Posted by dulwichmum on Sat 25 September 2010

Name of product: The Smoking Jacket – Isabella Oliver 365

Price: £189.00

The blurb: “Velvet chic. The classic smoking jacket – a style staple that is quintessentially British. Add a stylish accent to a relaxed day look with this women’s velvet jacket, or wear as a finishing touch to your party outfit, Baukjen (Founder of Isabella Oliver)”

First impressions: As usual, the presentation of this Isabella Oliver garment is stunning; a stylish box, tissues and ribbon. Talk about self gifting! Quite simply, this jacket is beautiful! The cut and colour are achingly elegant. The contrasting lining, visible if you roll the cuffs, imparts a quirky modern feel; an updated look on last season’s boyfriend blazer fashion

Ease of Use: I am yet to find an outfit that the smoking jacket does not compliment. Velvet is a texture that goes with anything!

Pros: I feel sexy and feminine in this classic cut jacket and know I will be the envy of everyone at the school gate. The colour is very now. I am completely on trend (smirk).

Cons: The catwalk video on the website does not do it justice!

Value for money:. This is an investment piece, it will be worn for years to come and will instandly update a wardrobe this season. A great buy

Dulwichmum verdict:
