It was a typical day in Vancouver today - rain, rain, and more rain! Frankly, I am getting a little tired of it. Living in this city is so limiting in terms of what I can wear on a daily basis. The obvious rotation includes jeans, a wool or cashmere sweater, pashmina scarf, Hunter boots, and of course, my vintage trench. Although I really love this last piece, it's time for a change.
Originally from Spain circa 1970s and designed by Cortefiel, one of the largest fashion retailers in the region, I picked up this classic beauty from a tiny vintage store in Paris a few years ago. It's a wonderfully crafted garment incorporating warm fleece lining, a form fitted body, 3/4 length sleeves and I always get compliments on it, but I'm desiring something a little newer, something a little more modern, something a little more... Burberry!
I remember my last trip to the luxury retailer where I saw some truly exquisite pieces. Kudos to Christopher Bailey and team for creating such imaginative and inventive pieces with such a classic staple. This year's Burberry trenches feature detachable collars, luxurious furs, pleated skirts, just to name a few. I am most amenable to the double breasted fur collar trench in black. Priced at just over $2,500 CDN makes it just slightly out of reach here in Vancouver, so who knows, maybe it will be my first big purchase in London?!
