Faux Real

Hello from the inside lovebugs,
I must have Netflixed 1,000 times. Here in DC we have two feet of snow and while it's awesome, it's also cold. So today I thought we would warm things up with some faux fur/shearling outerwear that puts my utility puffer coat to shame.

Nordstrom, Steve Madden Faux Shearling Crop Moto Jacket, $99

The look of true shearling but without the price. I really love the soft leather and asymmetrical zipper.

Amazon, Jessica Simpson Wool Anorak, $220 $56

Originally $220, this jacket is a steal! Heavy wool but you can define a great waistline with the drawstrings.

Macy's, Larry Levine Faux Fur Hood Down Puffer, $195 $79

Look at this slimming quilting seam along the torso. A beautiful winter white.

Modcloth, Toasty Transit Coat, $89

Who doesn't love a great toggle coat? This one has lovely details with patch pockets and a full zipper.

So stay warm and stylish this week with whatever you have. This snow isn't melting any time soon so why not stand out with your outerwear?

Oh Shear

Guys, it's cold. I'm not particularly upset about it because I like cold weather and it's mid-November, it's time. I also like the cold because it means its fantastic coat time. There are a lot of trends for outerwear this year. From cocoon to wrap to mixed media; but the one I really love because it mixes utility with sass, is shearling.

Nordstrom, Caslon Faux Shearling Lined Moto Jacket, $88

I love that this jacket mixes motorcycle style with blazer notched label. A great blend of rocker and prep.

Missguided, Harlow Shearling Biker Coat Cream, $85

A crazy twist on shearling with this longer option. So much sass.

Piperlime Collection, Coated Shearling Jacket, $87

There are jackets and then there are jackets. This is the latter. Attention to detail like an asymmetrical zip and waist hem buckle. 

JCPenny, a.n.a Collar Moto Coat, $83

A classic look with khaki and cream. I love the oversized fold over collar.

Keep warm and cozy this winter with shearling. It mixes comfort with chic and who doesn't want that  when it's frigid outside?

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.

Mango, Minimal Cocoon Coat, $89

How airy and simple is this coat? I'm obsessed with this pink.

Asos, Fluffy Cocoon Coat, $79

Keyword: fluffy. Comfort meets warmth in this perfect go to coat.

Forever 21, Pleated Funnel Neck Cocoon Coat, $44

Ok chic Forever 21, I see you!

Missguided, Lena Cocoon Coat, $75

Oh mustard, how I love you.

So what are we thinking on the cocoon coat? Pretty great, right? Agreed. A great addition to your coat closet that is casual and chic.
