    Oh these are all lovely! What a fun cut. I especially like both the green and black ones at the end..especially the little pleating on the green one. xx

    J'adore the cocoon look. I have actually been on the hunt for the perfect cocoon cardigan. I found one at Urban Outfitters, but made the mistake of not buying it. Now I'm back to square one. :(

    Love these looks! Louis Vuitton has been a favorite of mine as of late! :)

    I need a new coat. Desperately. But I've been resisting fall for so long I can't bear to shop for one. It's like admitting defeat.

    These are all gorgeous, though!

    Some of these looks are a tad outre for me. Perhaps growing up in too too cold a place has dampened my senses and ruined coats for me...

    With that said, darling, loving the DK and the Eileen Fisher. Both so wearable, and both designers that make me feel warm and loved...

    Commence d'hiver!

    The cocoon looks is so intersting to me. I love the idea of solid structure over delicate layers. The Viktor & Rolf look is absolutely breathtaking. The structure is flawless. I also love the Moschino look and the Stella McCartney piece.

    Cocoon is a shape not very good to all shapes of bodies. I know I couldn't pull it of, unless it there's a belt.

    I love a good cocoon coat, but I've observed that it looks best on a really skinny person as it tends to give a roundish shape to a person.
