No Colors Anymore

Monday night's Gossip Girl made a friend and me realize that we NEED brightly colored coats. Enjoy.
I think my friend actually is getting this one. Vintage tent coat, $68
In my fantasy world I'm Blair. Sort of. My explanation for needing a red coat was as follows" I've always looked good in red. It compliments my dark hair and Snow White qualities." Besides, a military coat is far more appropriate for inspiring the troops than your average pea coat. Vintage Military Coat, $148
Lambswool and it's on sale (40% off). George Simonton fold over coat, $139.90
Gawker pointed out that the mister costume designers put Nelli in a yellow coat on Monday night. Oh how terrible. But it made me imagine Eric Daman is part of the gang on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia which then led to a wonderful mash-up of those two shows. yellow Alice + Olivia coat, $505

This is the Year We Have All Been Waiting For

Fashion Icon: The Inauguration

Who would not be inspired by Michelle's dress or Aretha's hat?
It may be freezing out but add some merino wool tights and a nice jacket and this dress is inaugural perfection. Ports 1961 mock turtleneck dress, $695
You know, for the red states. Or not. It's warm and fabulous, what more could you want in a coat? Vintage Drape Coat, $188
Aretha's bow was bigger, and sparklier, but I think that would be a little much with this dress. Bow Beret, $38
Sensible slingbacks, but still a little glittery. Fun! $39.99

Never Fear, the Jumpsuit Wasn't Orange

It was nice and cold today, the first real fall day! Of course some one got mugged right by campus and we were on lock down all during my Astronomy block while the cops searched the neighborhood for a certain jumpsuit wearing 16 year old boy with a knife. Unfortunate. But let's get back to the lovely cold weather and look at some coats.

I have always had a love for Trench Coats. Apparently nearly every SAT tutor has a similar love, but in black. Awkward, but this trench is far more stylish than anything a professional standardized test tutor could manage. That's not to say that I don't think that everyday people should have good style. Penguin trench, $295

If Miami had a real winter I'd expect to see plenty of coats like this one. Anthropologie Kaleidoscopes Coat, $168

Aquascutum will never stop making me love their clothes, and isn't orange a perfect fall color? Aquascutum Hatia coat, $2,900
