Style Icon
I have to admit I joined the Emerson Fry movement a bit late in the game. And although I did spend quite a few months coveting many pieces in her collection, I only recently allowed myself the first splurge. Well that broke the seal if you will and I now own a small (although expensive) collection of my favorite shoes from her Spring collection. Prior to the recent sneak peak from her upcoming Fall line, I day dreamed a collection that included more, more, more! Im talking about handbags, jewelry, hats, more shoes. Basically anything and everything that I can get my hands on that will allow me to live a life styled by Emerson Fry. Never did I imagine she would also include a perfume as well! Ahhh, Im in heaven! Not only is this pretty lady my style icon for sure, she’s also a role model for pursuing your dreams.
Will leave it at this;

Emerson Fry – via the Bostonista:
“The first thing is to decide on the deepest level that the thing you love doing is worth doing, so much so that it is worthy of obsession. That’s the fire that starts the engine. After that, you must promise yourself to work extremely hard and do good work everyday, and that you will never give up, no matter what. Just say, “I will never give up, I will never give up, I will never give up,” like the little engine that could. When you decide this, everything you want is yours —it’s just a matter of working hard and pushing through the hard parts with a grin on your face. The grin comes from knowing you can do it because you decided you would.”

Emerson Fry
The only sad thing about my new Emerson Fry heels is that they are almost too beautiful to be taken out of their box. In the event that I can one day allow myself to liberate them I am not sure I will be able to cope having these pretty shoes sullied by the unworthy ground. I am vowing here and now to never buy another pair of shoes (or pretty much any article of clothing) not designed by the fabulous Emerson herself (my girl crush and most certainly style icon of the moment).

Burberry Chic
Not too long ago, I wrote about my desire to one day own the chicest in outerwear apparel, from the most luxurious of all brands, the British Burberry trench coat. Today, I came across a featured article on Le Monde.fr, giving a brief, albeit chic, history on one of the U.K’s most well known brands (check out the corresponding slideshow for a visual history as well). Thank you Burberry for inspiring a trend that gives us modern day fashion warriors an elegant defense against the cold.
The trench, post-trenches
DECRYPTION – originally designed for soldiers in the war of 14, this classic finds some of its bite of yesteryear.
The story of this successful play begins with the First World War. In 1914, Englishman Thomas Burberry sees himself ordered a raincoat to protect the Tommies who will soon be mired in the trenches.
This will be the trench coat, cut in a solid gabardine, reinforced shoulders, and fitted withmetal rings. It then loses its warlike character. The mantle of this city and star of the screen displayed by Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich.
The designers take over the mantle became a basic. However, it remains a signature of the house Burberry. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Burberry trench coat is a sign of bourgeois chic. He purrs. Not for long: Christopher Bailey, creative director of the house,arrived in 2002, makes a beast of style. Studded, embroidered, trimmed in leather, silk orraffia: he became the favorite weapon of war fashion.
