Silky bathrobe-like things appropriate for outdoor wear are typically one in a million.  Especially ones that hint at the trench coat, and whisper 1920's kimono, all the while conjuring something a bit wizardly.  Leave it to Aritzia to create something oh-so silky that feigns pajama dressing.  Perfect for a day in the canyons.

Not so long ago I was traipsing through the woods of Topanga Canyon. You know, burning under the California sun, befriending squirrels, secretly wanting to hot wire an El Camino- the usual. A bit over-dressed for treehouse tea parties with the woodland folk. The local hippie culture inspired the tie dye head scarf. Rachel Comey goes forrest gypsy? The Laura Lombardi trinket reminds me of a mix between bolo tie and oddly a clock pendulum. In this context it could be a magical medallion enchanted by the gnomes of the woods.
