The "Catherine" is Back...






With all the bulky outerwear this season making us feel larger-than-life (and perhaps not in the good way), its nice to peel-off all the extra layers to reveal the shapely body underneath.
The "Catherine," a classic A.Cheng design, helps battle the bulk with an elegant, curve-friendly shape that is light and feminine, yet wholly appropriate for the winter months.
In classic black and vibrant plum, with duel front pockets and a chic boat neck, the Catherine ($275) is a winter wardrobe essential.
