{have a lovely winter weekend & links}

. . . the midst of another winter weekend after a wonderfully whirling week, and it has been coffee & croissants in the morning and whisked away out of town for dinner in the evening, a glittering set of antique cut crystal stemware sent as a surprise from p's grandmother, and now, cozy on a saturday night with languid dreams of a late morning and sunday brunch, flower markets and the heady sent of luxurious bouquets, mohair blankets and the utter romance of watching the world fall away . . .

hope you're having a stunningly lovely weekend wherever you may be & that it's beautiful where you are,

{eternally chic: the classic trench coat}

One of my favourite things about Spring is running out the door in a light trench -- whether paired with a favourite pair of jeans or a cocktail dress, it is one item that always makes me feel hopelessly stylish and effortlessly put together . . .

In 1879, a young former draper's assistant, Thomas Burberry, invented gabardine, a comfortable yet durable tightly-woven, water-resistant fabric. This fabric was a stunning success, with orders flooding in, and the first major client being the British Army.

Using his own designs for officers' coats made 13 years earlier for the War Office, Burberry added shoulder straps and metal rings to his gabardine coat, and the trench coat was created. Today the Burberry trench coat remains one of fashion's most coveted pieces.

Lightweight, weather resistant and eternally chic, the classic trench is as stylish today as it was when Audrey Hepburn wore one in Breakfast At Tiffany's.
