Coats & Jackets

The trench coat has become a wardrobe staple, and while it may be considered a basic, Sonia by Sonia Rykiel is adding a feminine and fun twist. Combing two of my favorites – polka dot print and stunning tailoring, the Polka Dot Denim Trench Coat is no longer just a coat but part of an ensemble. And ever since it’s beginning to rain more and more, this coat is ultimate for those awful rainy days while providing some energy. I am obsessed with this trench coat, but not so much with the price. Not to worry though, the steal is simply perfection!

Banana Republic Polka Dot Trench

Usually I would associate rainy and cloudy days with a depressing mood, but the Banana Republic Polka Dot Trench really makes me anticipate for this kind of climate. It’s the closest match to the real deal above, but is rather a much more budget-friendly and affordable version. At a mere $150, maybe rainy days have a purpose in fashion after all. Additionally, this trench is available in petite sizing.

I’ve been feeling the winter blues lately. Ever since switching back to standard time days have become short and shorter, the weather gets gloomier every day and on top of that I caught my second cold this season. Blech! However, as soon as I laid my eyes on this beautiful sunshine yellow coat by Karen Millen I felt instantly better. Turns out all one needs to cheer sick ol’ me up, is a bright pop of yellow on a beautiful item of clothing! :-)

Is there anyone out there who wasn’t crazy about some aspect of the Burberry Prorsum fall/winter 2010 collection? From the draped, ruched mini dresses, to the over-the-knee boots, to the completely delicious cropped shearling jackets—it was a sensation at the minimum, iconic at the max. And you can see why. The Shearling Funnel Neck Aviator Jacket looks like a cloud in the form of a clothing. If I could justify $3.5k for it, I so would.

A few days ago Selena Gomez was getting her hair done in Vancouver, Canada looking cozy and stylish in a faux fur wrap jacket by bebe. Love the knotted tee, the buckled boots and the fact that Selena chose to go with an affordable look. Gotta love budget-conscious celebrities!
