The Jean Jacket

One of my colleagues asked my recommendation for a spring coat that wasn't a trench coat. I could feel her frustration.

The weather is getting warmer, but it's not quite summer yet. Though we've seen many a light jacket on the runway, which one is affordable and versatile with fashion longevity?

In my humble opinion, I'd say my favorite spring jacket is one that I feel should be a staple in every woman's closet.

The Jean Jacket.

Mine happens to be Diesel, which I got on sale at a Diesel outlet... so... SCORE!

I love this jacket so much and wore it today. It was a beautiful day in Boston, but my sleeveless maxi wasn't appropriate for the weather. I knew I'd feel a bit cold.

So I threw my denim jacket over the dress and walked the streets of Boston in style.

Santa LOVED me this year

It is no secret amongst anyone who knows me. I LOVE Burberry. I wear Burberry perfume. I have Burberry galoshes. I have Burberry sandals. I buy Burberry gifts for other people.

This year I bought my boyfriend an awesome Burberry tie. I saw the grey version on Saks, but they didn't have any left. I opted for the brown version without a clear picture. I had it pre-wrapped, so even when I got it in the mail I didn't have a chance to take a look at it.

When my boyfriend opened it, he loved it. Heck I loved it. It was a gorgeous tie. 

Then he handed me my gift. I wasn't surprised to see the Burberry bag, but I was surprised at how BIG the box was. I opened it up and nearly died. He bought me the gorgeous winter coat you see in the above picture in WHITE. 

I secretly had been dying for a white, down-feather winter coat. When I told him this, he joked that he knew it. It fits beautifully. It looks amazing on me. Although I'm not interested in more snow this winter, I really won't mind the cold this year.

Happy New Year everyone!
