Trend Alert: Good Ol' Pea Coats

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 04:00:22 -0700

What a sidewalk sight Michelle Williams and little Matilda are. I would totally coordinate my outfit with my little lassie, too. But what's equally stunning here is Michelle's classic wool asymmetrical pea coat by Jeffrey Monteiro. It's official, folks: it's time whip out your tried and true outerwear, including good ol' pea coats. I have a charcoal gray one by Banana Republic that hits the spot for me. Navy and black are fine color choices as well. And the best part? These keep you nice and toasty.

Look of the Day: Effortlessly Put Together

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 07:12:22 -0700

I commend Littlemissme for planning this effortlessly put together ensemble on a weekday; in this day and age it's becoming too easy to throw on a pair of jeans and a hoodie, and run out the door looking like you just rolled out of bed. I especially love that the green peacoat is cropped because if it were a bit longer, it might look outdated. I also admire how Littlemissme coordinated her flats with her tank; it pulls the look together but doesn't come off as matchy matchy.

Here's the outfit breakdown:

Green Peacoat: H&M
Skinny Jeans: Top Shop
White Tank: Top Shop
Flats: Wash&Go

Congrats to Littlemissme!

Ebay Find of the Week: See by Chloe Pea Coat

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 13:21:50 -0700

Pea coats are a classic, but they are especially trendy this season. The same goes for peplum jackets, which combine the fit of a pea coat with the shape of a dress. Instead of opting for basic black or gray, check out this sophisticated slate-blue pea coat by See by Chloe now available on eBay. The current bid on the size 8 wool coat is just over $2, but it's likely to climb by the time the auction ends tomorrow.

I'm all about taking precautionary measures during flu season. Besides getting my annual flu shot, I always make sure to bundle up and stay warm.

I own an arsenal of toppers from my days in NYC, but if you're still looking for that perfect outerwear piece, check out these 10 Winter coat picks. There's houndstooth print for McQueen lovers, pea coats for the classically chic, bright red for the daring stylephile, and fresh ponchos for the fashion-forward. The best thing?

Found! Katherine Heigl's Red Pea Coat

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 17:00:22 -0700

Yesterday I came across this Juicy Couture Double Breasted Coat, $398, and was mesmerized by it. Today, I saw that Katherine Heigl apparently was too: she was wearing it at Advocate Magazine's party last night! The peter pan collar and gold buttons are especially adorable. Although she has way too much red going on with her Valentino bag, red Louboutin soles and the coat, she still looks like one scorching lady in red.
