Fashion Me Fabulous

Occasions for which this expensive pleather jacket from BCBGMaxAzria is perfect: - Being a spy with some sort of shady KGB past. - Speeding on a motorcycle before coming to some sort of spin stop and shaking your long hair out of the helmet. - Throwing over your homecoming dress when you have to go into the sewer to hunt vampires. - Alternately, being a vampire (but not one who sparkles because no one needs that). - Seducing Sam Winchester. Point is, this jacket very much looks like it belongs on an action star, preferably one with a grey moral code or secret identity. It's not leather, which makes the price feel like cheating. But when you see this jacket pop up on a tough-as-nails detective with her own personal demons when the season premieres start, you are welcome for already finding it for you.

Today was jacket weather. Then it was too hot to move. Then it was steamy and raining with a harsh wind. Last week, it snowed. Looks like I'll still be carrying a jacket with me for another month. That's less of a let down with this floral painting bomber jacket . I'm not even into florals, and I love this print. I reminds me of Japanese tattoos, Van Gogh's Cherry Blossoms , and Monet's Waterlilies all at once. Unlike some other bomber jackets I've seen lately, this one is a breathable cotton blend. It would look equally lovely with a tutu or jeans. It's only $26 on Amazon, but the shipping is a little high as the item is coming from Korea. Still worth it for a classic style with a beautiful print.

The overwhelming runway trend in coats for fall was cocoon or blanket coats. Paris, as usual, had more variety -- nipped waists, trench coats, bomber jackets, etc. Still plenty of top tier designers like Saint Laurent, Chloe, and Balenciaga featured the loose style.

Like in New York and London, Milan was favoring looser styles of coats -- blanket, cocoon, cape. But more often than not, in Milan these coats were embellished to great degree. These coats feature everything from applique to embroidery, gems to fur, lace to color. If you are looking for a new coat this upcoming fall, buy a loose shape and cover it with cheap antique store brooches.
