In the trenches...

It usually downpours in in April, and by May, there are flowers and tree buds galore. But this May, here in NY, that's not quite the case! A few weeks back friends of mine at work deliberated about making an "essential" and "timeless" investment... the Burberry trench.

I didn't post about it right away because at the time, I'll admit, I was a skeptic. Why drop that much money on something you'll wear only a few times a year? My thoughts were, "I'll give you $30 to buy a trench at H&M. Spend the money you would have spent on the trench on a pair of delicious Christian Louboutin's, instead." At least you don't have to take those off when you're out cuttin' a rug!

But we're 21 days into May and the rain hasn't stopped. And now I'm starting to think that the Burberry trench might be a wise purchase after all.

Only thing is, Christine and Joie are all talk. They're too busy buying sun dresses and beach cover-up's. One goes off to Anguilla, and the other takes off for Puerto Rico, and I am left in rainy New York blogging about something they will likely never buy.

Christine $1,295





















Joie $1,695
