Wishlist: Vintage Hermes Horse Head Ring

It's only very recently that I discovered that select Club Monaco stores display and sell carefully curated one-of-a-kind vintage pieces (I had seen these displays before, but always assume they were for viewing only). While in one of said stores today, I came across a delicate gold-tone Hermes horse head ring with exquisite detailing. Since this afternoon, I have been thinking non-stop about this ring (quick research tells me this is likely circa 1970s) and how unique it is. It's almost enough to prompt a repeat trip back to the store tomorrow just to try this on.

Starts with a sweater coat...

Mother Nature was deceptively cooperative this weekend by bringing Spring-like temperatures. It was the perfect opportunity to bring out one of my long-favourite pieces, a draped collar sweater coat. I started by adding a belt in the morning to dress-up for a brunch date and then left it open and more relaxed for an afternoon of running errands. 

I paired my sweater coat with my go-to faux leather leggings and stacked black and gold accessories, which helped add a bit of edginess to an otherwise very feminine and laid-back look.

 There is truly nothing as versatile and timeless as a well-made sweater coat. This particular version has an oversized draped collar, which provides dimension and movement and has lent itself well to being reinvented and worn again and again over the years.

What items in your wardrobe do you find yourself reaching for time and time again?
