Zurich, Anyone?

Picture 8 This coat makes me wish I had pressing business to tend to in Zurich. My inner Jason Bourne wants to set up a Swiss bank account simply to have an excuse to wear this shearling-lined coat. Admittedly, this is the very first time I've seen anything shearling that I felt I needed. Picture 21
But if we're going all "operation Treadstone" we might as well go for the drama of full length (after all, trained assassins never wear J. Crew. c'mon!). Which means that this Burberry gets my vote. Picture 23 Picture 24 However... the more I think about it, I'll need to be braced for a quick getaway. That means I'll need a shorter coat. Something I can run in to evade the authorities and evildoers. This Armani or this Prada should do the trick. (The prada being better suited to blending into crowds...but its longer length gives me pause).  Add skinny black pants, knee-high leather boots, huge sunglasses and a black X-Type Jag and I'm all set.  Picture 29 Once you're a safe distance from the action, enjoying your espresso in some dark tucked away cafe miles from Geneva, you can vamp it up in this McQueen biker jacket. Hiding smiling eyes behind your big shades. At least... that's how I'd play it.

What the beautiful people are saying...

Love the J.Crew one... I think the color is gorgeous!

I like it too! Really inspired my entire post. However I should warn you it is $2500 for the j. crew jacket! :)

OMG how could we pick just one! We'll take all of them please :)

Something to say, gorgeous?
