It seems silly to be thinking about TYC (this year's coat) with the weather hovering at a very warm 75 degrees in the city right now, but, it is, after all, almost October and the stores are FILLED with fall fashion loveliness.
Shopping with my sister and my mother is always so much fun. Mostly because even though we all have different tastes, we know what looks good on each other. And if we find something good, we all encourage each other to get it. It's fun! The other day we were in Macy's and all the cold-weather coats were out and on sale. Of course, my mom and sister don't need coats living in San Diego and LA where the weather never dips below 80 degrees, but I, definitely, have fallen in love with bundling up when the fog rolls in here in SF.
So, I was the center of attention as they helped me pick out and try on a number of options. It didn't take long for my sister to pick out THE ONE...TYC...bingo! Hilfiger. Hooded. Details. Fit like a perfect glove. Red. This picture doesn't do it justice...namely because to do so, it would have to be a picture of ME in this coat...since it was clearly MADE for me! Ha! I must say, I looked GOOOOOD! And I knew it was TYC because between my mom, sister, and me, our voices suddenly got louder, our speech faster, as the giddyness of finding THE ONE took over. I didn't buy it then and there due to airline luggage restriction issues, but I am off to Macy's this weekend to get it!
I will say, if I had the need and the pocketbook for a 2nd TYC, I'd definitely go for this trendier Manoush option...a nice offset to the traditional Hilfiger one...:
I am obsessed with owning a Burberry bag at some point in my life. And though I was able to blissfully purchase Heaven-in-a-handbag this past weekend, I can't help but long for this new Burberry tote:
Ahhhh, Fall...you've reawakened my shopping desires. OH...and I need a pair of black boots...and a trendy new pair of ankle booties...and a cashmere wrap would be divine...and a new umbrella would come in handy...and some gray wool tights...and...and...and...
