Get the look: Dot Cotton

My friends must have thought I was mental a couple of weeks ago when I took to Facebook to find out where Dot Cotton had bought her coat from.

The request was met with some cheeky comments and a couple of texts asking if I was okay! Yes I am okay... look at Dot's coat ... it's a belter!

Who'd have thought Dot Cotton was a style icon?  Maybe it was the camel tones or the massive faux fur collar - you KNOW I love my fur ... but it just screamed out to me as I was watching Easties one night and found myself lusting after auld Cottons wares.

Anyway, it's taken a bit of searching but I eventually found the ultimate looky likey coat and what a bonus, it's on sale too :)

Meet Biba's take on the Dot Cotton coat.

Originally priced at £290 it's now on sale at £173.  Maybe they will reduce it again, even at discount, I can't justify the spend just now.  So I will wait patiently. 

I've also taken a shine to Dot's blue eyeshadow and red nails.  I'm going to recreate the look with Estee Lauders Enchanted Garnet on my nails and Laura Mercier Luster Eye Colour in Celestial.  Clearly I will look smokin'! 

Do you have a closet style icon?

Go on, share you're secret style queens?

Who's with me? ...

Yup, you got it ... Tonight, 9pm, Channel 4, Big Fat Gypsy Weddings.  I'm all over this bad boy.

Last week it had me glued to the screen in awe of gypsy culture and specifically their dating rituals that involve 'Grabbing' (sexual assault, much?!) and their over the top weddings where the Bride gets to dress as the biggest loo roll holder ever!! Lucky girl.

My favourite part of last weeks episode was when this particular girl started lapdancing while waiting on her limo to the Church.  Yes, you heard me, lapdancing ... well she wasn't on anyones lap but she was obviously practising for later!?  ... aherm. 

Yes, that's right, that's a massive split up the front of her dress!

And my jaw dropped in horror at this wee girls Holy Communion when she and her mates got to ride in a limo sans chaperone having a proper rave up with fake champagne (why?), karaoke and booming music. Rezpect.

Her brother... not her Husband.  They do it young, but not that young.

I won't even mention the dress and tiara!!

We have another 4 episodes of this to go so every Tuesday at 9pm is blocked out in my diary until it's finished.

Best. TV. Ever.
