Surely it is shear lust, errm I mean sheer lust that has me drooling about shearling outerwear when my mind should be on all things spring!

Shearling made an appearance in a number of autumn winter 2010 -2011 collections. Two of my favourites were Topshop Unique and Burberry Prorsum. Unique’s anorak coats with shearling collars are reminiscent of one of my childhood winter coats.

Meanwhile over at Burberry Prorsum, Christopher Bailey’s execution of his reversed shearling bomber jackets was impeccable.

I know it’s only March and yes I know it only just got a bit warmer but with coats that brilliant, you cannot blame a girl for wishing winter 2010 would hurry up along.
