Wacky weather up ahead . . . - a list by hanahula

Options for This Page

About this list:

The spring is so temperamental with its inevitable mix of showers and sun, warmth and chill, gale-force winds and gentle breezes. Stay one step ahead of the season by arming yourself with a trench, your favorite shades, a new umbrella and a good-looking pair of water-resistant boots. No need to let yourself or your style suffer just because of the change of season.

Qualifications:

I've been caught wearing a trench, singing in the rain.

INTERMIX: Ombre Patent Tote by L.A.M.B.

First to recommend

Description

A glorious summer sunset that you can carry with you, this tote is a sure cure for spring fever and the pin-up girl of summer. Roomy enough for a diaper bag, sleek enough for a business tote and sassy enough for evening, this may be the only tote you'll need until after Labor Day.

Nicole Miller Collection: Spring Jacket

First to recommend

Description

This jacket is a modified trench (note the lone gun flap and single row of front buttons). The collar, cut and color are, nonetheless, of unmistakably trench descent. The maverick of the bunch.

BOTTEGA VENETA: Colonial Spring Gabardine Coat

First to recommend

Description

Long and luxurious, this coat gives a nod to spring with its short, bow-tied sleeves and offers you the option of wearing opera length gloves. You could also swap out the matching belt for one of the braided leather beauties in Bottega's current spring collection.

Vivre: Rubber Boots by Tamara Henriques

First to recommend

Description

Rubber boots that appear as though they have descended from a pair of lady's riding boots, this pair is rough enough for mud but sharp enough for the city streets.

Rock and Republic: Graham in Vapor

A shorter version of the trench in cotton chintz, the Graham is stunning with bare legs, more sedate with trousers and lightweight for warmer days.

Description

This umbrella may make you feel like you are living on your own planet, but it seems guaranteed to keep you dry even in a gusty downpour. It also collapses into an unobtrusive shape. My question is: can you put it up and on in a hurry ?

Pendleton Woolen Mills: Buttons-and-Bows Jacket

First to recommend

Description

The oversized silver buttons on the double-breasted front and back tab make this little jacket shine. The additional bow detailing and full lining will keep you reaching for it all spring long.
