Four Coats to Wear that are More Interesting than a Canada Goose, North Face, or Moncler
Stay warm and stay snazzy!
Disclaimer: I am not trying to maliciously call anyone out – there’s nothing wrong with having a few popular and long-lasting staples in your wardrobe (although the above are overpriced and have flirted with animal cruelty, but I digress). In any case, if you want to spice up your wardrobe, this is the list for you.
The Big Furry
The fur coat, once an unironic statement of wealth and glamor, has now been reappropriated into the more affordable and easy-to-maintain faux fur coat in a variety of styles and colours. These coats are warm and easily customisable to your personal taste. My philosophy with these is that bigger is better – fur, even faux, was always meant to be a bit over-the-top.
The Suede with Fur Trim
This might sound rather similar to a plain (faux) fur coat, but these say “I am a groupie” and “I thrift” much more than the above. These 70s-rock pieces are coming back, most often with a button-front closure and longer, more unkempt “fur” for their trim. The best finds for these will be located in charity shops and on Depop.

The Brightly-Coloured Statement
This is a less unified trend than the other two as it encompasses a range of styles, but I strongly believe in the value of having a few unique, stand-out pieces on hand. A statement coat is an especially convenient way to enhance a more classic or versatile outfit. Life is short. Make people look at you with bewilderment.
The Classic Leather Coat
To be clear, this is not the same thing as a leather jacket. Leather jackets, while chic, are not usually warm enough for the winter, and have all blended into a sea of faux fur-lined motorcycle jackets imitating each other. I’m talking about a straight-up Matrix leather coat. People might think you’re a dominatrix, but striking fear in the hearts of men isn’t a bad thing.

That’s all I have for now. You can only have so many coats, anyway – it starts to become impractical. Stay warm!

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!|

Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!|
