Coats

I love this scene from Love Story where Harvard pre-law hockey player Oliver Barrett IV and Radcliffe music student Jenny Cavalleri are speeding along on a cold winter's day in his classic MG. I also love that they are sporting classic trench and camel hair coats.
Long a staple for men and normally relegated to our Winter wardrobes, this season, trench, proper wool & camel hair coats are in abundance.

This camel coat may be a little on the dark side of the color spectrum, but it's still the perfect sort of coat to take you through Autumn & into Fall.

The camel coat has proved to be the perfect layering piece for the cold days we're still facing. If you haven't laid your hands on one already, do so.  Remember, the classics never go out of style!

On Monday, before my fly fishing lesson, I had to stop by the Jeep dealership.

While I was waiting in the customer service lounge, I thumbed through the latest Town & Country, Architectural Digest & Veranda...Don't you wish every waiting room had this assortment!  Anyway, I was drooling over the T&C Fall Fashion Issue which featured these beautiful coats.  I loved them all and wanted to share!

"I love the idea that people from all over the world can share those stories and images with each other and all the different attitudes and expressions of the Burberry trench coat and the people who wear it."Christopher Bailey, Burberry Creative Director

Remember, Art Of The Trench is alive & constantly changing story of the trench coat and the people who wear it. So today when I head out to the market I will be wearing mine. If I happen to see this guy following me, I will not assume he's from the Bourne Identity and run, I will pose and let my trench do all the talking!

You see, Art of the Trench also features specially commissioned trench portraits by fashion & street style photographers like the talented Scott Schuman of The Satorialist. I didn't make it into his book, The Sartorialist, but maybe some of you did!
The Sartolialist book by Scott SchumanIn closing...I'm headed to Fresh Market, The Mousetrap Wine & Cheese Shop, and the Video store.  It's a good night to rent Love Story because it doesn't get much more romantic than doing the rounds at the Wollman Rink.  Remember, its where Oliver and Jenny went skating in Central Park. I'll probably have the soaring music in my head for days.
