The punchline here, is CAMEL. As in color, as in textile. Camel hair wool is an enduring fabric. I love the richness of its color- the beige has lots of yellow, and is one of the few beiges that doesn't drain the color from my olive skin tone. I think it looks classy, and have always wanted a great camel hair coat. I think I've finally found mine. This is a glorious beast of a coat, an oversize vintage wool coat with an opulent satin lining. It's loose fitting and big, and I love the detail in the back, that curve of the back belt- so insouciant and elegant, if you ask me.
The great thing about classics is that they look good no matter what era you're wearing them. This vintage coat is from the 1950s, but looks so fresh and modern still, very Celine, very Phoebe Philo's Chloe, circa 2010, with the clean lines, slouchy cut and simple but strong detailing of the offset big buttons in front, the swoop of a belt in the back.

It would definitely be harder than getting a camel through the eye of a needle, than to get me captured by the likes of Mr. Oliveria, or a Phil Oh, Wayne Tippets or thee Bill Cunningham, but a girl wearing a classic coat in camel hair, can definitely dream.

Very classic looking. By the way..those shoes are hot. Love them.

Oh, I remember my Grandmother wore such a similar coat with extra large buttons in my very early ages. Might it be camel?
A really class piece!
Nice coat and shoes. I like how you mix conventional and eclectic pieces. Keeps it interesting.

I am a forever fan of camel. There's something definitely timeless about it.
Ooh, the coat is beautiful, Bella! I have always always always wanted one as I agree with you: they're forever classic and look so luxe. Alas, I've never found one that suits me that doesn't cost a mint. :) xoxo
such a great classic piece, and you rock it with your fabulousness!, I'm not a huge fan of beiges, but this camel shade seems very appealing and elegant!, love your shoes and dress, such a retro-funky style!
besos
Gorgeous coat, love it with the dress, shades, ring, and shoes - beautifully put together!
Camel really suits you, Bella, you look so glamorous in that gorgeous coat! Plus I'm crazy about your ring, it's so unique and beautiful, just like you!
Love your vintage coat! I almost bought a beautiful camel hair coat the other day, but it was just a hair too short in the sleeve. I'm on the lookout for a camel colored cashmere coat, because i have wool allergies, but I haven't found it yet. Nor do I need it really. It's pretty warm here most of the time! Regardless Bella you look fabulous!
Very cool coat indeed! I always wanted a camel coat, xxx
Super cool in camel hair coat. Hermosissima!
