I was browsing through one of my favourite shops, Anthropologie, today and came across an amazing trench coat that I just had to share with you!

The Leading Lady Trench Coat by Eley Kishimoto ($498) is a fantastic coat that will look quite amazing with all of your fall and winter outifts and look even better years from now. This is the type of coat that will stand the test of fashion time because of the classic style, cut and details.  Although the print may seem a bit on the busy side, that’s easily toned down by wearing a monochromatic and solid coloured outfit. If you want to break up the black and white lattice print a bit, thrown on a solid coloured scarf in creamy ivory or even a charcoal grey.

The price is a bit steep but this is a total investment piece. If you’re looking for a great gift idea this holiday season, this coat is it and your leading lady will love it! Sizes range from 2-10 and you can purchase this in Anthropologie stores and online.

4 Fabulous Trench Coats for Spring

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…)

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

more trench coats

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 me smile   It’s a water-proof cotton/lycra blend from JC de Castelbajac’s spring/summer collection.
