Metamorphosis

What is the cocoon coat? What does that even mean? Well I will tell you because I had to look it up. Picture the butterfly cocoon. It is a straight-down, unstructured, masterpiece. You don't need to admire it's curves, it's straightforward and simple. How does this translate to fashion? This coat has a lack of shape, embrace it. There is no need to belt it, there is no need to define a waist. It's a cocoon. Own it.

Bombs Away

Happy Monday lovebugs,
There is a chill in the air here on the East Coast. Do you feel it? It's fall kids, and I love it. It's time for layers, boots, and light jackets. We've discussed vests which are a great option for fall. And last week we looked at blanket scarves . Today we're talking bomber jackets, and boy do we have some options.

Piperlime, Tulle Embroidered Bomber Jacket, $74

Didn't see that coming, did you? I know. I'm in love.

Zappos, Converse Quilted Bomber Jacket, $65

This jacket looks so cozy and casual. Want to have some fun with it? How about adding a sassy pin?

Red Riding Hood

I cannot believe we've gotten this far into winter without talking about capes. A huge mistake on my part. Please forgive me. Now then, I give you the cape. The easiest outer layer there ever was and ever will be. I prefer a darker color with this item because you will get a lot of use out of it so it needs to be versatile with your outfits.

Nordstrom, Trouve Faux Leather Trim Cape Coat, $76

A lovely mix of brown and black. It will go with pretty much anything in your closet.

Forever 21, Femme Boucle Cape, $47

You know Forever 21 is serious when an item costs more then $30. So hold everything kids, this is good stuff.

Macy's, Big Buddha Wrap, $72

A lighter option in a beautiful carmel that is zip and go.

Asos, Bonded Check Cape, $49

I love the plaid peeking out of this cape. The toggles are also a great detail.

It's difficult to find a cape for under $100, and now that it is mid-winter the sales on these items are starting to show. Pick the color and style you are looking for and make sure you don't settle. This style isn't going away, you can find just what you're looking for eventually.

In Between Weather Coat

So it's not quite freezing but it's not no jacket weather either.  What's a girl to wear in this in between weather? Trench coats are always an easy go to but let's try something a little out of the box.

Gap, Modern Bomber Jacket, $89

How luxurious is this jacket? I'm obsessed with the color, texture and collar.

J Crew Factory, Gilded tweed jacket, $88

This is very First Lady don't you think? I would even add a patent leather belt to this.

Newport News, Zip front leather jacket, $99

That's right, under $100. Great darting through the torso, makes this jacket ready for Fall.

Banana Republic, Lace trim jacket, $79

I love this jacket. It's ladylike, it's cozy, and it has gorgeous detailing.

So what do you wear for this in between weather? Vests are big this season, any other ideas?
