Ask and Tell: HM Long Wool-Blend Coat Seen on Jasmine Sanders

ArianneUpdated on December 3, 2018November 7, 2018

The Item: Top model and cover girl, Jasmine Sanders wearing the HM Long Wool-Blend Coat with wide waist belt. The beauty was spotted in her chic coat in several pics posted to social media platform, Instagram.

You Asked: Now this a lewk! I have been online on H&M’s website and googling like a madwoman trying to find this stupid coat! I don’t think it is anywhere even in the dark web. So irritated right now but I know if anyone can find this thing it is y’all. So I will be checking the site to see if you answer this one because this coat is bomb!

Ask and Tell: HM Long Wool-Blend Coat Seen on Jasmine Sanders

The Verdict: Thank you for your fashion inquiry, and we have to be honest… this coat WAS hard to locate! However, being the queens of online hunting we found it. In her stylish photos, model Jasmine Sanders aka Golden Barbie was flaunting the HM Long Wool-Blend Coat in Camel. We love the wide belt that fastens from the inside to cinch the waist.

In our search we also found this coat in an Olive Green shade. It’s just as chic, but for some reason we still lean towards the Camel shade. The cost? Well, that’s where things get a bit tricky. While this coat may pop up on the H&M website, there seems to be no price button. However, we did locate this look on Ebay for $89.

UPDATE!!! We got several additional inquiries about this coat and sadly have to say that the ones on Ebay sold out. HOWEVER… this look is up on the H&M site with a price now! It is retailing for $199. Here is a link if you wish to purchase: HM Long Wool Blend Coat.

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

Fashionable Mention: The Naked Tiger Overall Dress- Awesome Chic Find!

Arianne Suggs October 10, 2018October 10, 2018

We love when not only do we find an awesome chic style find, but it also happens to come from an AMAZING fashion label that just gets it! First of all, during our weekly search of cool, trendy pieces we came across The Naked Tiger Overall Dress. A fun design that comes across edgy and spicy without being too overtly sexy.

Moreover, the Overall Dress comes in two color variations. A nice crisp, white tone as well as a very appropriate fall season khaki green. Both look cute so you can’t go wrong with either option.

Now what we love best about the actual vibe of this item; is the V cut shape which makes any bust look amazing. Also, the front zipper detailing and side panel pockets (YAY!) make it easy to store a phone, wallet or even a lipstick or two.

Additionally, the side cut-outs and exposed back will leave any bystander gasping for air. All in all this look is chic, sassy and perfect for day or night plans. If chilly simply add a jacket and some ankle boots and you are good to go! Therefore, get your Overall Dress online at thenakedtiger.com for $90.

Fashionable Mention: The Naked Tiger Overall Dress

Besides the cute fashions, we found The Naked Tiger website to be extremely user friendly. Which is so important and useful being that the brand is based all the down in Australia. Furthermore, once on the site the currency quickly changed to the money of our own home country. Moreover, we noted that right at the top of the site, there is an option to instantly change what type of currency you would like to see on the Naked Tiger clothing website.

Very helpful indeed. Not having to head to a Google calculator or currency converter to try to estimate how much you will be paying; makes the shopping experience easy and more enjoyable. A simple luxury that unfortunately some foreign retailers don’t always decide to offer.
