Great White Coat

I LOVE this coat - a recent New York purchase. It was one of those sample sale deals that would have cost a fortune otherwise. This is one of the things that I realy love about New York fashion - you can get the top Italian and French designers on your terms -- sometimes that is.

As a New Englander who also lived in England for a stint, you find yourself often asking how / where to wear any fabulous find in Silicon Valley? It's not as if the culture is so humid and hot that it makes sense for the society to push fashion aside in favor of shorts, t-shirts and an air conditioner. So, what is it? Is Nick Denton's five year old blog post about the city really that true?
