A Rent the Runway Coat Vote!

Mr. Keller and I are going to see The Head and The Heart as our Valentine's Day gift to each other, and since it's been awhile I figured I'd utilize a little Rent the Runway to wear something special. But, unlike past rentals I have my eye on some statement outerwear pieces.... So, it's time for a new Rent the Runway Vote, coat edition! Please, leave your pick in the comments below.



This cape has a fun Russian Folktale feel to it with the embroidery and fringe. Definitely outside my usual style aesthetic, but that's the fun with rentals you can try something out of the box without having to commit.

#2 Elliatt

I think a pale blazer in winter is super chic. This open-front number has an interesting "swoop" detail and could be paired with a variety of pieces in my closet. 

Doesn't this "cocoon" coat look cozy? Love the pattern and the color, so vibrant and would really make a statement with just black jeans, boots, and a turtleneck. Very easy to outfit with this baby on my back! 

#4 Parker
I'm calling this a "blazer cape" a hybrid of #1 and #2 above, which may hit right in my style sweet spot. I'll get to try a cape, but have the comfort of a blazer. Also, the tuxedo vibe is perfect for a night on the town.





And lastly...
This is WAY outside my usual aesthetic, but after seeing this slide show from Vogue I'm inclined to give a furry puff jacket a go! The concert is on March 1st so, it'll probably still be chilly and like the cocoon coat above, I could outfit with ease, just throw on leather leggings, boots, and a black tunic and I'm set!

Leave your selection in the comments below. Voting ends on this Thursday, January 26th!

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that.  Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns!   Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans.   Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please!   Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast.   Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut.  Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton .     What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years...  FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!    

Nasty Gal

Since the weather has been horrible I've been consoling myself with online shopping. And have made my first purchase with Nasty Gal : Lacy Chiffon Blouse Yuma Studded Blouse Alva Knit Dotted Stud Blouse Apparently I'm having a button-up shirt craving. I think all three of these shirts could work with the sweater, which is an alternative to your basic pull-over and may be a bit too edgy for work. But, I'm thinking a conservative wool trousers would nicely balance it out.  And in writing this I've come to the realization that my work "uniform" for the rest of the winter will focus on mixing edgy pieces, (or items with unexpected details) with conservative basics.  That might not always actually happen, but it's a good starting off point in planning a week's office wear.  Okay, enough of my pontificating, go check out the sale over at Nasty Gal there are some great deals to be had.

Mid-Summer Sales!!!!

It's time for one of my all time favorite summer activities! No, not bbq and fireworks, but the mid-summer/4th of July sales!!! There are bargains to be had everywhere you turn and I've already scored some deals here this past week!  From Zara 's Sale: Waistband Trousers Oversized Tee From J.Crew : Linen Shorts Side-Slit Tee And a few pieces I'm thinking of from ModCloth : ModCloth T-Shirt Dress Chambray Tunic True, these pieces are a bit "basic" but I'm thinking of the 80/20 Wardrobe Plan . 80% of your closet serves as foundation/workhorse pieces with 20% consisting of statement, more fanciful items. Like this "coatigan" from Nasty Gal Wool Coatigan Just think how this coat/cardi hybrid will pop against the t-shirt dress above, and/or the grey pants and either t-shirt, for a solid 80/20 outfit!  Regardless of how you approach your mid-season shopping the point is to get up on the
