Just Peachy

Starting today, Paul and Joe's exclusive collaboration with the Outnet is available for purchase. I love the coral color of this winter coat, and the gold buttons and silhouette add a military inspired vibe. Since most of my winter coats tend to be darker colors this jacket would be a nice departure from drab neutrals. Be sure to check out this and the rest of the Paul and Joe for the Outnet collection because all of the pieces are just peachy.

Motocrossed

The other day I had the opportunity to check out American Eagle's new 4 story mega-flagship in the middle of Times Square. Though it's not a store I frequent, I was throughly impressed with this leather Moto Jacket, which felt buttery smooth and was perfectly tailored. I can definitely see this jacket thrown over all of my more feminine dresses to give them a tougher look. This is one jacket that is sure to leave you motocrossed.

The Dog's Tuxedo

Something about an amazing dinner jacket makes me nostalgic for a time when people valued getting dressed up to go out, have dinner, and travel. Though this jacket comes in an all black version, I am drawn to the navy and black contrast. Whether dressed up or dressed down, this blazer is no doubt the dog's tuxedo.

Camel Back

With winter fast approaching it's time to start pulling out coats. I am in love with the color and shape of this Acne jacket, so rich and luxurious. I even like their idea of belting the coat, a strategy I plan on looking into to update my own outwear. This jacket is definitely bringing camel back in a chic way for winter.

Collaboration Nation: Ruffian x Anthropologie


One collaboration that has managed to slip under the radar is the collection that Ruffian has produced for Anthropologie called Mise en Scene. Highlights include this camel winter coat with double ruffle collar that can either be buttoned up or let down. I also was taken by this little chiffon dotted blouse that would be a great piece to layer this winter. The collection also features amazing platinum ombre drinking glasses.

Trail Blazer


One wardrobe staple for this winter and beyond is a black blazer. Designers have offered up a number of different silhouettes, but the two I am most taken with are polar opposites. First up is Elizabeth and James's Blade Runner Jacket with sharp shoulders and a defined hem. The other style is a boxy, boyfriend fit as seen in this Vince 3/4 Sleeve version. Whatever you choose, a sleek black jacket is sure to make you a trail blazer.

Collaboration Nation: Where the Wild Things Are x Opening Ceremony


Where the Wild Things Are is being released into theaters soon, through director Spike Jones's vision. Opening Ceremony was so inspired that they created a line of pieces that draw from Jones's characters. They are all super furry and you can even purchase Max pajamas complete with eared hood. I was drawn to the Ira Full Skirt and the Bull Shawl Jacket. These pieces are sure to bring out the wild thing in you.

Bold Curves

I struggle taking out my winter coats every season because that means the temperature is dropping and summer is coming to an end. Yet, somehow this super bold Future Classics coat may be just the thing to pull me out of a winter blues slump. I won't lie this coat is certainly not for everyone and I am not even positive that I could pull off that much volume around my hips, but I can't help but think how cool it could look on the right person. So perhaps this winter it is time to dare to be bold.
