Fashion Fridays: Outerwear

It's getting cold FAST this season! The only thing good about the cold weather for me (besides being able to cuddle up in front of a fireplace...oh and s'mores...and Christmas...ok, so there are a few good things) are the COATS and accessories!! YESSS please!!

For Ladies:

I absolutely love dress coats (or coats in the shape of a dress). They still show off your figure while keeping you warm and show the chic, girly side of you. Pair it with a cute scarf and gloves and you are set! Below are some of my favorite dress coats (I'm falling in love with yellow again).


 


My other favorite type of coat is leather! Leather coats or military jackets are timeless and are great for the milder fall/winter months. They add a little edge or create the right amount of fierce!
Note: High collars are an eye-gasm.




For the Fellas:

Pea coats all the way! There is something sophisticated and sexy about a man in a pea coat. This can be worn with jeans or a suit, collar-up or down (I like collar-popped with a cool hat...check out my dude with the light eyes. Drool. Yes, I'm married, just window-shopping). Camel (minus those ridiculous sunglasses) or gray is definitely a winner if you don't want to go with the usual black or navy blue.




Of course, leather is the best appetizer for "danger" and will turn any woman's head (think Luke Perry, "Dylan", in Beverly Hills 90210 or Grant Show, "Jake", in Melrose Place...yes, the 90s were an important decade). Remember my "layering" post? Yessss.

Bullying: The Coward's Pleasure

I absolutely HATE bullying. I'm hoping that schools and teachers are implementing no tolerance rules for bullying, but in the meantime it is nice to watch our kids and future leaders setting an example. This story warmed my heart and I hope it will warm yours too.
