Or is it - platinum is the colour of platinum? Either way, this post really isn't about platinum anyway, though I wish it is! It is about loving my newest pea coat from United Colors of Benetton! As some of you may recall, I had to unfortunately return a recently purchased wool coat at UCB as the fibers started piling a lot that it aging the item rather quickly. The staff at the store, especially the sweet and chic Lasha has been fantastic and has provided me this pea coat in exchange, how brilliant is that?
This is my first time wearing it and I can tell that this is going to get a lot of cameo role here at Twenty York Street! Thank you again Lasha, you have been incredibly helpful every single time!
On another note, I am boarding my train in half an hour to go back to Montréal! But before I go, I want to send my warmest greetings to someone who is celebrating a special occasion. She is one strong, confident, generous, thoughtful, talented and absolutely hard working woman and without her, I wouldn't be here today. Thank you for everything and...
Happy, Happy Birthday Mother! We wish you all the best in life as you more than deserve it!
Maligayang Bati Nanay!

Cute coat! That is great customer service... I wish all places were like that. Not just clothes either.
Today I went to Tim Hortons and asked for a tea with sugar. The girl grudgingly made it and then handed me the scalding cup. I asked for a second cup and she threw it at me. Haha, more reasons to be thankful for nice service?
Anyways, I'm on the search for a new winter coat this year too. Here's hoping something comes up.

I love the coat - while it doesn't have the colour of the other coat, this one has a fabulous 60s feel to it!
Very lovely coat and colour. Is it lined to keep you toasty warm despite the winter coldspells in Ottawa? :)
That is one lovely, lovely coat! How sweet you paid tribute to the person who helped you at Benetton and - especially - your mother! (Seeing the sweet messagae you wrote, I wish I understood more languages...is it Tagolog maybe? My mother's family has roots in the Philippines but I sadly never learnt the language! Now I'm just a tired old woman too hopeless to learn ;)). Safe and speedy travels!

Sounds weird, But it's a nice shade of grey. It's not a sad type of grey. Looks beautiful on you.
Awe. Happy Bday to your mama! The coat you got is great... you must have taken pictures a few days ago because it's been awhile since there has been dun in Ottawa. Dreading this weekend's prediction of snow. xo

I love the style and color of this coat. Absolutely gorgeous and you look great in it! This makes me want to venture out to my local mall's UCB :)
Ah finally I get to see this beauty. It's really gorgeous and you are so very lucky. I am going to shop at Benetton more often now.
When you said fiber was piling up did you mean little tufts of wool like cotton ball was kind of piling on top of the material like they were coming out of the material of something? Cuz I am experiencing something like that right now with a BB Dakota coat I got from Mod Cloth.
I HAVE THAT SAME COAT IN GREEN
I got it on vacation in Italy, but I'm glad they've brought em over here! It looks smashing in the grey. (And thank goodness for awesome customer service!)
great coat!!

I LOVE the new coat!! What a wonderful color too! I hope its as warm as it is fashionable! And yay for awesome customer service too! :)
I would wear this coat in a heartbeat.
It is amazing, the cut is lovely and the color wether platinum or grey just goes with everything !
