The Art of the Trench

There is nothing better than a classic trench coat. One of my flatmate recently showed me a gorgeous vintage Burberry trench that made me lusty for one of my own. Mr Sartorialist, Scott Schulman, undertook a project for Burberry called The Art of the Trench, which is super cool, but outside of the realm of Burberry are these babies, also utterly enviable. I may have to invest, I think. With the right layers, I might avoid freezing to death in the brutal Edinburgh wind!

Shear Perfection

We’ve all seen the Burberry shearling leather jacket printed here there and everywhere. I just love it. The dramatic collar, the cosy-factor alongside the high fashion-factor.

Yesterday I tried on the Topshop version, which comes in about £2,000 cheaper than the Burberry original – it’s pretty wonderful. Unfortunately, it’s still £325… So, it won’t be arriving in my closet any time soon! But those looking for a cheaper alternative to the glorious Burberry shearling, should look no further.
