I'm a huge advocate of picking up pieces from the high street as soon as you clock them and I certainly put this down to my days working in fashion retail - nobody wants to fall in fashion lust only to find out your new love interest has well and truly upped sticks and left the shop. I picked up this leopard print coat in H&M back when Craig and I made a trip to York, at the time it was high Summer but now things are getting a little bit cooler I'm feeling pretty darn pleased.

 Leopard print has always been a wardrobe staple of mine, in my eyes it's practically a neutral and up there with skinny jeans and a leather jacket. Just a touch of leopard in your life can add that nonchalant, cool girl vibe to an outfit and I for one dig that look. I love how H&Ms take on leopard print is a little more grown up than your typical faux fur leopard coat (not that I don't own one of those too) and I find the double breasted style brings that added smartness to an otherwise playful jacket. At £34.99 it's an absolute steal in the coat realm and definitely a great addition to my outerwear collection. Oh Autumn Winter, how I've missed your layering ways.

 Would you ever buy a leopard print coat? How would you style it up?
