Focus: Outerwear

Hello, world! Oh, how I've missed you!

I'm back from my Italian hiatus and ready (apparently) for a New York winter season! When/how did it get this cold?! So with that in mind, I've decided to devote today's post to outerwear!

I am so obsessed with coats and blazers right now. My absolute favorite jacket in the stores right now is the Rebecca Taylor "Don't Cheetah Me" wool blazer with the puff sleeves. It goes with EVERYTHING. Dress it up for a night out with textured black tights and a sequined mini dress, make it casual and comfy with a long cashmere sweater dress and leggings (or jeans or better yet, legging jeans!) and wear it to work with trousers and a camisole. Leopard is a great neutral and goes well with bright bursts of color, like our favorite, hot pink.

In addition to the great leathers we blogged about before, we also got in another Joie jacket in the softest leather...just perfect for the fall! We've paired it with the new Nanette Lepore leopard dress and would wear it with tights and boots and a bright scarf.

I also love the details on the clothes this season. Look at the zipper details on this Freya Lab jacket, which is great for layering over long sleeves or as an accent over a sequined top.

Cute, right? But when it's 40 degrees and only October, a little jacket just won't cut it on its own, no matter how cute. That's when we need to break out the heavy stuff. Like this Beth Bowley coat in a bright pink, which is sure to stand out against all the gray and black New York uniforms.

Or, this adorable little Liquid coat in coral plaid.

With any of these pieces, you'll be sure to look amazing during the fall season.
Stay warm!
