Burberry Prorsum Duffle Pouch: Things I Want

Watching the livestream of Burberry Prorsum's Spring '14 show, I was taken with the small leather pouches the models carried. Simple and functional and in a range of bright colors.

Since under-the-arm portfolios have been a thing the past few seasons, I liked the versatility of these bags: to carry your lunch, as a dopp kit, or just throw in your phone and daily essentials.

I've been waiting for these to hit retail... and today I found them available on Burberry's site. They are available in a variety of colors -- although I'd been eyeing the yellow, and what was shown on the runway translated into a less bright and more mustard color in production.

But the green is nice + bright and will be an awesome accessory for Spring... once I actually buy it, that is.

Burberry Prorsum F/W 2012: Things I Love

The Burberry Prorsum Fall '12 show occurred a few days ago, but I can't get it out of my head! Christopher Bailey and team outdid themselves with an incredibly strong collection that uses the brand's strengths (coats and suiting) and complements it with some whimsy in the form of patterned knits and colorful accessories.

I love it all. So it took a lot of editing to select my favorite looks, but here they are...

Slightly obsessed with this sweater -- the horizontal stripes up top, and the differently colored solid below.

Another outstanding knit for those of us who like color and a little bit of fun... and I really like the loose neckline. This is top of my list come Fall (I'll leave the matching bag at home...)!

The quilting on the body of the jacket stood out and the color is so rich, it caught my eye, especially when styled with another loosely worn sweater underneath.

The slim tailoring on this jacket is perfect for guys like me! I'm totally in on this whole look -- most especially that incredible bag he is carrying. Definitely more of a Fall ensemble, but one that I can get behind.
