Favorite Fall Coats

{Saint Laurent Wool Duffle Coat $2720 vs J.Crew Colorblock Duffle Coat $350}

Nothing says fall like a brand new coat. Since I spend most of my days kicking around town with kids in tow I need something warm and comfortable. Pockets are always preferred since I seem to be the receptacle of choice for candy wrappers, acorn collections, and discarded hair ties. It also must be chic enough to make my usual attire of sweaters and jeans look pulled together. I love the idea of a duffle coat this year. Perfect with skinny jeans and Chuck Taylors and equally as good with wide leg pants and platform boots in the evening. The Saint Laurent featured above is stunning – but the J.Crew is super-wearable and more budget friendly. The Duffle is nautical. It’s slightly preppy. And it’s so very current. It’s now been moved to the top of my list. Santa, are you paying attention???

And the inspiration…
