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...

Do cats really land on their feet?...

So this blog is a little off the beaten path from what I usually talk about, but I didn't sleep at all last night cause of it... and I would like some input. First though, just a little recap of my latest adventure... sorry no pics today :( Like I've told you before I live in Yonkers. Where this town ends and begin, I have no clue??? Everything just merges together. You could send me to a certain part of this town, and I'll assume I'm still in Yonkers. Of course we all know this'll change with the more I become familiar with it. Anyhow, my roommate was sweet enough to show me a few things about the area, but first you need to understand that she is a fitness instructor.... she teaches Yoga, Zumba, Cycling, etc... the woman's in shape. So yesterday we made it a point to go cycling at 9. The plan was to leave here, cycle together to her gig, and while doing so she would point out some things about the city... like where to go, whats good, whats where, etc. R...

The History of MJRené...

To anyone who has known me since HS and up, knows me as Liz... and sometimes Lizzy. How it becomes Lizzy I don't know cause I really don't like the name, but that's another tangent. Anyhow, when I was younger I went by René and i'm still considered René to close family. However, the MJ initials are very dear to my heart, and that's because they mean something. The initials stand for Mary Jane, which is my grandmother, my dad's mom. I feel that I have a very close and special bond with her. The reason I sign this MJRené is because I honestly feel that it was my grandmother who guided me in this direction. She planted this seed in my life. Now she didn't do it intentionally, in fact this was probably the last thing on her mind, but here's why I do think she is a major contributor to this love I have for fashion. Take a walk with me down memory lane... It feels like I was always at her house when I was younger, and of course I will cherish those memor...
