Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my birthday! If I could buy anything that I have featured on Vintage Brand New it would be this.

Jones New York Faux Fur Coat from Lord and Taylor

$330.00 Retail Price

 This coat would be perfect for celebrating New Years in luxurious style.

I stopped by my local Lord and Taylor and tried it on. The medium fit me like a dream! I bought it (online because I forgot to bring my L&T printed coupon). It was 50% off and they have a THANKS coupon code for an extra 20% off PLUS anything over $99 had free shipping. So I ended up only paying $132 instead of $330 which was a bargain.

I can't wait to get this coat in the mail!

Faux Fur Grey Coat

Jones New York Faux Fur Walker Coat  

- $330.00 (sale price $198.00)

I love it in old movies when a young woman is struggling to make ends meet but still pines for a fur coat. They often times buy it or put it on layaway even though it's cost is the equivalent of a month's salary. It was such a treasured luxury.

Like smoking, fur was much more glamorous back in the early part of the 20th century than it is now. I would never wear real fur but I would love to buy a faux fur coat like this one! It looks both luxurious and comfortable.
