Have You Been To French Connection Recently?

A friend of mine asked me to help her find a cute cover up for a special event, so I took to the internet tubes in search of a shrug or cardi that she could wear long after her soiree was over.

This serendipitous event led me to French Connection which I inexplicably haven't shopped or thought about in nearly 10 years.

Imagine my surprise at all of the stylish goodness contained within their virtual walls. I adore this chunky Arabian knit sweater - perfect with leggings and slouchy boots - I will wear it all winter long.

Ditto this elegant black wool coat and curiously named wonder dress.



Winter wardrobe dilemmas solved.

Yeah, I'm Obsessed.

Though I've yet to reveal my fabulous new winter coat on this blog I continue to sniff out the deals...remember this Nanette Lepore one that I drooled over?

Well, it's on sale for a cool $200 bucks off at Bloomies.

Winter Coats: Save or Steal?

As I've mentioned before on this blog I am completely obsessed with finding a new winter coat. Not just because I feel like it because I don't have one.

Realistically I know that a well made coat is worth investing in but the simple truth is I am broke. And cold. So in my search for cheapie outerwear I dug up the following "Save or Steal" options:





I told you about this J. Crew coat (left) before and I still think it's pretty neato but it's still near the $400 range. The Delia's coat (right)is $69.50 as is or $89.50 with thinsulate.





I love the idea of a bright magenta wool coat in a season where things get to get cold, dark, and drab. The Anne Klein coat on the left is so fab - to the tune of $350. Its Delia's counterpart is only $79.50.





I love the chic detailing of the Mackage on the left - sadly I don't have $600 burning a hole in my pocket. Enter Delia's once again. This Tristan Peacoat rings in at $89.50 leaving plenty of spare change left over for a cute hat and gloves.

A New Coat For Fall -- For Under $200 + $20 Off

Earlier this week I told you about a PayPal promotion that gives you $20 off a $50 purchase from Shoebuy.

Well, I'm happy to report that the deal isn't just for shoes. Smart Bargains is getting in on all the fun. Spend $75 with them and the offer still stands.

Since the number one thing on my shopping list for Fall is a new winter coat I've got outerwear on my mind. I found these beauties from DKNY, Tahari, and London Fog, and the prices are pretty great - all under $200 - not including the $20 coupon. You can find all of my picks here.

The nice thing is, Smart Bargains is more than just coats (Hey did I just quote a Burlington Coat Factory commercial from the 70s? Yikes!)

Shop them for deals on stuff for your guy, your kids, or your home.

It's all good.
