I received a lovely hand-me-down recently that is still nearly new. I was escorted out of bed this morning and into the light by this deep sapphire Paul Smith trench coat. Who said a trench couldn't be a robe when it felt like it? Sapphire in my book would be midway between the brightness of royal blue and the depth of navy blue. It's vivid enough so you recognize the hue but deep enough to go with these darker December days. Blimey, but I feel extra British, today! In case you wonder, my photographer today was my brother.
