As I was looking through the most recent posts, I realized I have put up almost all dark-colored clothing in the last week or so! It must be this cold winter weather that’s getting to me or something. Anyway, in an effort to bring some more color to your screen, here’s a beautiful red blouson top by Ports 1961. This is one of those pieces that looks good on everyone because of its naturally loose cut. The cinching at the waist balances the boat neck and gives you a nice shape. And then there’s the lovely, drapey deep V at the back – so simple and elegant!

Batwing sleeves

Zappos.com describes this men’s coat as “dashing” and I think that’s just the right word. There aren’t many men’s coats out there that are both stylish and dapper, but this one definitely fits into both categories.

Adjustable belt at the neck

Double loops accent each shoulder

Long sleeves

Adjustable belts at waist and wrists

Side flap pockets accented with a single inverted pleat

Here’s a piece from C’N'C Costume National that will add some sparkle and and pizzazz to some of your outfits. It’s a simple scoopneck sleeveless top with a metallic brush print throughout.

Originally designed in Scotland, made for Kings and Queens, Hunter boots are the hottest rain boots in the city.  Hunter boots are not only beautiful, they are very practical too.  They’re not heavy! Only weighing about a pound each; they are considerably lighter than other rain boots.  You know what I’m talking about, I bet you have a pair of rubber rain boots that weigh so much you dread wearing them.  With these, you’re gonna wish it rains every day! Ok, maybe not, but these boots will cheer you up when it’s rainy or snowy out.  Speaking of snow, the traction on these suckers are amazing too!  Check out the alternate pictures on the Zappos.com page.

The “Festival” are more couture than the regular Hunter boots as they have a stripped detail on the outside buckle that matches the inside lining of the boots. In case you don’t know about the rich history of Hunter, here is what they have to say about themselves:

Royal Warrants

Over the years, Hunter has received much recognition, but particular pride is taken in The Royal Warrants of Appointment as suppliers of waterproof footwear to HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh.

Royal Warrants are a mark of recognition to people or companies who have regularly supplied goods or services for at least five years to certain members of the Royal Family. They have always been regarded as a mark of excellence and quality, and are highly prized.

The Royal Warrant is recognition of personal service to the highest order. It is granted to a named individual within the company who is then responsible for ensuring that the Warrant is correctly used.

Get these from Zappos.com, one of the premium online retailers that sell only authentic goods.
