The Coat Post-2011

It's that time of year, when we pull out our coats from the back of our closets and bundle up. Maybe you'll be relying on your old favorites, or looking for some new ones to add to your collection.

My favorite type of coat, by far, is the peacoat. I love that peacoats instantly make an outfit a touch more sophisticated and timeless, while still remaining fun.


The Majesty peacoat from J.Crew is absolutely perfect in every way. It comes in a ton of fun colors, as well as basic navy and black. It's also well constructed (you don't drown in it!) and super warm.


Alright, so not really a coat, but I love my vest from The North Face. It's super warm and easy to just throw on when i'm heading out and won't be in the cold long.


Also from The North Face, this down jacket is perfect for those (frequent!) days it reaches close to–or below–zero temperatures.


I got this longer length coat last winter from Nordstrom in navy, and am looking to snag another this season. I'm thinking this white would be a good choice? Or that yellow...Choices, choices. While this coat isn't the warmest, it's super stylish and a great price.

And my ultimate favorite coat-I-don't-have, Burberry's quilted jacket with pleated pockets!


So nice, I'm posting it twice.


This one's definitely on my wishlist...like for life. Or really, until I get a job and can pay for it myself.

  2. Just wanted to let you know (and this is just what I see... I live on the EastCoast), there is much more Patagonia vs. North Face so you should try putting that in. Nice job though love the peacoats! Just found your blog after looking through some random ones! :)
