Max Mara Atelier: Fall/Winter 2012 collection

Dress coat with travel pillow collar in goose down, kimono sleeves with maxi cuffs



Linear egg-shaped frequent flyer coat in pure double face cashmere, with matching small bon ton mink collar

MaxMara Atelier is a special project focusing on the coat. The above coats are my least and most favorite from the Fall/Winter 2012 collection.  In that order.

Pillows and Woodbury Commons

I just got an email from a long-lost (well not that long, but somewhat out of touch) friend, who just became reacquainted with Guerilla Shopper: THE BLOG. She gave me a couple of good tips for today:

My friend makes some really nice pillows. If you want to have a look, go to http://www.sylvie-pillows.com/events

I went to Woodbury Outlet for midnight madness/black Friday, I thought all of this was a legend but No!!!I scored two good deals though: Longchamp leather travel bag for $320 (tax included), retail price $900/$1000 and a really nice max mara coat for $600. The worst was to come, we took the bus back at 3h20am and arrived home a 6h45am...what a ride!
