thinking of collars

i am making myself a coat! largely in frustration at not being able to find one warm enough to voyage out without a jumper, coat alone. i'm hoping to get back on good terms with my knitting machine, and if not knit the whole thing (a thicker woven outer material may be more functional) at the very least knit a fantastically warm quilted lining. i think the evolving design for this that has been floating around my head can be thanked for my current obsession with collars!
my favourite is the stella mccartney (also loving the grey) but that first streetstyle photo (if anyone knows who this is by, please let me know!) is very very on the button. the bigger, the better, i'm thinking. expect a post on colour soon, right now i'm almost glowing with the thought of yellow, a la sonia rykiel... also, i've been raaaving about the new bombay bicycle club album, matthew doesn't approve, but i adore this song so so SO much. also, 8tracks playlist on the way...
