I will be honest and admit that this post started from that first image. I loved it so much that I simply had to build up a post around it. The power a photography has, how it triggers our imagination, the stories it weaves in a matter of seconds. The bow in the hair, the gold jewelry, the warm background and the light in the photo made me think of the holiday season that is almost upon us. A season and a Burberry coat that will always have something in common: tradition. Because isn’t this what the holidays are about? Returning to traditions, to your roots, reuniting with your dear ones and finding strength to move forward. Just as the House of Burberry does: drawing inspiration from its century-old heritage, Christopher Bailey constantly reinvents its classic styles and makes the traditional British brand fashion-forward. After all, ‘Prorsum’ means forwards, doesn’t it?

What a cute jacket – like those fasteners.
Tradition is always nearer during the holiday season…
Have a nice day,
Helen:)
PS: did I tell you how much I Enjoyed yr link to The Client! Just adored it….
The first photo is gorgeous, darling. x
What you wrote is so true Ada: we are inspired by traditions all the time and in every field. And the example of Burberry is perfect to picture a very classic label that has been able to reinvent itself season after season. Thank you for the previous post on layering: I think it’s one of my favourite way of styling clothes! Have a great week!
Hi Ada, its magic how one image can make you picture a sea of related things, presenting a whole feeling to you. Beautiful collage, traditions and winter are certainly there. The bow hair jewelry is so lovely!
Hi, Christel. So nice to hear from you. Hope you are fine and that all your projects are going well.
I have been so impressed by the reinvention of Burberry over the years. The great British classic is now one of my favourites! I love these images you chose! x
And the result is a orgeous post! I want that fabulous Burberry coat.
Oh, Ada, I was so impressed by the coat, that I forgot to whish you a wonderful weekend.

…sorry, I mean “week”.
:-)))))
You are so right !!! I am all about tradition this time of the year.
I like the coat very much and not only for the yellow or for the tailoring, but that type of closing it. I think it has a name, but I don’t know it! Help?
Loving this Ada and you are so right on the photography.
Have a beautiful day. xx
Wow just love the yellow and black together! So pretty.
A beautiful post Ada. Such lovely imagery and feeling of tradition and christmas, which is why I just simply adore this time of year. Have a great week. x
Your description gave me chills! Truly a classic print, and I can see why the image affected you so.
Loving the black and yellow together!
