Barbour for Life

Barbour may not be made in the USA, but they are made for life. There is nothing more fair than investment pieces that will last a lifetime, and a Barbour jacket is exactly that.

As long as you take good care of your jacket--getting it re-waxed when it needs it, for example--your Barbour coat will be functional and stylish for life. I recommend adding the hood accessory and the woolly lining for winter so that the coat can transition from fall to rainy slush to winter with ease.

I promise you that this post is not sponsored in any way by Barbour, I just think their coats are timeless and fair, especially the waxed canvas men's version that I'm wearing now.

Birds of a Feather

When Victoria and I came upon this little scene the other day, we couldn't help but snap a few pictures on our way to dinner.

This outfit is almost exclusively from Secondi, from the blouse to the pleather skirt to the shoes. I sincerely believe that Secondi is the best consignment store in DC. It's certainly my favorite. I always find something special there, and I feel like they give me a fair price for the pieces I consign.

The bag is vegan and the earrings were a gift from my friend Jeannie, who brought them back for me from her cross-country road trip. I love them so much that I styled the whole outfit around them. They're handmade in the USA-- she met the woman who made them--and I was so touched that she bought me "fair" jewelry on her trip. Thanks, Jeannie!

Wednesday Wants: Vintage Leather

Ok, so I am still not over my leather obsession. This could last for a while, folks. But c'mon, isn't this vintage Fendi sweater AMAZING? Don't you want to throw it over black leggings or skinny jeans and put on some spiky ankle boots and a giant abstractly shaped silver ring? YOU DO.

Wednesday Wants: If I Weren't Baroque...

Love, love, love these brocade pumps by Jason Wu. They are the perfect fall/winter staple, and as we learned on Labor Day, Jason Wu designs and produces his lines in the USA.

I would wear these babies with everything from jeans to LBDs to pencil skirts-- they look busy, but I know I could pair them with almost anything...except my budget. If you can afford them, get thee to Net-A-Porter and snap them up!
