On Sale: Burberry’s vinyl trench coat for 12 year olds
If you have a 12 year old and don’t want her to miss the trench coat mania then here is your chance to get on with it. Burberry’s is to trench coats what Porsche is to street legal sports cars; none more recognized or better. The coat in question is a vinyl trench, classically double breasted, with nickel colored buttons and buckles along with the cute tartan belt.

On Sale: Gucci silk stole scarf
‘Tis the season for scarves (but its always the season for silk scarves). This black gauze silk Gucci scarf can do wonders with its cool, elegant look. We actually like the ensemble just as it is shown in the picture; a pair of jeans, a lightweight top and the scarf to top it off. 100% silk, made in Italy and on sale too: some days you can have it all.

On Sale: Ralph Lauren Ledbury twill jacket for toddlers
Apparel - No Comments » - Posted on May, 5 at 2:46 pm
A classic twill jacket for the nippy spring days. I actually like the patterned lining quite a bit, showing a bit or color for spring. The lines are crisp and clean and the twill should be able to handle some abuse; always a consideration when you are talking about toddlers. Available for kids up to 24 months.

On Sale: Marc by Marc Jacobs sateen trench coat
Apparel - No Comments » - Posted on April, 25 at 1:00 pm
We are into trench coats as is shown here and here. This new item in “our” collection is from Marc Jacobs and is on sale at the Neiman Marcus. What’s to like? The color, the details, the oversized outside pockets, the 3/4 sleeves with cuffs and the buttons. Chic but in a very casual, unpretentious cool sort of way.
And oh by the way, if you think any red sateen trench coat can be cool, just check this out. Yikes!

On Sale: ‘Gutturno’ coat by Via Spiga

In spite of the global warming we know that winter will be back. This year, no less. Spring is perhaps the best time to stock up on trend proof winter stuff that will stay with you for a while. Tweed has never really gone out of style (although it has had its dips). With the new Burberry watching it, it might stay a while. This winter tweed coat by Via Spiga will keep you warm in style next winter. I like the belt like effect of the faux leather waistband, the straps at the cuffs and the discreet angled pockets that don’t break the silhouette.

On Sale: The little waxed Barbour jacket that could
You are looking at the Barbour waxed Peplum jacket. These waxed jackets are not only functional and tough, but they also look good and just like a good pair of jeans, time will make them look even better. Although their classic look has attracted consumers for a long time, Barbour is not exactly known for modern design. That seems now to be changing. Apart from the example above, the Borbour.com web site reveals a nice collection of new wares. Okay, back to the Peplum. Useful info; it has a perfect for-spring medium weight waxed cotton outer and a 100% cotton tartan lining, two inside and two outside pockets along with one cell phone one on the sleeve. And it also has a moleskin inner collar, hems & cuffs trim. If you have never owned a Barbour and you happen to be a female, well, here is one heck of way to begin.
