I can’t believe it’s taken me over 2 years since the closure of my boutique to don this Alldressedup coat. I’d been saving it as I was planning to gift it to a friend when the right opportunity arose, but being black, it resided to the Noir section of my wardrobe, a large expanse of darkness where garments become inextinguishable unless you comb them. The coat features a bustle-like peplum and 2 very deep and cosy pockets (my favourite features for any garment), the perfect disguise for a growing baby bump :) It has no buttons, is held together magically with disguised magnets. Being waterproof and boasting an adjustable waist tie, I think it just may tick all the right boxes as my New York travel coat!

As you know, I’m currently working almost more than full time at the vet clinics. People are always amazed by my boundless energy. “How come I never see you tired?”, friends and colleagues routinely ask me. I can only thank God for it as I’ve always been like this as long as I can remember. Being tired or lazy were never options in our household, so I must thank my parents for setting such incredible examples for me. I have to admit though, lately I’ve been defeated. The word ‘tired’ has finally entered my vernacular. Something has sabotaged my recharge button.
And that something is an addictive iPad game called Kingdom Rush. I’m not a gamer, but I’d happily dedicate the most precious times of my day to this alternative world of warring towers and monster enemies (they’re so cute!). I honestly think that MiniKee may have even memorized the theme song by now in vivo… But the other day, I experienced an epiphany:”Late nights are the enemies of early risers.” I’m so thankful that I still had a sprinkling of self control left to delete Kingdom Rush. I think Sleep and I will get along just fine.

[spoiler title=”中文版”] 真不感相信，我花了2年多的时间，自从我的精品关闭后，才穿上这件Alldressedup的大衣。我一直保存着它，因为本来打算到合适的机会送给朋友。因为它是黑色的，一到我的衣柜里面，大衣就消失了。这件外套设计地很好，有二个非常深与舒适的口袋（任何服装最好都有口袋），而且它能遮着我的宝宝肚。:)它没有按钮，是由磁铁石奇迹般地扣起来的。防水，并拥有一个可已伸缩的腰扎，我想可能会是我去纽约旅游的大衣！
最近，我的兽医诊所工作几乎超过全职。人们总是惊讶于我无限的能量。 “为什么我从来没看到你累？”，朋友和同事们经常问我。我只能感谢神，因为我从小到大都还记得，疲倦或懒惰是我们的家庭里不允许的习惯，这方面我必须感谢我的父母从小为我立的好榜样。但我不得不承认，最近我被打败了。累这个字终于进入了我的单词本。有一样东西破坏了我的充值按钮。
这东西是一个上瘾的iPad游戏。我不是一个游戏玩家，但最近我很乐意地奉献我一天最珍贵的时光在这另类世界的交战塔和怪物敌人上。老实说，我认为宝宝Kee甚至在体内已经记住了主题曲… 但终有一天，我经历了一个顿悟：“晚夜是早起的敌人。”我很感谢神，我用了最后一点点的自控制能力删除了这游戏。我认为睡眠和我将会相处的很好。[/spoiler]

Oh, you’re precious! I love this red and black color combo. Haha, I’m the same way with sleep–I need eight hours because otherwise, I’m a monster! Have a beautiful week!
This is really interesting that you don´t allow you caused by your education not to be tired … but I know, education works – mostly much more than we are able to imagine …
Your kind of coat is really cool, good that you stored it!
Wish you a wonderful, successful and happy week <3

Wow, that is so cool that you work at a vet clinic! I love that coat. I’ve never seen anything like that before, it’s so unique. I love the high/low hemline and the little pleats at the neckline. Love those heels as well! The metallic color is so pretty! : )
