in lust: burberry prorsum a/w13

I have been swooning over the Burberry Prorsum A/W13 collection ever since it debuted a few days ago. This may be due to my undying love of Burberry. Or for the sole fact that if I were a man, this would be my dream wardrobe. I realize most men are a bit leery of animal print, especially in such large quantities. However I adore the over-sized, 40s styled coats; they're loud and classic all at once. The military jackets were quite nice, as well as the touches of animal print which appeared on everything- satchels, shoes, sunglasses, collars and coat linings. Perhaps the real reason I love this collection so much is because I would gladly steal any one of these effortlessly cool pieces from my boyfriend (who does not exist, but that is beside the point). 

side note: I've yet to find the appropriate words for the JW Anderson show. Androgynous doesn't even begin to explain it. 

happy (belated) new year!

Because we had no New Years Eve plans, Cat and I decided to be completely rational and go to a house party take the train to New York City. Apparently we've become quite good at making spontaneous decisions (wait until we start blogging about London). 

This gave me the perfect opportunity to debut the vintage silver fox fur (or wolf hair, as a NYPD officer so kindly suggested) my mom bought me for Christmas! Cat and I spent the entire day on 5th avenue, lusting over the menswear collection in Burberry and the furs in Miu Miu. We also got a cheeky sneak peak of the new Saint Laurent Paris ready-to-wear collection, which has a fresh, young vibe to it, as we simultaneously swooned over their male employees (YSL you have fabulous taste). We then paid tribute to Holly Golightly and took a spin through Tiffany's before heading down to Times Square. It was very cold, very crowded and one Starbucks each wasn't cutting it- it was absolute madness! Next year will most definitely consist of sipping champagne from a hotel room overlooking the festivities. Here's to a cheeky new year!








Any New Years Resolutions? (I'm fairly certain I've broken all of mine already)
