FALL OUTERWEAR GUIDE
Fashion Month always happens to have some interesting looks but when there is one spotted that can be worn in everyday life I get super excited. As the crisper weather approaches instead of throwing on your basic black peacoat add a little faux fur or color to your outerwear. I'm going to share with you some of my favorite's for fall.
One trend I want to hang on to as long as I can is faux fur. If you're going to add a fun new piece to your wardrobe add some faux fur! This is the perfect way of adding to your wardrobe without feeling like Ivanka Trump.

Menswear style peacoats are a big trend this fall which looks great paired with skinny jeans and heels. I'm obsessed with this blue coat. I bought one a couple years ago at Piperlime (by the way anyone else miss that site as much as me?) and I have gotten more compliments on that coat then any other I own. I'm a sucker for a cream peacoat, especially this one from Zara because you know it's so practical with 2 boys and Boston winters but I just can't resist a white coat. I'm so glad to see that J.Crew brought this hooded wool coat back. I will still probably chicken out and not buy it and then when I want it it will be sold out in the color I want. J.Crew hands down has the best fall coats. Right now they're 25% off with code SHOPNOW
I'm loving this wool menswear topper. Totally impractical but I've never been one to be practical.

Unfortunately if you live in a cold climate you know that the cute coat season doesn't last very long and we all walk around looking like this...
but seriously wouldn't you die for this when it's -12 outside?

Does anyone have a lighter weight down coat and is it as warm as the North Face ones?

Did you know ZARA has a Home Line?
ZARA Home Items
ZARA is one of my favorite stores. I first discovered it in London. Funny little story...I wandered into this amazing store that had the coolest clothes for everyone. So I bought each of us something and as I'm walking down Newbury Street was shocked to see a ZARA. This small town girl who was new to Boston had no idea I had one in my own backyard. I was thrilled! Then they made ZARA even better and came out with a HOME Line. it's only available online right now and they also have a kids line as well. Here are some of my favorite items that they currently carry.
1. This leopard rug would look so fun over a sisal rug
2. My brass obsession continues and since our spoons keep disappearing I may be needing a new set soon
3. Clean simple bedding with a pop of color. I love this blue accent. Add fun graphic pillows or a cream cable knit throw
4. These are great accents on top of coffee table books, for shelves or offices. This anchor one would be great in a beach house and it's an anchor so I'm immediately attracted to it.
5. I have a slight obsession with napkins and these rope knot ones would be perfect for summertime
6. This woven basket would be a great addition in a nursery for extra blankets and stuffed animals
7. Stripes? Yes, please. Throw this beautiful camel striped linen throw on your sofa or bed for a finished look
8. I like this picture frame because of it's height. You always want to decorate in layers and this gives you the opportunity to provide height to a console table of pictures.
9. I've always loved West Elm's decorative bowls and was excited to see that ZARA has a similar set. These also come in other colors as well.
10. I have been seeing these ladders a lot lately and I think they're a great addition to a guest bedroom to hang extra throw blankets. Or for that awkward narrow wall that you have no idea what to put there. You can hang magazines or towels on it too.
11. This is a great 2 in 1 piece. The tray lifts off the top of this. Would make a great side table or a small mini bar if you live in a smaller place.

Spring Outerwear Styles
It's hard to think warmer weather is on the way with a good amount of snow still on the ground here in Boston. But it will arrive and it always seems to arrive quickly. And then everyone panics that they need to shed their down coats and go buy a lighter weight coat and everything will be sold out because duh, why wouldn't you have thought to buy a spring coat when it was snowing outside. But leave it to my shopping partner in crime to be on top of it and remind me that I better start looking now. She asked if I had seen any cute coats out lately. Give me a mission gf and I shall find you some.
I love a good jean jacket. It's a classic that can be worn with practically anything. Invest in a good one because it will become a staple in your closet. I also love this chambray version of an anorak style jacket as well. Looks lightweight and comfy!
Anyone else obsessed with anorak style jackets as much as me? I purchased one at F21 a couple of years ago and get compliments every time I wear it. The army green color goes with everything but my only complaint is it isn't waterproof. I spotted this waterproof one in Lululemon the other week and love the zipper in the back. Love the white too!
I have a bit of a blazer problem. I love them and they're my go to in the spring. They make great spring jackets. I spotted this striped one at target about a month back when I wasn't even thinking about spring. This would be cute over a white eyelet dress as well. A white collarless one is great for a night out when you don't need a full on coat and love the simplicity of it.
Spring brings out all the pastels and bright colors. I adore a classic yellow coat for spring but I'm also loving this light aqua one and blue one as well. Something a little different then your average navy and olive green.
Having a good trench coat in your closet is a must! Dressed up for holidays or worn with your favorite pair of jeans and ballet flats they are always a classic. I'm loving the look of the darker one.
These 3 coats I would wear ALL THE TIME! The color goes with everything. I like that the middle one is quilted for the days when it's still cooler and you can't beat the price on the 3rd one at Old Navy right now.
If I could splurge I would totally go for this Barbour jacket because I know I'd live in it. They have similar ones at a fraction of the cost at J.Crew and Target had them last year so maybe they will come back again.
To find out where these coats are from just click on the picture.
