  3. I LOVE coats- perhaps more than shoes...wait, no, but close second, haha. My mom yells at me each year because I buy at least 2 new coats. My fave is the ADAM first one...on the search now for a look for less! :)

  5. Not a bad idea at all... coats can be a little too minimalistic sometimes! My choice here would be Tibi or Blumarine. :)

    I do love that Kinder Aggugini coat, and the backdrop on the runway.
    Your blog posts make me happy when you include wonderful garments like that, which are really gorgeous and 'me' but I've never heard of before. You've had some great winter florals lately.

  46. I really enjoy the fact that you introduce to people a way to get inspired by high fashion designs and apply it into their own wardrobes through easily affordable ways. Smart :)

    Other than that, I really enjoy the classic trend that's coming back. The more proper british maybe? It's filled with such elegance and poise.

  67. Great post! Printed coats are so important because they are worn over all of your other clothes on most cold days. So your coat should definitely make a strong statement and a print is such a great way to do that!
