Classiques Entier Leather Trench

Who could pass up this variation on the oh-so-classic trench coat? In spite of its classic cut, this Classiques Entier Leather Trench gives off a slight vintage vibe with its wide collar, large buttons, and rich color.  The length of this jacket (hits mid-thigh) makes it ultra versatile while the soft leather renders it ultra durable.

The back belt tunnel pictured above adds a clean touch that also ensures the belt stays put.  Fabulous details aside, perhaps what grabbed me most about this trench is its rich caramel color.  With so much black and gray in store for the fall, this warm color stands out…in a good way.

Get your Classiques Entier Leather Trench for $450 at Nordstrom, a worthy investment for such a classic (with a vintage twist!) jacket.

Sarah Jessica Parker’s BITTEN Collection

When Sarah Jessica Parker launched her BITTEN fashion line this summer, I thought I was losing my hearing when she announced that everything in the collection is under $20.  Available exclusively at Steve and Barry’s stores, the BITTEN collection largely reflects Sarah Jessica Parker’s personal style and offers everything from jeans to suit separates.  Sweaters, tops, jackets, dresses, bags, jewelry, and shoes are also part of the collection and range in size from XS-XXL in tops, 0-22 in bottoms, and 5-11 in shoes.  Why did Parker name the collection BITTEN?  Apparently, Parker was "bitten by the Steve and Barry’s bug" the first time she walked into a Steve and Barry’s store and her reaction subsequently became the name of the collection.  I, for one, am grateful to Sarah Jessica Parker for designing a fashionable, wearable, yet affordable collection accessible to all women.  Who doesn’t love a bargain? Get ‘bitten’ by Sarah Jessica Parker’s new BITTEN fall collection at a Steve and Barry’s near you.
