Penny Lane, the character in almost famous charmed me with her style and verve and her fabulous shearling coat. I read an interesting article in Elle about the costume design - and this coat was Penny Lane's armour...such a nice way to think of a coat providing protection.

I acquired this coat 14 years ago, and once the weather cools down, I do like to wear it for a bit of a rock and roll vibe. I wore this outfit last weekend. It really makes the outfit - which is otherwise a t shirt, jeans and boots combination.

So, do you have a character, real or fictional that has inspired you in some way?
