designer pick of the week, outerwear
By Andrea Thatcher on January 29th, 2008
We’re in the mood for classics with a twist today at Shiny (see the LaPrairie limited edition jeweled version of their covetted Skin Caviar Luxe Cream over at ShinyGloss!).
So we thought what’s more classic than the Burberry trench? And since this is our most decadent pick of the week – why not show you the most expensive one: the $2,495 gold leather version.
There are 27 versions currently available on the Web site, not to mention the made to order trench coat service available at Burberry stores. Lucky patrons are able to select the style, color, warmer, lining, and collar.

It may not be Cannes, but celebrities have come out to play at the Sundance Film Festival whether they have movies to promote or not. Sarah Jessica Parker, in town for the premiere of her film Smart People, keeps her urban cool even in Park City, Utah proving that you can take the girl out of the city, but … you know. She works black pants tucked into very basic black boots – similar to Bijou Phillips look, far right. SJP breaks up all the black with a gray top and long necklaces. Bijou on the other hand went with a much darker gray top and an awesome short jacket. In the middle, Jessica Alba is thinking big: big hair and big jacket anyway. Guess she wants to keep her baby bump warm and out of sight.

Emily Blunt has been keeping it casual at the Sundance Film Festival where her film The Great Buck Howard is showing. On the left, Emily stays monotone at the premiere of her film with a brown tweedy coat with an oversize collar, and camel-colored boots. It’s a great example of how to stay warm while looking chic. She takes it down a notch in the outfit on the right while hanging out around Park City. Again monochromatic in black, except for more brown boots (we like this pair even better) and a puffer jacket with a fur-lined hood.

It certainly seems like the laid-back attitude and midwestern location of the Sundance Film Festival has stars letting their style guard down. Trying to stay warm may be another part of it, as seen by the variety of outerwear above. Scarves and hats are always big cold-weather style staples, as seen alone or in combination on all the girls above. For who’s wearing what where, keep reading.

Accessories, outerwear
By Andrea Thatcher on January 17th, 2008
If the word cashmere is mentioned, our ears perk up. When our ears hear YumYum, we tend to think of cupcakes. But the cashmere YumYum from TDM Design isn’t for eating, it’s for keeping cozy.
The soft, colorful neck warmers can supposedly be worn as an accessory as seen above, but we don’t see ourselves wearing them indoors anytime soon. We much prefer them layered with another scarf or on their own as outerwear. They’re great for reducing bulk if you don’t want a chunky knit monstrosity wrapped around your neck.
Handmade in Nepal by women working together in cottage industries, the YumYums come in a wide variety of vibrant colors and cost $45.

Designer Fashions, outerwear, Yay or Nay

I know it’s Chloe, and we feel bad putting anything of hers in the Yay or Nay category…but it’s pink vinyl. This $1,970 tie-front coat looks a little bit like a raincoat I had in kindergarten, and also one my Barbie had. Which I thought was fabulous at the time, but all grown up … I don’t know. What do you think?

Designer Fashions, How to Wear, outerwear
By Andrea Thatcher on December 12th, 2007
With all the cropped options out there, it’s surprisingly hard to find a cropped coat without cropped sleeves. While I love the look of cropped sleeves and elbow-length gloves, not everyone wants to go for that look or sometimes it feels a little too dressed up. I can’t imagine if I were tall and had long arms. But this Joie Goin’ Back Jacket has a fitted, cropped look with sleeves that are plenty long, and it’s currently on sale for $273. If you’re into Joie, owned by Serge Azria, Max Azria’s older brother, you’ll be happy to know they plan to expand their brand with more offerings and stores!
