trench coats.

Thanks Mr. Thomas Burberry. Creator of this wonderful outerwear.

I think they are as classic as ever, but I always seem to bypass it in my closet. Sometimes I think it was way too boring and other times I feel like Mr. Rogers, a detective from a 1940's film or even better a "flasher" (they always seem to wear trench coats, don't they?)


But I do love it and its possibilities are endless.

So when I do wear it I always try to pair it with something a tad "edgier", i.e. jean cut-offs, leather leggings, acid wash...

they are definitely here to stay.

I also had a crazy dream last night of clutches. A wonderfully studded clutch and also a jumbo cream one...ah. it never seems to end.

  2. I agree with you, trenchs are classic but if you know how to pair them, they can look reaally good.

    I want to invest in one for spring, APC possibly.

  23. Oh Lisa! How do you do it?! I feel like I should of figured out your style secrets, but I'm starting to realize, maybe there are no secrets to your style and rather you are one of those rare people whose style is simply effortless, but oh so incredible! Love love the trench, epsecially with what you paired it with, the way you mix in match always makes anything classic (like a trench coat) look modern and fresh!

    Anyway this is short (for a chatterbox like me, anyhow! :P) but I really must dash, because I'd like a shower for bed, which I must get to soon, cause I'll be up bright early to work 9 hours tomorrow, and then the next day, part midnight... I think my work place's sole goal is to make sure I never have regular sleep haha.

    Oh and for your sweet comment, thank you! Ahsante! Mahalo! Merci! Kpè nu wé! Efharisto! Arigato! Takk! (That's "thank you" in a bunch of random languages... whether my translations are correct, don't count on it! :P)

    Um, wow, see this was going to be short and somehow I managed to make it long!

    Anyway, going now (for real this time ;)), take care! <3

  40. Wow you are my new style inspiration, that trench coat and jeans look is really chic!

    I want to copy this exact look and top it off with my gorgeous diamond earrings from www.idonowidont.com that my fiance bought me and show off the look downtown with my girlfriends.

    You make trench coats look like runway material!

  41. I'd like to see the clutches you dreamt about! Haha.

    The trench is a classic piece. It's an essential in a wardrobe.

    You wear it so well. You pretty gal.

  45. Love, love, love trench coats! They are my favourites! I have one in this colour and another in black and I can't stop wearing them.
    Lisa, I'm sorry if I cannot post very often lately, we have a lot of thing to prepare into the following weeks. So much stress, when I arrive home I'm just exhausted... :S
    I'm glad to see you more gorgeous and classy everyday!

  46. Lisa i love ur trench ... great blog do drop by n check mine too . :o)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Brilliant trench, I am forever on a constant search for the perfect one... Cant go wrong with Burberry though - need extra funds! I have a slouchy one and its definately a 'flasher' coat
    You can do DIY its so easy, its all just about customisation really, and with the huge trend in fringing and studs and lace lately - the possiblities are endless!

    I love working out to early daft punk and the presets latest album for running and then something angry for cycling... like rock'n'roll or metal! New stars at the moment is it? Cant find them on myspace, ill have to get hold of it somewhere else.

    How amazing is my drawing by Danny at Igor and Andre!? I swear i almost burst into tears when i saw it. I'm so incredibly lucky.
    Thanks for your gorgeous comments!!

  55. Ah, this coat is awesome. I once wrote a paper on trench coats... Flashers do seem to wear them, but also Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart...lots of associations really. You wear it well. I like the "edge" you add.
