We’ve reached that point in the year where it’s time to start bundling (remind me again how we got to November so quickly?). I’m thinking about finally replacing my winter coat this season, so I’ve been keeping my eye out for some stylish and affordable options. Here are 10 coats that I’m loving, from top to bottom:
01. Vero Moda Smart Wool Mix Coat– I’ve been really into this marled pattern this season. It’s very similar to the texture of my sweatshirt, but in coat form.
02. ‘Emma’ Menswear Coat– I’m totally digging this borrowed-from-the-boys option.
03. Long Bouclé Coat– I’ve always secretly wanted a white coat, even though they’re not very practical. Plus Olivia Pope made white coats so popular, and who doesn’t want to be Olivia Pope?
04. New Look Funnel Coat– I like the idea of having a pastel colored coat and I think this icy blue is perfect for the colder months.
05. ‘Long and Lean’ Overcoat– Every fall, all I want is burgundy everything.
06. New Look Check Collarless Coat– This coat is just adorable. Actually, I’d like that entire outfit the model is wearing, please and thank you.
07. New Look Checked Coat– I also like this darker checked coat. You know what, I think I’d like a scarf version of this coat!
08. Faux Leather-Trimmed Marled Coat– Love the leather accents, love the marled texture, love the price.
09. Skirted Wool Blend Coat– I think skirted coats are so ladylike and pretty.
10. Tinley Road Shades of Gray– So chic. I love that it incorporates two different shades of gray. It’s a fun detail, but the overall coat is still neutral and easy to wear.
Tell me: Which one is your favorite?
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

How terrible is it that I want to run out and buy all of these? I need this many coats, right?

Me too! I only have a couple coats really and I feel like they’re so drab.
These are wonderful! And so budget friendly. Mi favorite is the light blue one!
Thank you! I love the light blue- I think it’s such a pretty color :)
great picks. I especially adore the checked coat. Great pattern!

Thank you! I’m really into that checked pattern this season :)
GET IT AWAYYYY.
You know how much of a problem I have with outerwear… I’d buy a coat every week if I could!
Haha, well you do have really great outerwear! I’m envious :)
Why is it that the grey coats look the warmest? Is that just me?
Good luck with your outerwear search! I don’t need another coat, but if I found the perfect black or navy pea coat, I would not say no.

Thanks Lydia! I think it’s time for me to invest in a nice, warm, non-black winter coat :)
I love #4, the color is just perfect especially to break up all the winter blacks. I also love #8! Such great picks.

Thank you Jessica! I like the colorful coat too for standing out in the sea of black, just like you said :)
All of these are so cute, especially that pale blue funnel coat. Love the idea of pastels for winter. Good luck in the coat hunt!
Me too! So different from the typical winter colors that you see :)
These coats are gorgeous! My favorites are the first one and the whole last row! I don’t need a new coat though, so I am going to resist the urge to buy one of these!
I hope you had a great weekend!

Thank you Jessica! I did have a good weekend :) I hope you had a great weekend as well!
Your blog template and posts are so warm and inviting.
Thank you so much :) I actually just tweaked my blog design a little last night, so I’m extra happy to hear that!
