I'm Craving... Trench Coats

It is getting real close to my Europe trip and I still have not found the perfect trench coatTrench coats were the "hottest" item revealed on the 2011 cat walk and a must have this Spring.

 Even the precious Kate Middleton is sporting one.

From the Burberry Collection...$995.00 (click to get the look for the less)



With the weather a bit on the chilly side in other countries of the world,(not like muggy Nola although lately the weather has been quit delectable) and the fact it adds such flare to an outfit, you can see why it is a must have.

History:
  • worn by soldiers in WWI in France
  • these coats were used to hold maps and such 
  • when the world ended, the soldiers wore them back to civilian life and they became quite fashionable there after.
Even the most adorned Audrey Hepburn was seen wearing one in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and shows how feminized the jackets became.



Each season trench coats become more modernized and can turn anyone into a trench coat tizzy.


My Wishlist:

Anthroplogie & Ruffled Trench





Modcloth & Metrostyle






 Aren't they phenomenal? 
And then I found the one...
                                             


                          

                                        The jacket that was meant for me...or at least I thought :(



                                
                                 
                                                                    Where should I start:
                  The adorable mint color, the girly bows, the train like back detailing, and on sale ...$40!

                                                    But of course they were SOLD OUT!
                                                       BOOOO.....BOOOO...BOOOO...




                                         So I am still on the hunt...I must stay as fierce as these chicas!

Tips:

When purchasing a trench coat, make sure it is customized to your body type. Don't be afraid to get one that shows your personality...it will look more amazing worn with confidence. When bought in a neutral color, your trench can become a key part to your wardrobe and be worn throughout many seasons.
