Winter Weekend Away

Posted Friday, January 12, 2007 at 02:25PM

You’re running up to San Francisco, going down to San Diego, heading east to Manhattan, you’re jetsetting somewhere for a fast three days of away play.

Your K’s jealous.

And determined you put that fleece sleeping bag of a coat down, and learn how to pack boss lady things tight like a dude.

We’ll start with Floto Imports Venezia duffle, your carry-on, carry-all. Rugged leather in a sleeky chic design, it’s:

A. “So… Indiana Jones meets Katherine Hepburn a la African Queen,” says our own Aunt Beep

B. ” A classic leather duffle!” says Princess. ” ‘Venezia Duffle is hand made in Tuscany using Italian polished calf-skin leather and old world craft methods.’ “

C. “Mmm, soft supple leather,” says Tranism. “This might become my next man-bag.”

D. “A cool bag and it’s perfect for a weekend escape,” says designer Joe Floto. “I take mine everywhere and the more I toss it around the better it looks.” 

Hmm, E? All of the above?

Next we’ll get a you coat you can rock from daytime to nighttime playtime, like this Casche coat, which’ll vibe just as right over jeans and - dare I? - flats, or your littlest black dress and tallest heels. All clean cool lines ready to warm you from your chin to your ankles - 

“I covet this like nobody’s business,” says Miss Fifi. “I swear I think I could transform into Greta Garbo wearing it.”

I swear I belive you, doll, because our own Alyson, who owns it, says, “As sharp as it is buttoned up, when left open, the lapels create a gorgeous line. The first time I tried this garment on its drape actually made me gasp. Charming enough to inspire a Venice girl (who only enjoys about nine days of winter) to take it home.”

So now you’ve got a coat to snuggle up in, to begin and end your weekend in. Next you’ll rock some boots from your winter weekend getaway’s start to end. Giuseppe Zanotti cut-out thigh high boots might prove a little impractical if you’re not a girl named Kristopher, maybe these Shoe Shop.com - 150 555 are more pratical luxe, though -

“These aren’t your M.O.R. looking brand of shoes,” says Miss Hoax. “And these boots are too cool to pass up. a little on the subversive side, but also a lot sexy, these harlot boots are avant-garde enough to set you apart from all the other girls. That is what we’re aiming for, right?” 

Right, doll, though you and I don’t have to hustle too hard for that.  Even a comfy chic sweater dress or Mike and Chris hoodie dress from Girlshop will set us apart. Roll up and pack a few frocks like these, and you’re set - slip them over jeans for cool days, rock them alone with tights for chill nights, which you may already have, as -

Black tights are a fashion staple,” says Fashion Legwear blog. “They look good with almost any outfit, casual or dressy, as seen below. And of course because they’re black, they’re slimming, which is always a plus!”

Of course. And which pair would you recommend, doll?

“For a completely opaque look, and extra warmth, I would recommend Danielle Soft Merino Wool Tights.”

Perfect, thanks.
