Burberry

I love simplicity. 

For me simplicity says less is more. Which is why I enjoy how the English and Italians dress, or the elegant renderings of Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, and Balenciaga. 

Since I work at Burberry, I feel that it is more then appropriate to make this next chapter about the place that I work at... Burberry. 

Let me give you a background check...

-Thomas Burberry established his business in 1856.
-He focused on outerwear in the beginning. 
-He invented the weave Gabardine, which is what a majority of our trench coats are made of.
-Gabardine was patented in 1888.


There's even a fabulous short film they've created to demonstrate what Burberry has done:


Of course what makes me love Burberry the most, is that ICONIC trench coat. 


When you put on our trench coat, you can feel the difference. 

-You feel like a million bucks.
-Everyone looks good in a trench coat. 
-You can wear it for any occasion. 

I can't tell you how I know about the Burberry trench coat, it's just one of those things I've always been aware of. What I can tell you is that it's an investment. 

*It's the next piece of luxury item I'm saving for. Yes I know I live in Florida.

Now if I try to think of when I first became aware of the trench coat, I instantly think of Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca. This entire scene to be exact:




Really, any time I see a movie with the character wearing a trench coat I always wonder if it's Burberry. By the way, how gorgeous is Ingrid Bergman in this movie. Her outfits are so fabulous.

Here are some additional scene's where Burberry was part of the wardrobe. 

Breakfast at Tiffany's 

Gilmore Girls- This same jacket was worn by Toni Collette in xXx 

I could go on and on about the history of Burberry and the detailing of each clothing, but then that means this article would be forever long, and I've gotta get ready for work. 

 I found some other articles that talk about Burberry, so click on the links below to check it out. 

 Also, if you ever see something online that you think might interest me, tag me it.

This ain't Texas...

Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore. Zoo York is an understatement. Zoo's are organized and separated. This place is more like Chaotic New York, but then again that doesn't flow as nicely and there for not nearly as many tshirts would be sold... if any. Where I live: Yonkers, NY. Today I got to do something I've always wanted to do... go jogging in the city. I really do love the city, and if I ever come back to Texas it'll be for these reasons: 1. I want space 2. Tired of paying for so much 3. Sick of seeing trash everywhere I look... this really is a dirty city. But seriously, it's so gorgeous up here it'll take a miracle to get me bk in Tx. Now for pictures... There is green everywhere. My apt is on the left. This is what I thought to myself today... Ever wonder why the bad guy (in movies) doesn't realize he's being watched or followed? I think I know why, there's cars lined up the street everywhere. N...

inSIGHTful....

I have officially been here one month. HOW?! This time last month my family and I were unloading the truck.  Ok, so this is a majority of everything i've been doing this past month. First I apologize for the few blogs I've posted. I literally have no time. This is me Monday through Friday for me: Get up at 6a Leave at 8a *walk half a mile to the bus* Bus ride 10 min Subway 40 min The subway I take every morning. The 1 train Arrive at KU by 9:30a - I usually have a 15 min window to grab a Starbucks :) Leave KU around 7p  Get home between 8:30-9:30p... it just depends on what I need to do afterwards.  ON TOP OF THAT I'm still looking for a job and trying to assist with things bk in Texas. Nice thing about taking the subway is that it has taught me to be on time. I haven't been late once! That itself is a miracle. I get off the subway right at 42nd and 7th which is Times Square. (I'll update with pics later) So in regards to w...

NY Bound pt 2...

Tuesday's adventure... *Don't cheat, make sure you check out the pics on pt.1  :) Tuesday morning we were all exhausted. I don't know how truck drivers do it??? So Tuesday morning we were on the road at 7a... Texas time. Unfortunately we didn't account for the time change that would happen that evening, which caused us to arrive very late to our hotel that evening. Anyhow, since we were residing on the outskirts of Missouri/Illinois, we had to take advantage of seeing the legendary arch. If you ever go to Illinois... which is even better then Missouri, simply cause it's gorgeous and has so much history to view... GO SEE THE ARCH! Love the streets :) St. Louis My dad and I on the steps... far far away :) Just to give you somewhat of an idea of how wide it is in comparison to me.... I kinda felt like Rocky being on those steps. How does that song go??? You know your humming it in your head right now :) ...
