Have you started to look for “the” winter coat yet? Still not sure which trends need to be in the coat for everyone to stop, stare, and ask you, “Where did you get that coat? I have to have one.

Nordstrom 

Look no further then the Tory Burch Annabel Ruffled Leather Coat from Nordstrom. Not only does it cinch in right where every girl needs it to, right at the hip, but it also has the perfect ruffle. The ruffle isn’t so big that you look like a pirate, but it isn’t so small that you have to point out to your friends that there is a ruffle accent on the coat. The coat has even more detail than the ruffles, with buttons on the cuffs.

It is currently in the pre-order stages at Nordstrom. It is $850 and comes in sizes 0-14.

If you you want something a little less trendy then this nipped in ruffled coat, try the Elizabeth and James “Elizabeth” Shrunken Leather Blazer (also from Nordstrom) for $495.

Tory Burch has to be one of my favorite designers. The colors, the designs, the colors, I love them all. That’s why, when I found out that Neiman Marcus is having a Truck Show for her Fall stuff, I jumped at the chance to look at all the fabulously stuff. These were a few of my favorite items from the Fall line, take a look.

Neiman Marcus

Jaden Small Tote

I adore safari colors. These types of colors, like the cardinal red of this purse transition so well from Summer into Fall/Winter. This bag, of course, I am infatuated with as well. The Jaden Small Tote comes in the cardinal red, real khaki, or black cotton twill canvas. The handles are made of vegan leather for all you Green folks out there. It is $195.

Melrose Suede Booties

Surprise! Booties haven’t gone out of style this season. It sure looks like I may be buying some booties this fall. These Melrose Suede booties come in the black (as pictured) or a coconut white. Each color has a gold detail and a 4″ 1/2 inch heel. The toe is rounded so they may be a bit more comfy. They are $395.

Neiman Marcus

Augustin Dress

Holy unstructured dress! I love you Tory, but the day that I wear one of your unstructured beautiful dresses will be the day I lose my hips, only weigh 90 pounds and am married to a millionaire. I am in love with them though! And this Augustin dress is no exception. Adding the belt in the middle gives me a tad more structure and the pattern pumps up the personality. The dress is $425.

Simone Cardigan

If I’m going to pick up anything from this Truck Show it’s going to be this Cardigan. I will wear a cardigan every day of the week in the Fall if I have different colors. This one is no exception. The bright pink is awesome! The grandpa cardigan has obviously transitioned to Fall 2009, and I am stoked! This cardigan is

Fashion Police sirens were blaring earlier this week when Pamela Anderson strutted her stuff down the “Red” Carpet for the grand opening for the Grand Opening of restaurant in New York City. But, why, would the fashion Police be following around Pamela Anderson? Umm..because they’re always following her around. 

Did you catch this hideous outfit? Pam, darling, you’re a mother. You may still be a “babe” to some people, but you are not strutting your stuff down the beaches of Baywatch anymore. Put the girls back in the top and learn that hot pants are not one of the trends that will be making a comeback with the scarf and neon colors. Thanks! 

I do not, by any means, have the style sense to be Stacey London or Clinton Kelly from What Not To Wear, but I do know that a Bermuda short would be better for her…any time of day. Actually, a Bermuda short (walking short, cropped pant, whatever you should call it) is good for almost anyone. Just find the perfect fit. She should try these Tory Burch Bermuda shorts from Neiman Marcus.

They have a back pocket (which we know draws attention to everyone’s assets in the back), and has a frayed leg so it’s not too boring. They’re $165.
