Fall Jackets & Coats

I know, it is still August and the thought of cold weather is anything but great, but I cannot resist to start looking to Fall. Jackets and coats make me giddy. This coming season there are lots of new, fun takes on some old classics. So while you might not want the temps to drop, these numbers may change your mind. 

Leather sleeves and shearling are a great update to the asymmetrical flap coat.

Military is always a Fall staple. I am loving the soft dove gray of this coat and the shape of this shorter version of the usual anorak. 

Burberry $995 / Rag & Bone $242

Moto can be a bit hard for my taste, but these jackets have just enough of this trend. 

Treasure & Bond $328 /  Generation Love $282 / Marc New York $328 

Obsessed with these soft pastel pink pieces. 

JOA $134 / Splendid $168 / Rebecca Minkoff $498

These quilted jackets are a lot less mom-ish than their usual counterparts. 

Sam Edelman $150 / BCBGeneration $148

Adding knit makes denim more soft and cozy. 

Free People $148 / Maison Scotch $335 

Just think, order now and enjoy later. I always wait until it is actually cold and then scramble to make a decision on something new.

A Short Story

Although the temperatures may not reflect that shorts are soon to be part of your every day wear, it is never too early to start shopping. Separates and shorts have been a year round staple for many girls about town. Worn with tights, you can easily bring shorts into fall and winter. I am looking forward to the warm weather, ditching the tights, and getting comfortable. Shorts can be tricky since too short is not a good look on anyone, too long can be matronly, and you always want to wear something flattering. The key is to think of the shoes you will be wearing, how much leg you want (or should) show, and check yourself out from all angles. If you look great, feel comfortable, and know that these shorts will get some wear, then I think you just found your new favorite piece for spring. I found these denim bloomers at Zara and loved their roomy feel without adding bulk to my bottom half. Time to start your search, here is a head start.
