Jacket, Dress, Bag – Coach SS16.
Had I known micro-trips is to be the running theme of January, I’d have at least nabbed some tiny stocking-filler toothbrush & toothpaste sets and kept some advent calendar chocolate aside over the holidays. The thing about these overnight stints is that it puts you in somewhat of grey area of ‘purposelessness’, because you decide it is too short of a trip to take your usual ‘purposefulness’ kit which helps you be productive, if not be entertained. So you end up sitting in that window-seat like a potato, thinking of potato things.
One thing I did notice: shorter the trips, smaller the carry-on handbag. Passports come out their elaborate, monogrammed, multi-pocketed travel wallets and into a coat pocket; same with ticket stubs and any other paperly goods – dog-eared and unidentifiable by the tenth time Ryanair checks that you are indeed you. Cue the Saddle Bag, key player for Coach Spring16 collection and a nod to the classic design from the archives, just in time for the brand’s 75th anniversary. The smaller size (Saddle 23 – £325) got me through a 22h stint in Florence just last week: big enough to scrunch in a silk blouse I scored at a vintage shop off the beaten track, and perfectly concise enough to enjoy a brief-but-glorious moment in the Italian sun.

Lovely pictures! I am a big fan of short stints as they offer mini recharge trips through out the year when you are too busy to go on long trips.

I’m not sure about that dinosaur top but the skirt is gorgeous.
I also favour the dino jumper, reminds me of a dino tee I wore with a grey leather skirt ages ago. Although my tee was from Sainsburys boys dept. ;-)
Oh dear Florence I heart you….
Nice pictures. Blue navy and brown leather skirt are perfect match.
Great photos & looks :)
