{Shopping} 9 Must-Have Coats

Depending on where you live and how big a role winter-wear plays in your life, you'll know that January is the best time of year to pick up a new coat (or two). Sale season is in full swing, which means stocking up on cozy outerwear like it's going out of style... So to speak, of course. Right now I'm into fleshy tones, prints and basic blacks in the coat department, so when French Connection asked me to round up my favourite coats from their current (and reduced) collection, I couldn't help but narrow down my focus to those three categories. I find that pastel or camel outerwear generally take an outfit to the next level, while printed coats shine with bright pops of colour or complimentary prints. I save black coats for particularly crazy outfit days to minimize the amount of puzzled stares I generally get, or when a girl just needs a little something something to give the illusion of a slimmer silhouette... And considering that most of us just ate our weight in holiday treats, this last option is looking mighty appealing right about now.

Army Jackets

Thursday, October 11, 2012

Been spotting the army/military jacket a lot. I bought one a few months ago at Zara but never got a chance to wear it during the summer so am looking to incorporate it into my fall wardrobe.  I'm really loving these jackets with the leather sleeves.  I think it gives it such a cute but "tough" look to any outfit.

The embellished jackets are great too.  Just top one over jeans and a tee and you are set.  The middle one by Choies looks a lot like the Zara one I got.  I like the subtle embellishments on the pocket but how gorgeous is this topshop one with the sparkles on the back?  And the one with the pearl embellishments on the collar and the ruffle is so me.  I adore girly touches like that.  

I love the casualness of the ones above but these are great for the winter and when you are needing something a bit more dressy.  Love the slight ruffle of the one on the left and the buckle details on the right.
