I finally got it! My much anticipated, much appreciated Isabel Marant Reilly / July jacket. Yes, it is a jacket of last season, but truly beautiful things never go out of style or season -at least not in my perception.
Thanks to Angela's pictures of the wonderful Toothfairyfashiontale blog I got convinced, this jacket is a true must-have. For me, it was though. So I searched Ebay until my iphone batteries couldn't take it no more, and finally found THE jacket. In a size 2. And i love it love it love it. The ornament beading is the best I've ever seen, the fabric a velvety old paisly and the turquoise around the neckline is real (no glass).
Only thing: if you search for it as well - be VERY careful in the sizing. In fact, a 2 is even a little too tight on me (regular EU size 38). I even play with the thought of taking it to the tailor to see if he or she can squeez an inch out of it considering the armpit, but am a bit afraid of doing so.
For those of you still in awe or need for the same: here are the measurements:
Shoulder-to-shoulder: 43 cm
Length from nape of the neck to seam: 51 cm
Armlength: 52 cm
Underarm distance: 42 cm
