More Coats To Drool Over...And They're On Sale Too!

Photobucket

Okay, so I know I sound a bit like a broken record but bear with me.

Looks like I don't have to choose between saving or stealing when it comes to wrapping up for Winter.

On the left we have the fabulously girly Nanette Lepore "Kiss Me" coat, regularly $650 now $390 at Saks or the Marc Jacobs Wool Blend Felt Coat in a classic navy. Normally $568, on sale $340. Get it at Nordstrom.

I may just end up not freezing my tukas after all.

Trends Report: Dark Knight

We’re not sure if it’s the somber economy or the fact that it makes you look about 10 pounds thinner, but black is back with a vengeance for Fall. After a season of explosive color, we’re thrilled to get back to basics. This doesn’t mean that we’re settling for drab – quite the opposite – this season’s updates are one part girly, two parts tough, cooking up a most stylish dish.


Key updates include:

  • Styles inspired by rock and Goth music and culture.
  • Interesting washes and finishes; ombre that fades from black to grey, metallic sheen, leather, feathers and fringe.
  • High-drama details; architectural influences, and sharp tailoring.
  • Lace, and graphic cut-outs.
  • Knits; either exaggerated chunks or barely-there threading that appears web-spun.
  • Smoky eyes and glossy lips stand up against an all-black wardrobe.
