Let's play with suede. It is such a chic yet retro fabric that is perfect for outerwear. Suede is sleek and warm which is perfect when you need to bundle up and still look awesome. It is the epitome of 'oh this?' not trying too hard perfection.

This jacket is currently 56% off. And when has CK ever steered you wrong?

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?

Winter Coat Perfection

My good friend asked me yesterday to find her a great winter coat.  I thought, yeah of course, no problem! But then I really thought about the winter coat.  Do you realize how important that is?  This is a staple for almost half of the year.  You wear it every single day to work, to the store, out on the town; and it's something everyone sees you in!  This is huge.

But, after some searching I came up with some pretty good picks.  She wanted a dark colored coat, not belted. Please also note that she said she is willing to drop more than $100 on it so that is why you will see some pricier options.  Let us begin...

Banana Republic, Ruffle Car Coat, $225

Hello chic and versatile.  I love this coat! I'm a huge fan of the car coat length, I have one myself, but look at this great waistline AND detailing on the sleeves.

J Crew Factory, tweed carlin coat, $138

I'm thinking Audrey Hepburn would have definitely wore this.

Nordstrom, Steve Madden toggle coat, $99

I love this coat.  Kind of sporty but that rounded collar give so much girly flare.

Dillard's, Antonio Melani Stand up collar coat, $149

I love the swing effect of this coat, and the purple would pair great with colorful scarves.

Macy's, Michael Kors standing collar, $170

Hi, my name is gorgeous.

Macy's, DKNY Julie empire waist with hood, $140

I LOVE this coat! Hooded, knee length, nips in at the waist and it comes in a bunch of gorgeous colors!

So those are some of my picks for her.  I think they're awesome because they are super warm, professional and fashionable.  Winter coats come in all sorts of shapes and sizes so make sure you know your size before purchasing.  Also, don't forget to love your tailor.  Don't love the hemline on the coat? No problem, buy it and take it to the tailor and make it fit you and your style.
