Let's Discuss: Coats

Image: Always my fave - trinaturk.com

Yes, I realize it's the end of July. In Canada, this means it's time to gear up for winter.

The most important wardrobe item this, and every fall? The coat.

I am a life long lover of the coat. My closets are full of them. Different options for every season. Fall coats, deep-dark-winter coats, formal coats, just-running-to-the-store coats - you name it, I've got it. It's not my shopaholic tendencies that have filled my front hall closet with coats - it's laziness.

You see, a great coat covers a myriad of evils. A great coat is the piece people notice when you're running errands in your painting clothes. A great coat, along with your most fabulous shades, will disguise your no makeup day and you'll look fabulous.

So now I have you thinking about coats, watch this blog for what to look for when buying one. Hint: start looking (and shopping) now.

Spring Color

These two pieces are among my fave new items. More Trina Turk - can't get enough of her designs!

The halter and skirt are sold separately but could totally be worn together (as shown). The tulip skirt is actually made from a wool/silk blend which gives it a nice weight (no skirts flying up on a gusty Calgary day!). The halter top is silk and spandex so it's ultra-comfortable. Classics both.

Trina Tube

This totally cute Trina Turk, pink tube top came yesterday! One in black as well.

These are absolutely perfect for "athletic" chested girls. You know who you are! You're the ones who can wear anything on top without looking slutty. I envy you. This tube top is for you.

The cute double layer of ruffle gives the appearance of quite a nice little rack. Love.
