Packing Essentials: Trench Coat season is coming

What’s the weather like when you look outside your window? Sunny? Windy? Rain? Or maybe all of the above? Living in Berlin I’m voting for the latter and from experience I know that places like London, Prague or New York are similar around this time of year. It is hence a good idea to choose your wardrobe carefully when traveling this season. Personally, I am rooting for the trench coat – a timeless and internationally acknowledged all-rounder that keep you dry when it’s raining and warm on chilly spring or fall nights.

These days I am running up and down the high street to find the perfect trench coat (that is not from Burberry costing 1000-something Euros) and so far I haven’t quite found the perfect one. To help you and me deciding, I’ve made a little collection introducing some of my favorite models found online.

Budget: below $55

1. This pretty classic and straightforward look costs only $48 and is available at Forever21
2. This eye-yatchereven by Steve Madden comes with a hood (perfect in the rain) – at Nordstrom for $49
3. If you like it classic beige, I’m quite in love with this classy-looking coat by Forever21 for £55

Middle class: from $55 to $100

1.  Liking color? This pale green coat has just that and is available at Asos for $59
2. With a generous neckline leaving loads of space for flashy jewellery or patterned scarfs, this trench coats comes for $90 at Missguided
3. Possibly my favorite trench out of this selection is this lightweight draped coat, and affordable $70 on Urban Outfitters

Top notch: from $100 to $200

1. If you like it black I found this gorgeous, woven trench from Asos for $171
2. I love the sophistication and style behind this elegant pinkish trench coat – at Forever21 for $141
3. Finally,  lovely summery light option that will look good with any dress is the Dolman Sleeve Trench from Urban Outfitters for $149

I have found a favorite or two, I hope you’ve been inspired as well.

Do you travel with a trench coat yourself? Which one is your favorite?

How Cruise Lines Help Preserve Our Planet

Image
By: Susan Hanson Cruise lines and environmentally focused groups unite to celebrate and protect our planet. Greening the Galápagos Santa Cruz Island’s lush cloud forest is home to the largest of 15 Scalesia species found in the Galápagos. These native trees and shrubs, which provide sanctuary to numerous types of endemic birds, are often compared to Darwin’s finches for their remarkable adaptability to the archipelago’s different vegetation zones. Scalesia are among the 30,000-plus seedlings planted in Santa Cruz’s Los Gemelos highlands as part of an ongoing collaborative effort between Celebrity Cruises and Galápagos National Park. Celebrity passengers and crew members alike have taken part in the reforestation project, which aims to restore  areas affected by humans and invasive plants. Their enthusiasm and hard work have helped the program exceed its initial goal by 150 percent so far. A tree grows in the Galápagos. Photo by Celebrity Cruises. Music of the Sphere A...

Here’s a taster of what different nationalities around the world eat first thing to get them going for the day. There’s some pretty random shizzle in here! 10. Natto (Japan) Fermented soy beans are classed as a delicacy in Japan and if you can get over the pungent cheesy smell, strong flavour and slimy mucus-like texture they are very good for you. Natto is perfectly nutritious being high, in fibre with zero cholesterol, which means you can have more! Mmm yummy. 9. Hagelslag (The Netherlands) These popular sprinkles (translated as hailstorm) come in a variety of shapes, sizes and flavours, including fruit and chocolate. Not only to be enjoyed on ice cream, the Dutch and Belgians actually put them on buttered bread and toast! Not particularly nutritious but a great way to start the day on a sugar high. 8. Churros (Spain) Nothing beats churros and hot chocolate when ...
