When it comes to the subject of war, I'm afraid I might just narrowly beat Levi Johnston in a debate.   I'm a peace-loving girl who often wonders why we can't all just get along.  I have no tolerance for intolerance, no patience for fights that never seem to end and a visceral distaste for weapons of any kind.  All that said, I'm inexplicably drawn to the ever-growing military trend that's taken over the fashion world in such a Napoleonic way.  Christopher Bailey's fall line for Burberry Prorsum was heavily influenced by all things military, (ie. cropped shearling aviator bombers and tailored wool peacoats), causing otherwise peaceful fashion circles to break out in near riots as its members battled for his must-have toppers.  Now that's what I call 'fighting the good fight'.  Real Life Runway Tip:  A borrowed-from-the-boys wool blazer from Smart Set (shocking, I know), becomes undeniably fierce when teamed with a studded clutch and over-the-knee pointy-toed boots.  I always like to soften the hard edges of a military look by adding something feminine to the mix - this soft, silky camp shirt from Joe Fresh Style does just the trick.
