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. 

From Left: Vera Wang $348 / Sam Edelman $148 / Mackage $690

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 Bit of a Wake Up

I have to be honest and tell you that my short hiatus was purely because my creativity feels completely shot. Maybe it is the in-between fashion seasons, my lack of desire to finish projects at home or a much busier schedule that has contributed to the absence of inspiration.

Then behold, Kate steps out for some humanitarian work in this McQueen. Polished, classic and always appropriate, she brought me back to life.

While not everyone has the opportunity to wear this exact look, I thought that it made for some great  inspiration. For us non-royalty, I would shorten that skirt and have a little more fun with the shoes. Give it to Kate to not cross any lines, look completely chic and spring me back in love with fashion.


I even was able to use this inspiration in my own closet.

James Perse top, Marc by Marc Jacobs skirt, Christian Louboutin shoes, Nixon watch

And a few pieces for Fall.

Zara Blouse, DVF Skirt ($245) , Guess Shoes ($110)

Thanks for the wake up I needed, Kate.
