The Burberry outlet where I live, 10 minutes from Orlando and just a mile from Walt Disney World, is part of an upscale outlet mall where you will find last season's bags, shoes, and clothes for a lot less than retail. If you are lucky enough to live near such an outlet store, then there is no reason why you shouldn't be shopping there. On my last trip, I found a few bags for at least 50% off what I would have had to pay for the same item at a retail store.

Burberry Fall 2009 Ready-to-Wear Collection

Burberry is the epitome of quality, style and innovation with a dash of British flare. What I admire most about Burberry is their rich tradition, combined with an unwavering attitude towards maintaining the highest craftsmanship. Their men's and women's outerwear, anchored by the trench coat, is second to none. When you've been providing practical modern garments for over 150 years, like Burberry has, I guess you do tend to get pretty good at it. I'll remain a loyal fan of Burberry, but surprisingly not because of their the flaunty check pattern, just their actual designs and craftsmanship.

The first time I visited a Burberry outlet was in 2004 and I have been hooked ever since. Instead of paying full price, I can think of nothing more fun than going on a road trip through the beautiful countryside, and taking a day out of my vacation to poke around the malls. One of these days I'll have saved up enough money to book a flight to Italy and shop at The Mall (imagine Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Valentino, Armani...YSL all under one roof). What I find will be a few seasons old, but who cares, a good style is timeless. In the meantime, if you'd be satisfied checking out a Burberry outlet store stateside, there are several locations for you to choose from:

Fashion Outlets - Las Vega, NV and Niagra, NY

Chelsea Premium Outlets - This upscale outlet shopping chain has Burberry stores in various locations across the country, exact locations can be found by visiting the Premium Outlets website.

Prime Outlets - Williamsburg, VA

Katherine Heigl is tall, curvy, blond and beautiful. I'm tall (with the heels), not-as-curvy, dirty blond, and beautiful (at least thats what my SO) tells me. So why shouldn't I try to emulate Katherine's style? It's not that hard because this girl just wears what works with her body. Now here I am, having to decide what to wear. It's either my grey pencil dress or my black burberry wrap dress...Geez louise, I love you guys. You're always there for me when I need you the most. It doesn't really matter what I pick, since your both so hot. And let me tell you, it will make guys want to drop trou for me....I'm just kidding of course. I'm not that kind of girl.
