Well... I got excited about Burberry all over again when I saw the newest ad campaign, starring the lovely Emma Watson. Her sweet face was one of the first huge fashion ads to welcome me to London last fall, and I'm glad she's back for another season. Here's a few of my favorite shots from the campaign.
(P.S. I really am going to have to go stalk Emma at Brown University one of these days. Anyone want to join me? It's too good an opportunity to pass up. lol - Just kidding! ;)
Once again, Burberry is set to make a splash for spring, that wonderful in-between season where short sleeves and full skirts, leather boots and cable-knit tights, sweaters and jackets all live in harmony. It's completely unpredictable, and that's what makes it so interesting.
Burberry is fabulous because of their dedication to the classics. While each and every item in their new collection is trendy and up to date for the 21st century, it all remains as classic as their iconic trench coat and Burberry plaid. Looks like these just don't go out of style, and that is good news, especially when numerous countries are in a recession, and we can't afford new things every season.
You will see that Emma is sporting various trench styles in these photos, showing how much versatility they really have. They can be worn with dress pants, jeans, a skirt... or as a dress itself. I think that using outerwear as a complete top, rather than just another layer, is fabulous.
Of course, you just have to dress it up with a really amazing statement bag, and maybe some accessories... like chunky bangles bracelets or a wide, studded belt.

Would any of these looks work for you? Have you got a neglected or forgotten but really fabulous classic coat or jacket in your closet?
Can you hear it calling your name as loudly as the springtime that is just around the corner?
I suggest you take it out and let it make a statement. A great item like that just needs a background - a few simple basics and some accessories - so that it can stand out.
Here's some affordable, fashion-y finds that might give you ideas...
Use your imagination. :)
