Below I've styled two outfits that go from day to night with my silver Alias Mae boots.

Invention of the trench coat is claimed by two British luxury clothing manufacturers, Burberry and Aquascutum, with Aquascutum's claim dating back to the 1850s. Thomas Burberry invented gabardine fabric in 1879 and submitted a design for an Army officer's raincoat to the United Kingdom War Office in 1901.

In 1850 Thomas Burberry created the first iteration of the timeless trench coat. Marlene Dietrich was my personal favorite trench coat wearing dame. She brought the outerwear option to the world of women's fashion with her sultry, and strong feminine flair. Do you have a favorite dame? or broad??  Google around for a screen siren from the past and find one that you can embody their aura... Pretend, dream a little...dress up and let your imagination take you anywhere you want to go.

TRENCH COAT DAMES:

BRIGITTE BARDOT / CATHERINE DENEUVE / GOLDIE HAWN / TWIGGY / FRANCOISE HARDY / JACKIE KENNEDY / AUDREY HEPBURN / KATE MOSS / YOU...

If you're going to fall, fall in love with you... all else will fall into place...

A LABOR OF LOVE IN BLUEJEANS

Happy Labor Day weekend!  Thank goodness...one more holiday is here. Labor Day means different things to different people - barbeques, watching that last summer sunset at the beach, the new school year begins, and yes... the end of summer. With all the family time and good food, we often forget the reason we are celebrating. Besides no work or school, it's the American holiday dedicated to appreciating the American workforce. Part of the American culture is the forever loved blue jeans, so take a break from rolling up your sleeves and enjoy your three day weekend wearing a pair of your favorite blue jeans.

I'm a fan of the big cuff, these are one of my favorite go-to's Adding a scarf to any clutch or tote gives a bit of that French girl flair. Reyna Icaza designs beautiful clutch & totes. Tell her I sent you!

Here's a fun fact; Dungaree is another way of saying blue jeans. It is an old Hindi word meaning coarse, calico or denim. The word came from the name of a village in what is now Mumbai.
