Burberry Event

It was meant to be a childrenswear event. A lot of thought has gone into ensuring that the children are taken care of whilst their mothers shopped. There was an art and craft station along with a cheerful entertainer who performed magic tricks and had the young audience so enthralled that they barely noticed their mothers have disappeared (yippeeeee!). What mother wouldn't take the opportunity to offload their monsters beloved offspring while they enjoyed a couple of hours of hassle free shopping while sipping a glass of refreshing juice and nibbling on sweet treats?






Both Jacqueline and I loved the coat but sadly, it's only available in mini sizes.





It was wonderful to finally meet Angela of Lattes and Juice in person and her handsome son as well as her mom. There was so much to talk about that we couldn't possibly squeeze it all in one short afternoon. Since I'm Hermes mad anyway, I couldn't stop ogling at her gorgeous Hermes Etoupe Evelyne.




Or Jacqueline's blue Balenciaga City bag. It's little wonder that we actually met on The Purse Forum many years ago. Thankfully, our handbag addiction is under control these days.



I couldn't stop thinking about this Burberry trench coat. It's absolutely brilliant. It's showerproof, comes with a wool blend removable lining for colder months as well as a hood for those of us who detest carrying an umbrella. The fabric is a little stiffer which gives it a more structured look to the wearer. It comes up pretty big. This was actually a size UK 6. It's the first Burberry trench coat that I fell in love with. I think it's from the previous collection as it's not available online anywhere but there are variations to the design here. Decisions....decisions.....

A huge thank you to my friend Jacqueline and her friends Jenny and Joseph (of Burberry) for the invitation to the Burberry event.
