I love trench coats, therefore, I love the ultimate classic, Burberry. I pined for them from afar, but had convinced myself they would be too big.

Burberry runs pretty small…and if you buy from a Burberry boutique, the alterations are FREE! Getting my coat altered was a wonderful experience with the luxury brand…

I’ve been trying to get my hands on a Burberry petite coat for a while now…but those things sell out fast! Not sold in Burberry boutiques, but only in high end department stores like Nordstrom and Bloomingdales, these things are in short supply, and the smallest sizes usually sell out immediately. I figured since regular sized Burberry coats can be a close fit for petites, I figured a Burberry coat made specifically for petite women …

Petite Burberry lovers, I have exciting news for you. It’s size US0! Fellow Burberry fan Jean and I have been chatting about this on Twitter for a few weeks now, so I decided to do a little detective work. As some of you may know, I own two Burberry trench coats. One is the Harbourne style, and the other is the Ledstone, both in size 2 and altered down to fit. Some styles fit smaller than others, and after alterations, the size 2 coats hav…

…Beautiful dramatic coats! I want a wardrobe full of ‘em! But my poor coats languish away in a closet for most of the year, while the sun shines in SoCal at a comfortable 75 degrees. I don’t get to wear my lovely Burberry beauties very often…so I’ve been strutting the rainy streets of SoCal like a runway the last few days. I’m in heaven! This outfit is so easy…it’s almost cheating. The Burberry Ledsto…

…ress is unlined, it should be a fairly easy alteration, but perhaps a bit pricey. Fun printed piping runs along the inside. Since the fall chill is slowly creeping into the air, I couldn’t resist pulling out my trusty Burberry trench to see how it looks over the dress. Here, I used an adorable puppy named Clinton to finish off the look. Trѐs chic, hmm? Despite the need for alterations on my freakishly tiny self, I really do like the dr…
