I've been on the hunt for the perfect trench for, oh, just about an eternity now. My requirements? It has to put a modern twist on the classic and be ready for puddle jumping at a moment’s notice. So imagine my delight to discover this one from Gap that not only fits the bill but also has a swingy, playful shape and a punchy yellow lining!
But the best part? This kicky little number is just the beginning! The Rue team is super excited to be working with Gap and four other awesome sites (seriously, can't believe we're in their company!) on a new initiative called Styld.by--an online catalog full of style inspiration for spring and beyond. Check out Styld.by for the full scoop and stay tuned for more!

I agree that a trench coat should be fun and unique - it's way more fun to have a classic that people can't help but to ask you about! The shape of the coat is almost like a capelet - it's sooo cute!

Local heroes were big deals to newspapers back then, and my sports editor, Bob Lenard, had a standing order with Carter, who had skyrocketed out of Sunny Hills High to major league success with the Expos.
