A Classic Trench Coat for your Leading Lady

]]> There’s something oh so glamorous about a trench coat. You’ve seen this wardrobe staple in all of the classic Hollywood films as well as shows. All fashionistas know a trench coat will take their outfits to a new level of sophisticated-ness.  You can pick up the classic tan trench or spice up your wardrobe with a bright shade or even a print.

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.

Sweetest Perfection Coat by Kahri

]]> Having a great jacket makes everything better all winter long. Seriously, how much does it suck to have to wear a warm jacket that you hate for four months? It happens really easily, too, because leather looks great but isn’t actually that warm, and warm, practical coats almost always look really practical in a too-grown-up-for-me kind of way. Well, not this one. Check it.

sowear_2077_96044614This is really dope AND practical. It’s made of a combination of wool and angora that’s bound to be soft and cuddly, and lined in tie-dyed silk. It combines moto jacket styling with a utilitarian length and fabric. But, wait, even the back is cute.

sowear_2077_96097590BTW this model is so Jenny Humphrey it’s killing me, but she has the best clothes on Gossip Girl, so anyhow…here’s one winter coat that won’t clash with your grunge era docs and flannels. Available for $500 from Stars and Infinite Darkness.

it’s possible to be warm & fashionable

]]> I’m on the hunt for cold-weather clothing that’s going to keep me warm & still look fashionable :-)

I’ve found a few jackets that fit the bill:

rust colored jacket by paul smith blue

I love the print on this 100% wool coat by Paul Smith Blue.

red embroidered jacket by ungaro

Or how about this fiery red embroidered wool jacket from Ungaro Fever?

Okay, so red is a little bold for you…

missoni grey print trench coat

What about going with this soft grey printed wool trench coat from Missoni?

jackets for a blustery day

]]> I’m not quite sure what happened… it was gloriously hot last week – and it’s now feeling like October.

So not fair!

My apologies to those of you still suffering in summer heat – we’re going to talk jackets today!

I love this new motorcyle jacket from Rock & Republic:

It’s their “Paice Washed Leather” jacket.

If leather isn’t quite your style, how about a lambswool melton jacket from L.A.M.B.?

I love that turquoise color!

And since I seem to be going with bolder colors today…

How about this merino wool jacket from Alexander McQueen?

]]> To prove that Roberto Cavalli also knows his way around the classics:

Voila!  The classic, elegant wool trench coat.

I admit, it does have leopard print lining, but wouldn’t that look stunning on a blustery winter day?
