), but now I'm not sure I'll get to. Sob.
J'adore la jacket et le noeud dans tes cheveux roux te va à ravir. Good choice !
Hooray for you supporting Luella! Even with the recent discounts, I still can't afford anything from her :(
But wooo, enter me for the giveaway! :)
The jacket is perfect....I would snap one up in a second (but then I love mixing slightly over-the-top horsey-preppy with my every day things:)
I follow on all of the above.
xoxo...LOVE the Star Wars tee too...
i like the jacket, especially combined with this t-shirt!
To those of you who asked about the jacket, I bought it on eBay as it is from an old collection. I remember seeing it in the shop a few seasons back but not buying it for budget reasons!
There are some really good tweed jackets that aren't Luella that you could easily diy into something a bit less horsey and a bit more fun (like this one). Changing the buttons would probs be enough on any tweed jacket, and if you feel brave, adding some detailing to the collar!
Please show me your work if you do!

Oh it's perfect! I like it very much. =]

That jacket is gorgeous, and I am definitely coveting that Giles Scarf at the moment.
Adorable!
I adore adore your jacket so much!! And the big black buttons at the end of the sleeves are adorable:)
Lucky girl you scored yours on ebay. Ohhhhh I love your star wars tee toooo.
I do hope I can get the scarf! Exciting:) heeee Ohhh been following you on twitter already<3
Is that Jacket tweed :)
i think im obsessed with tweed at the moments
its especially good because i live in the countryside
except i wouldn't ever go near a horse
the Giles scarfs would go with it aswell :)
Jackets are so fab! But unfortunately, they don't look good on me :|
I'm kinda in love with your star wars shirt. I usually don't wear a lot of regular tees but I seem to be buying a lot of sci-fi and superhero ones lately (Star Trek and Iron Man).
@kohsamui14
do you still have a 'scarf' left over? Just saw your post on fb and I am following you on twitter.
Please say you do.. my sis would love it. She is in Australia and I think I could afford the postage!!!!
might throw in a chocolate wrapper too!
