Perhaps no garment is as romanticized as the trench coat; from South Africa to France to Casablanca to London, it has remained functional and almost unchanged for over 100 years.  

Look closely at the pictures in this article and you’ll notice the trench coat of a century ago is almost identical to those sold in shops today.  Surprisingly, very few men sport a trench coat nowadays despite its enduring heritage.  

For WWI, Burberry redesigned the coat to include D-rings and shoulders straps, and the British War Board ordered over half a million of them for the military’s officers. The coat quickly became a coveted item among soldiers; it held its own in cold weather by utilizing a wool blanket insert and also served as an emergency sleeping system. The coat earned its name from the protection and mobility it provided to the men fighting in the war’s infamous trenches.

Nowadays we see them all over the place celebrities and laymen all love the trench.  No other brand does the trench better than Burberry.  I love you Burberry.

I long for your quilted leather jacket and the over sized aviator leather a shearing jacket....

and throw in those boots because they're spectacular!!!! Wow! Yummm

So much, so much geek chic and leather yumm

This post is jumbled but so is my thought process. Here we have some super wicked models with some really sweet ensembles.  I think of T-Rex (Marc Bolan) when I look at this type of clothing.  Its a mix of 70's and 80's .... which is sexy glam rock, the best type of music right? well at least when I'm dancing in my bedroom trying to figure out what to wear. Anyways, his lyrics make no sense but they are catchy and resonate with my soul for whatever reason....he was on to something clearly.  I add the hubcap pic because of his one line in the song: 'GET it ON'...."well youre built like car, you have hubcap diamond star halo...you're built like a car oh yeah" sheer brilliance.  I'll add the song as well so you get a full dose of what I'm thinking.  Boogie, Sexy, Leather baby!

christmas

Tis the season to jolly...Let me paint a picture for you of how we like to party with the fam-jam...
So your grooving with your grandparents; family... I picture myself wearing something hideous just to be an asshole and piss off my parents.  I'm thinking a retro Christmas sweater with a bit of tinsel in my hair.  Everyone is sitting watching a hardcore classic: Scrooge....Grandma is hammered on Baileys, the rest of us have overdosed on too much wine and lasagna.  We're gearing up for midnight mass oh joy oh bliss...my dad is cracking jokes in church we get scolded by the active church goers.  (will attach picture of hideous sweater...I'm on the look out for it) Stay tuned.

Well as we count down for X-Mas, I hope you don't get too frazzled and ensure safe holiday shopping. check the back seat of your car for any criminals. and make sure you carry a switch blade in your purse (kidding!!!!)

The above samples are from various pockets of the Internet.   I especially like the x-mas card bit, its cute inexpensive and fun.  The modern Christmas seems very removed, harsh and boring, I know I wouldn't want to have my Christmas gift under that tree. who would?...like some serious boring assholes have a tree...it's heartless really it's made out of jenga piece which is actually pretty smart (for an art project) it's festive it pretentious

This season brings us a slew of wonderful trendy and classy footwear.  I’ve been eyeing a few.  Christian Louboutin has come out with this rock and roll studded black knee high pair that are absolutely gorgeous.  A girlfriend of mine bought them…and they are divine.  (See attached photo) I on the other hand want a pair of boots that look to me like 1800’s.  Something you’d see a woman wearing during the 1800’s walking down coble stone streets.  These boots make me think of French lace, a Laura Ashley prints, lavender and rolling hills in Tuscany.
