Simply Bliss Beauty Diary: trench

The Burberry Trench coat has always been something I've wanted. But, not only does it cost a lot, it's hard to find one that would fit me because I'm that tiny. I really like the Burberry's wool trench coat with frilled hem worn by Kate Middleton. That hem really gives it a feminine touch. You may wonder, how on Earth did this $1352 Trench coat end up in this fashion for less blog. Well, they went on sale for $947 in Lyst. Of course, it sold out in a heart beat. Here's an even cheaper alternative, the Banana Republic Flare Trench. Petite girls, we are in luck. Banana Republic did a really good job on this jacket to fit petites like a glove! And brownie points to getting it 50% off!

A lot of people said the belt was too long on the reviews so I wanted to show you how long it really is! But, I like it this long because it allows me to tie a bow in the front when I button up the jacket and in the back when I keep the jacket open.

I really love this Kate Spade bag. It is extremely functional and light weight. It carries my laptop, and whatever I buy when I go shopping so I don't need to carry an extra recyclable shopping bag or pay extra for a bag. It has three compartments (just like this bag) and the material is perfect for me because it's hard to scratch. My bags tend to hit things around me and they tend to leave a mark when it's the boarskin leather material that I absolutely adore. But, this bag probably have hit doors, cars, shelves, hangers, and not a single sign of use. LOVE!
