Kate Spade Winter - Faux Fur & Faux Bois

A Great Look

Kate Spade

A Fabulous Coat

I just bought this fabulous coat yesterday at Anthropologie. Don't you love the collar? Available on sale here.

Studio Mona Coat

I love this Studio Mona Coat from Kate Spade. With its striped wool, swing shape, shawl collar, and oversized bow, it is the perfect fall coat.

Kate Spade Essentials Ela Coat

Red is super hot this fall. Take this sophisticated wool coat for instance. I love the bow detail and rolled collar. Tres chic!

Gryphon Fall Coats

Gryphon makes such beautifully constructed coats. The attention to detail is truly amazing and every year there are new coats to lust over. This season military and capes are major trends. The Gryphon woman is modern yet classic, casual yet elegant.

The Coats of Mad Men

As summer turns to autumn, my thoughts turn to coats, one of my many passions. So here is a look at the coats of Mad Men, for what era did coats better than the 1960s? My coat collection includes three vintage beauties from this era-a very glamorous silk lined gold sequined coat, a tapestry princess coat, and a fox trimmed black evening coat. See the last three photos. Be on the lookout in vintage stores for 1960s coats. Please don't forget your gloves whatever you do. And make sure to visit my post today on the Chinoiserie living room of Don and Betty Draper-click here.

The Ruffle Coat

Ruffle detailing is a modern and sexy update on the classic trench coat. I found a few great ruffle coats that are feminine, but not too frou-frou. 

My inspiration was this Phillip Lim silk trench coat, which by the way, is already sold out on net-a-porter. I can't say I'm surprised; it's gorgeous in person. Phillip Lim is a master at ruffles. 

This Forever 21 coat is sublimely elegant; the collar is divine. 

Loeffler Randall's trench is classic and demure. 

The front ruffle on this BCBG trench is innovative and chic. 

The ruffle detailing on the collar/cuffs of this J.Crew slicker is positively sweet.
