MAVEN PICKS: Burberry does Classic with a Twist

Happy Thursday, everyone. Glorious day in the MIA. Very pleased that the
hazy summer has left us. Bring on the gorgeousness.

Writing about Cathie Black yesterday has me thinking about switching things
up- sometimes you may not want a big sweeping change like a career move or a
stint in the peace corps, but you can make small changes in my favorite way
possible, through fashion. It's the little things, really.

A couple of people sent me photos of the latest offering of Burberry, in
which we get the classic trench, retooled with studs at the collar. You may
be a classic type who has worn your trench faithfully through the years, but
maybe it's time for a bit of a rethink to channel your tougher side.
Personally, I am obsessed with clothes that are timeless but have an element
of edge, and this my friends, fits the bill. So if you're not quite ready
for a seismic shift in your lifestyle, this coat may do just the trick. It's
all about reinvention, however you can get it- big, small, or studded. Cause
that's what's up this thoughtful Thursday in the MIA. XO

(Oh and maybe you're feeling crafty and want to put some spikes or studs on
your classic tees or blazers yourself. A bit of DIY is also a great way to
switch things up and is less spendy for sure. Go forth and make something,
it's good for the soul).
