Ahnu 'Sugarpine' Waterproof Boot

These boots are comfortable from the start! I've stepped in a cow patty, I've had a ocean wave roll across the boots, and they stayed dry. They are true to size and very light! Couldn't ask for anything more. Wouldn't know what it would look like! Thanks Nordstrom for sending them all the way to Hawaii.

Vince 'Paper' Leather Scuba Jacket

I could wear this every day and maybe I will ~ the description is pretty on cue, lushly soft leather, slim fit, sleeves are nice and long on me (I am nearly 6ft tall). Order 1 size up as this jacket runs a bit small and narrow in the shoulders and across the chest. This jacket is super cozy and looks great with anything, very versatile and a great casual look for day to night.

Fleurette Notch Collar Long Wool Coat

This is a beautifully updated version of a classic style. The fabric is by Loro Piano and is luxurious. I bought it in black. I am normally a 10-12ish; the 10 fit snugly but did not allow room for a sweater or suit jacket underneath, so I bought a 12. Length is below the knee and I am tall. I wore it over a dress with tall boats, and jeans with short boots and it looked fabulous. Love it!

Canada Goose 'Camp' Hooded Down Jacket

Fantastic coat. I'm 5'2 and most puffer coats make me look like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man - not this one slim fit and perfect length. Very warm. Glad that I splurged on Canada Goose. Also nice to be a little different from the scores of people wearing North Face in the Northeast.

Burberry London Wool & Cashmere Coat

I have ne'er spent this a lot of on consumer goods, but boy, is that this coat price it! I ordered this one and also the Brit banded coat for comparison, and this one was a transparent winner - the material is far softer, therefore the coat skims the body far better than the all-wool ones. Also, due to the cashmere mix, it is not fidgety. The filler is ideal too. i am 5'3" and one zero five lbs, and typically wear a size zero, 0P, or 00, and ordered the tiniest out there size in two. i used to be a little involved that it might be overlarge, however the shoulder fits dead, and also the sleeve and coat lengths hit the higher a part of my hands and right on top of my knees. I can not be happier with this purchase. the colour black makes it the proper, fashionable and classic coat that i'll keep forever.

Calvin Klein Packable Anorak with Hidden Hood (Nordstrom Exclusive)

I bought this coat on sale last winter for studying abroad in Europe. I really love the look of the coat. I am usually between a S and a M, and went with the M so I had plenty of room to layer underneath. It is a great shell and really helps cut the wind, but I have found it to be pretty lousy if it is raining at a pace even slightly more than a drizzle. I rode my bike a lot while abroad and I would get pretty wet, and the cold would reach my clothes underneath pretty quickly. So if you are hoping for a water resistant coat and a shell, you will be disappointed.

Dooney & Bourke Patent Leather Satchel

Dooney & Burke is my go-back-to-bag. Functional, endures daily wear to the office and good pricing for those of us not able to afford a Ferragamo bag! A wise rich man once told me "always buy the most expensive accessoriesyou can" and it will carry the outfit. This bag does wonders to a simple black dress. I purchased mine in black glossy patent leather.
