WISHLISTED // BURBERRY, I WANT

Burberry Bridle House Check Crossbody.

Undecided on which colour. 

But isn't this a beaut? I think I'm in love.

VINTAGE // BURBERRY + OSCAR DE LA RENTA

Truth to be told... I'm not really a fan of vintage. But then again all I can think of is the musky smell of a thrift shop. But... in just a recent turn of events... and the realisation that I can buy a designer for 1/10 of the retail price - I was sold. So, Neha and I wandered to the Parkdale area after Dave was pointing out the other day which was his fave vintage store.

Neha and I were just browsing and didn't think much of what we could find anything... until Neha tried on a cape then I started to browse the rack... Givenchy... Burberry... Balenciaga. Neha pulled out a Burberry trench for me to try on. I slipped it on and fit nicely. The downfall was the sleeve... but as I kept it on and walked around in it. I started to fall in love. As I was inspecting the condition of the trench & I noticed there was a zipper... I unzip and behold the wool lining became a vest/cape. Neha was sold. Price tag was $125. Amazing buy for a vintage Burberry and so my collection grows. I also tried on the Balenciaga black cape... which I'm kind of at awe still. Still contemplating...
