TREND ITEM : THE MILITARY JACKET

At the end of summer I love shopping around for a new jacket in anticipation of a cold Winter (even though Brisbane weather always does it's best to stall me). This year I've got my eye out for a military coat à la Balmain's Fall 2009 runway. Fingers crossed March 1 will bring with it some chilly days...
