off season

Trench coat: Burberry (borrowed); Jeans: DL1961; Shoes: Saint Laurent; Sunglasses: Ray-Ban; Shirt: St. John; Bag: Chanel

When I was apartment hunting in New York back in March, I remember passing a film crew on Perry Street here in the West Village. At the time, I didn't realize how commonplace this really is -- and immediately wanted to peek over to see if I recognized any of the actors. Unfortunately, I didn't see any familiar faces, but I do remember being very impressed by how well they had transformed this adorable brownstone walk up, once covered in snow and ice, to look like it was in the midst of spring. All ice and snow had been cleared, fake flowers filled the window planters in front and an actor hired as the mailman was in shorts. SHORTS, people. In March. 

Where am I going with this story? Well when this beautiful trench coat from Burberry showed up a few weeks ago for a shoot, I was hesitant to throw it on, given that our humidity and heat is pretty unforgiving here at the moment. But then I thought of that poor actor turned mailman. And what a trooper he was. So I thought, if he can grin and bear it in temps hovering around the 20s, well then I shouldn't let this borrowed trench coat slip out of my hands without donning it a few times.

  1. That is such a beautiful trench, I can see why you'd want to wear it and document it as much as possible :) I'm not a fan of overdressing when it's too hot out though, but you can't tell in these pics, you obviously cope with the heat better than I do!

    I like the red with the denim too :)

  5. Love that trench on you! That red color is amazing. It's such a great coat for the fall. All you need to do is slip that on over jeans and a t-shirt and you are ready to go. I would never have known that it was hot and humid out if you hadn't shared that information with us. Good for you to still do the photos in this coat. They turned out great!

  11. It's a great NYC LONDON PARIS ROME look! I at first thought you were posing at the old Breakfast at Tiffany's townhouse, but, I think that one has green striped awnings...
