Every Closet Must Have A Go-To Winter Coat

With my wimpy southern California skin that is used to feeling the warmth of the sun 90% of the year I have stashed in my closet a pea coat for the cooler season, winter. It is my third pea coat and it is my go-to coat for winter, it is the coat I wear almost everyday during the season.  The pea coat has always been my go-to because it allows me to pair it casually with jeans or trousers or pair it with a cute dress and tights. It is durable, chic and hip. What is your go-to winter coat?

Really Diggin' The Vintage Style Tortoise Shades

Drifter shades in tortoise? Hell Yea! Rocking the nerdy glasses seems to be a thing these days but the Drifter Shades from Madewell are just plain cool, so nerdy so cool? It's like nerdy + tortoise = totally Phat, right? Or is it just me. I want them!  I think it would make an awesome addition to my ever growing collection of sunglasses.

What I'm Currently Loving At Madewell Right Now

The Brushed Oversized Coat! A part of me thinks I must be getting older and with it my taste in clothes more sophisticated because I never use to love this style of cocoon shaped coats before. I can't help but be taken with the classic shape that is forever timeless.

Where else am I seeing it?  At Asos.

Bien Fait!

I tend to lean on the tomboyish side when it comes to fashion. I've got closet full of loose tees and jeans and tons of coats and jackets to accessorize. Madewell's Bien Fait (Well Done) shirt would be a perfect addition to my wardrobe.

Denim Unexpected

I love it when I'm caught unawares, kind of like what Rachel Comey's Sentinel denim top (available @ Madewell) did to me the other day. At first I just stopped and stared and then I asked myself how I felt about this top, then I began to wonder do I like it? do I hate it?- I may hate the price but I definitely love the top! For so long I've been seeing the chambray button-ups everywhere and they don't seem to be going out of style and I am quite frankly just a bit tired of them, but this top.... It is a new fresh style for denim tops that is absolutely cute, feminine and relaxed.  It's chambray button-up's cute little cousin!
