It seems sunshine follows Cali girl Lauren Conrad wherever she goes. Case in point: in NYC, in her happy swing coat. Yellow, an unexpected yet friendly color, always brightens drab Winter days.

We often look to Diane Kruger for red carpet inspiration — now let's take a lesson from her cold-weather routine. The actress was spotted shooting a movie in Berlin wearing a bundled-up outfit that's cozy cool. She kept her look dim but injected some light via an ivory knit beanie and red hoodie. Mortal combat boots lend a rough edge. Shop This Look Read more

Upon walking to work today, I noticed a very stylish girl wearing a camel coat, skinny black jeans, and booties. At first glance, it didn't look like anything to ogle over, but something about her outfit was extra special — a-ha! It was her short sleeve coat. See, she layered a pretty semi-sheer black chiffon blouse underneath her wool jacket for a cool textural effect, and of course, Read more

You must have noticed the tweed rage these days. Everyone is wearing it in some form. I loved Olivia Palermo's tweed H&M shorts so much, I got the matching jacket recently. While most tweed jackets are cropped, this Vintage Gray Stone Tweed Coat, size small, is equally chic. It looks good open and closed, and the black piping and big buttons are super cute. Especially if you live in cold Read more
