My little secret

I kind of really miss Burberry.  Absolutely not the people I last worked with, but I loved the knowledge I gained of that realm in the fashion industry.  I worked at the store for two years (ending a year ago today actually) and can still tell you what most of the quilted jackets are made out of, what the accurate price of each item should be (and not the hiked up prices on eBay), and what season something was made.  More than all that, I miss my discount.  Working at a high-end retail store has its perks, but also its many, MANY irritating customers who think they are entitled to the world.  ESPECIALLY in Houston, where we have oil-rich families and older River Oaks families.  Anyway, I wanted to say that I really like their new prorsum Autumn line (it's much better than their "Warrior" phase of 2 years ago):

I also really like that they're using Emma Watson for their campaign now.  I think she's so pretty, and she does not look deathly ill like so many of their other models.  

Anyway, it's doubtful that I'll ever shop at Burberry again unless I really make it big as an attorney in Houston.  That's fine with me anyway, my wardrobe and accessories are pretty stocked with miscellaneous Burberry items (ranging from towels to lingerie to umbrellas, even candles!).  But I still sometimes miss knowing everything about the company and being one of the only people in my store who actually cared enough to learn about the industry.  Maybe I'll go back and be a corporate attorney for them :)

I also know that most people do not enjoy the Burberry print and think it's highly overrated and overpriced (which is entirely true), but its fun to know the background of something. Ask my old roomie, I used to have the Burberry timeline on our refrigerator in college!
