Coat Check: Herringbone Tweed Jacket by CR $38.99

Herringbone Tweed Jacket



One of the things I love most about Juniors oriented retailer Charlotte Russe is their price points. As I always say "Fashion Is Foremost Inspiration" and not cost. Charlotte Russe proves this again with this strikingly grown up: Herringbone Tweed Jacket. Even on blustery days you'll find sweet comfort while layering up underneath this Jacket featuring a herringbone tweed fabric, fold over tunnel collar, button front, two front flap pockets, buckled belt, and an interior lining. Price points as I mentioned before are always pleasing and this jacket sells for only $38.99. There are 4 different color available: Black/Gray (Pictured above, Black/White, Khaki Combo, and Brown Combo. Sizes range from S to XL. Click Here to view more pictures.

Coat Check: Bryant Pea Coat by Spiewak Bryant

December means a lot things to the fashion forward fashionista. It's the time of year that we go from Autumn to Winter. For many that means putting away the Pea Coats for Lady Coats, but for some Pea Coats are a winter obsession as well. But there are so many similarly styled Pea Coats out there how do you stand out from the crowd? Behold the Spiewak Bryant Pea Coat. The classic peacoat is updated here by a rounded collar and feminine fit. Really soft and comfortable with button detail at the sleeve with snap hip pockets. Thinsulate insulation absorbs less than 1% of its weight in water, dries easily and is warmer than down. Tobi.com offers this coat in both Navy (Pictured Above) and Brown. Sizes vary, so to give you some perspective note that Nida (pictured above) is wearing a size small. Nida’s profile: 5’10”, waist 24”, bust 29”, hips 35”. Pricing is at $143 on Tobi.com.

Look Book: CR- Fall Into Winter


The Thanks Giving Holiday marks a lot of important annual milestones. It's the official start of the holiday season, Black Friday kicks off a shopping season that last through Christmas, and if you live here in NYC it's the unofficial start of winter. It seems that every year the weekend after thanksgiving brings extra blustery winds and a precipitous drop in temperature. Although we're still technically a month away from the official start of winter you wouldn't know it today. But that doesn't mean you have to lose your sense of style. Enter this look from Charlotte Russe that I'm calling "Fall Into Winter!"



The centerpiece of any good fall look is the coat or jacket. Layer up under this lightweight Double Breasted Wool Jacket featuring a wool twill fabric, fold over collar, double breasted buttons, two front pockets, buttoned long sleeve cuffs, and an interior lining for extra warmth. The color pictured is called Chocolate, but this jacket also comes in Ivory White and Wine Red. Sizes range from Small to Large. For some perspective on fit, note that size medium has a shoulder-to-bottom hem length of 24". Keeping with Charlotte Russe's consumer friendly pricing, this jacket sells for only $28.99 and does qualify for the Black Friday BOGO Sale.





Next you'll need something chic underneath the jacket. Adorable with skinny jeans or leggings, this Tie Knit Tunic features a cable knit fabric, hood with pom pom drawstring tie, and a waist tie. This Tunic is sleeveless so I recommend wearing a turtleneck or sweater underneath. Charlotterusse.com sells this Tunic for $24.99 in sizes ranging from S to L. Size medium has a shoulder-to-bottom hem length of 33".



Leggings are all the rage right now, and I love them with this look. Layer or wear on its own, these 21" Seamless Leggings feature a stretchy knit fabric, seamless construction, and a ribbed waistband. The Inseam is 21" with a Rise of 7". They sell for $7.99 at Charlotterusse.com. Machine washable.







Tuck your leggings or bottoms into these Buckled Cowboy Boots featuring a distressed faux leather, buckled straps, round toe, stitching details, 2 1/2" faux wood chunky heel, and a lightly padded insole. 13" shaft height. Faux leather upper and rubber sole. Charlotterusse.com offers these boots in Black and Brown for $42.99.





You can top off the look with an earmuff hat or a cabbie hat. Gloves and scarves are optional depending on the temperature. All of the items above qualify for the Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off sale currently going on at Charlotterusse.com.

Fashion Circle Sale Alert: XOXO Abi Coat

XOXO Abi Solid Coat

I love different! Especially when different comes in the form of this Abi Coat by XOXO. The Abi is an elegant, retro inpsired design that will add extra polish to your fall wardrobe. The shapely A-line silhouette works well with all body types, but it's extra flattering to curvy and coke bottle figures. I love the elegant flare of the extra large buttons. They give the coat sort of a "Get Smart" secret Agent 99 look. This Abi Coat is currently being sold exclusively at XOXO.com for $79. White is the only color offered. Sizes range from S to L. It should be noted that the XOXO size chart doesn't offer a clear size chart for coats, but I recommend following the their rchart for dresses (Letter Sizes). This Coat is Dry Clean Only.
