Color Block Done Right – Two Tone Coat for Fall & Winter

Another fall (but feels like winter) work outfit!  A mix of blues balanced by deep crimson reds.

Color blocking is a fun trend that comes back every year.  More present in spring/summer styles with hues of orange, yellow, and red.  For fall, the tones are deeper.  I love this color block coat, because it’s anchored by a fall color and yet feels light with the dash of light blue.

I thought it’d be fun to do a pre-shopping edit for YOU before you have to do your holiday shopping for others.  With winter basically here now and coat season among us, I put together a collection of pre-loved designer coats for your viewing pleasure.  From Chanel to Chloe to Valentino, all of these coats and outerwear pieces are under $500 (original price up to $thousands).  I stalk these brands all of the time on sites like The Real Real, and love sharing great finds when I come across beautiful outerwear pieces (like is Burberry military coat and Sacai Luck chic cape that I got for a steal!).

In addition to pre-loved and vintage coats, one of my favorite ways to spice up cold weather dressing is with fun color blocking.  Great to layer with simple neutral outfits and so harmonious when matched with similar hue stories.  For this look, I kept the color palette to blues and burgundies.  But alone, I’ve worn this coat casually with jeans and a black v-neck sweater, and it’s so easy to dress up.  A tailored suit or lace dress complements it perfectly.  With this fun trend, I included some of my favorite coats and sweaters below.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
