Chloe Coats

OK so you know we have a weakness for coats. We saw these come off the runways in Paris last week and seriously fell in love. Here are a few pointers for buying coats at the moment (or for next year). Look for over-sized, more boxy cuts (the coat sling we talked about yesterday from Vogue works perfectly for this look). Also, the 50's shape/cape look is still going pretty strong (we've been seeing this for a while now). Lastly, the shorter cropped jacket looks oh so chic with longer skirts. Remember Derek Lam last year? Yes, this is a nice look. It's also oh so nice for the spring. So break out your maxis with shorter/cropped jackets! You'll definitely catch us doing it.

Joe Fresh Tee and Sweater Slinging

This reddish tee has been one of our casual go-tos lately.  It has even started to make its way into the suitcase (which is saying a lot...meaning it is the most comfy of the most comfy to make it onto the road with us). Want a top similar (or even better) than ours? Here's what Joe Fresh has cookin' for spring. Also, we've been totally rocking what's being called "coat slinging." We were surprised after sporting it that Vogue wrote a whole article about it here (it's fun to go through the slides of all the fashionistas). Although this is a sweater, Melody wore a jacket slung this past weekend for the wedding she shot (will show you soon). And to tell you the truth, it was nice being neither hot nor cold. Here's to more in-between weather options!

Spring White with Trench Coat

We were lucky and caught a lot of Spring weather in Texas, Florida and California, so we were finally able to break out the trench coats. And doesn't it just feel so springy to wear all white again? We also like the juxtaposition of the black accessories. Trench is from Banana Republic, shoes are Forever 21, bag is Shop Suey (similar here).

In-between Weather

Since we did a lot of touring in Texas this past month, we hit a lot of  "in between weather." There were days where it would be in the 70's and days in the 50's. But then there's the 60's. The upper 60's are the most difficult. You wanna throw on a skirt, but you're afraid if you put a t-shirt with it you'll be too cold. So why not put a sweater over it? This kind of reminds us the fabulous outfit Alexa Chung donned over London's fashion week below. Or how about some Sartorialist tulle?
