Badass Bitches in Burberry Bombers!

I've been obsessing over shearlings for years, ever since Balenciaga's cropped shearling in FW03! Maury tells me I got a "Fiebre" which means "Fever" in english. And dam right I got the shearling fever. I was not gonna stop til that fever was gone!


A few years ago I bought my husband a custom-made sheepskin by Pat Garrett at www.sickafus.com for his birthday. It was amazing and I was so jealous!  So when Christopher Bailey debuted his fall10 collection I almost died, as I'm sure most of you did..Fast forward to today, I finally found the perfect aviator without breaking the bank. Turns out Balenciaga knocked off this original aviator below in his FW03 collection..what luck!

On the left is my ebay shearling and on the right is the Balenciaga FW03 version, which was on ebay earlier this year (I was outbid :-( lol) There similarities are shocking.. from the color and patching to the single front pocket. The only difference is that my jacket is not cropped nor as fitted, but still, I was on cloud 9 when I won it!

Needless to say I'm super hyped about my shearling! and couldn't beat if for the ebay price either.
Now the question is, is this too heavy of a coat to take to London & Paris end of this month? Really need your help guys!!


xoxo!
