I was browsing through Neiman Marcus today and came across these fabulous coats and jackets that are on sale right now! This is perfect timing if you’re in the market for a lovely new jacket or trench coat to see you through the Fall and Winter seasons.
This hip Short Mac Trench Coat by Vince ($248, originally $495) is a fantastic piece to wear during the day while you’re out running errands or shopping. The short style keeps things casual while the classic details offer you a outwear option you can wear year round when the temps drop.

Since it was supposed to rain here in (perpetually sunny) Southern California, I thought it would be a great time to see if there were any great looking coats and other such outerwear available for Spring.  A stylish trench coat would make a great gift as it is a classic fashion item that can be worn every fall, winter and/or spring, day or night. These 4 trench coats definitely fit the bill!

Well my lovely readers, let see – today is the official first day of Autumn, at least for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere.
It’s also Monday.
And it seems like the unseasonably warm weather I’ve been enjoying has come to an end.  In fact, it’s pouring rain and is down to the single-didgets… brrrrrr!
So what’s my accessory pick for the day?
Jackets – stylish, feminine and useful jackets!
I love the detailling on this “Swing” raincoat by Manoush (I’m not sure how practical the 3/4 length sleeves would be on a day like today, where the rain is falling sideways though…)

JK Rowling wore a spectacular silk coat by Dior at a recent awards ceremony.  While I haven’t been able to track down the same coat, I did find this one by Dior:

It has the same jeweled belt and is a luxurious 100% silk – just in a trendy green animal print, rather than paisley.  Rowr!

Want to pull off the same look? May I suggest the red belted trench coat from Ferre’?

I’ve got too many yummy coats to fit into one post, so here’s part two!

This classic trench is from Dolce & Gabbana.

I’m a sucker for girly twists on classic clothing – this printed trench is by Cacharel.

This cotton/silk blend trench is by Elisa Pensa.

I love the paisley accent on this trench by Etro.

Trench coats aare a  hot trend for spring, and while I’m not sure if they totally qualify as “accessories” I still wanted to share some of my finds!

Anthropologie offers this very cute “Assignment” jacket, with tons of details and the traditional military styling of a trench.

While DKNY’s silk organza trench coat isn’t going to do much to keep off the rain, I think it would be fabulous for a warm spring evening, maybe paired with a slinky red dress?

This coat will keep you dry when it rains though!  It’s cold & dreary where I live, and this coat just makes …read more
