Downtown Coffee & Shopping

I am officially in love with the coats of fall!  I couldn't resist adding this Guess wine colored double breasted boucle cut away coat to my shopping cart recently and the best part is it's currently on sale! It's very similar to the light pink coat I recently wore in this post here.  I don't think you can ever have too many coats to wear in the fall and winter and I love having color options!

I recently met up with my niece at out local downtown cafe.   The weather is beginning to cool down quite a bit in the San Francisco Bay Area.  In fact, we've had some early season rain and turned on our heater last night for the first time since last winter!  Although it was a little chilly out, we enjoyed sitting outside to drink our coffee and tea and indulge in some yummy pastries before doing a little shopping!  The local shops were fully decked out in their fall colors and decor!  

I recently purchased this camel colored soft and cozy cashmere turtleneck.  It's the perfect layering piece to wear with your fall coats, skirts, and denim.  It's currently on sale so I decided to pick up a few colors including black and red for the holidays.  Cashmere is a timeless and classic staple that every woman should have in their closet.  The layering possibilities will provide you endless options for fall and winter outfits and keep you cozy and warm for the chilly days and nights ahead!  By the way, if you prefer a crew neck style, check out this option here  and if you like v-necks, you want to consider this option here.  

I've rounded up a few other fall/winter coat styles that I adore including this red wool blend trench coat, this navy fit and flare military coat, this black asymmetrical wool blend coat, and this grey envelope collar wool trench!

I hope you all had a safe a happy Halloween!  It's time to put away the witches and ghouls and bring out the turkeys and gourds!  I am excited for the upcoming  Veteran's weekend!  I'm headed up to Pyramid Lake Nevada to learn how fly fish with my husband and kids!  It should be a fun 3 day weekend for all!   What are your plans for the weekend?  

Until Next Time,

Pink Double Breasted Boucle Coat

Some ladies have an obsession with shoes and some have a thing for handbags!  My obsession is definitely coats!  In fact, I have a whole closet full of them!  They do take up quite a bit of room when you think about it and it's really hard for me to part with them!  I like having versatility from rain coats, wool coats, leather jackets, lightweight hoodies, etc, and generally I like to buy timeless and classic styles that never get old or dated.      

As I was organizing my closet for fall and winter a few weeks ago, I noticed that I didn't have a light pink coat in my collection...shocking I know since pink has always been my favorite color!  I looked up "pink coat" on Pinterest and found a ton of cute styles, which in turn led me to this double breasted boucle beauty!

First of all, I really adore the light pink color the gold detail on the buttons and the zippered side pockets.  Pink and gold is always a good idea!  Additionally, I didn't have a double breasted coat and I really liked the envelope collar and cutaway detail. I decided to wear it with my black skirt, a pair a opaque black tights, and my black riding boots.  I wore a pink ruffled blouse (similar here or here) to complete my outfit.    

This coat will definitely keep me warm throughout the fall season and I can't wait to wear it again when it starts to snow in the Sierras!  I'm already planning a winter look with a white cashmere turtleneck, cozy beanie, white mittens, jeans, and a cute pair of snow boots!

I hope you all are enjoying the fall weather, getting outdoors, and spending time with loved ones!

Until next time!
