On My Radar
Bits & Bobs
I’ve had my eye on this Dior trench since it came down the runway. However, I have a similar Bottega trench that I cherish and wear all the time. Would this be considered a double? Mine isn’t belted, which makes the Dior different enough in my view. The Oceans by Chris Burkard and the brilliant art director Ezra Petronio’s Visual Thinking & Image Making are my two new books of inspiration. I love but don’t need this Saint Laurent Downtown Tote. I’m just going to keep telling myself that.

Why not have two trench coats to choose from in your closet?!
Hah! Now there’s an idea! Thanks, Judy.
Hahah – I LOVE your trench rationalization! There is always room for another coat – for much of the year it is the only part of your outfit many people see! And always appreciate your book recommendations.
The YSL downtown purse was the first “good” bag I bought myself….years ago. I loved it. Great design on the tote.
The is the second time you’ve mentioned this Dior coat. I think you should go for it.
I also have two trenches and I’m not being an enabler, I truly believe it’s useful to have one black and one khaki. Thank you as always for the book recommendation.
Regarding the trench, have you tried it on? I have found many times that something I thought was fabulous just wasn’t once I had it on. 🙂
Although I just love outerwear myself, a trench is so specific, because all trenches are so similar, that I can’t really imagine having two in my closet.
Third thought, the oversized flap could either make a woman look short or accentuate a bust. I’m interested to hear your thoughts when you try it on.
Preston, the Dior is perfect. You won’t regret getting it, it’s so timeless. I can see it with jeans, patent flat and a beautiful white silk blouse… get it!

The Downtown is probably my all time favorite bag. I still have my original on in elephant grey that I absolutely destroyed. I may have to re-invest,
