For some it’s Gucci. For others, Prada. But for me, it’s Burberry. I never used to be a big designer person, but after holding a couple Coach bags and eventually moving on to Dooney & Bourkes, I started to shift my eye towards a more elegant, yet young, design. The love of Burberry runs in my family; I’ve always seen my mom wear a chic raincoat and my father had a scarf during the winters. I went from being neutral about it, to liking it, to LOVING it. And now, I’m obsessed!

Did you see the latest Burberry advertising campaign? They are using 18-year-old Emma Watson as their feature and a couple of boys that look like they are twelve! Okay, Emma does look beautiful and the Burberry brand stands her well, but what’s with the boys? It looks like a cheesy, wanna-be grown up photograph and I’m not buying it!

Other than their recent decision to turn to teens for their advertisements, my love for Burberry has not changed. Here is my latest wish list:

Love love love the nova check! This design is more of a modern look and the stripes are bigger compared to the older patterns. I was never a fan of BIG bags, I just don’t understand what women have to carry all the time! All I need is my wallet, keys, phone and chapstick and this is the perfect size for my needs. So if I need to carry additional items like a  book, make up bag, snacks, and a puppy, I might consider getting something a little bigger…

The black and white nova check design is also one of my favorites, and kind of has a wintery feel for it. I prefer bigger wallets than the smaller ID ones, I just feel like I have more space  in them and don’t feel so cramped when I open it. Organization is key for me, so knowing exactly where everything is is vital! Who wouldn’t want to keep a nice oranized wallet when you’re carrying around something so chic around with you everyday!

This navy-blue dress screams out  elegance to me, a must-have for a sophisticated woman who has a sense in style. I’m debating whether this is a spring look for a fall look… I guess you could wear it both ways depending on what kind of shoes you wear . It would look really cute with a pair of knee-length, heeled boots for the winter, and some strapped heels for the warmer days. I would finish this look with a set of pearl earrings and necklace, and probably wear my hair in an updo to create that sophistication style in me. The belt above the waist is a great way to look taller for us petite women as it makes your torso look smaller. It also adds length to your legs and creates a leaner look. A great design by Burberry, and definitely high on my wish-list!

A modern look for a sophisticated woman!
