This is one that lives in my son’s room and contains my party wear, the clothes covered in sequins, sparkle and glitter. Because, if you can’t sparkle at this time of year, I’m really not sure when you can.

    The Coat Edit

    For sun worshipers, it is the time of year that we truly dread, the real coming of Autumn with the promise of Winter on the way.
