Maven pick: Wrapped up in this coat from Year One


Good morning, Monday. Up and at 'em again and again and again...ps it's Christmas. Banana Republic by Grand Central is blasting holiday music and every website is already stocked with gift sets and holiday festoonery. Oy. Too soon.

Like most of you, I'm weather obsessed and these balmy temps are not long for the season. I noticed a big dip in the mercury this week and needless to say, my mind is on a good coat.

Coats are difficult for me. It's hard to find a good fit when you have anything more than a flat chest. I'm serious. And the other thing that drives me crazy is that feeling of being sausaged into a down coat as you sweat to death on the subway. Not fun for anyone.

So when I saw this coat on No.6's site I fell in love.  I have not yet seen it in person so can't vouch for how warm it is, but love the duvet like feel of it- looks oversized in the coolest of ways. I'd opt for the black naturally, but also like it in that happy orange color. They also have a shorter version in the pink but longer coats are warmer and that's that. I'd throw this on for early mornings to the gym and know that all my layers would fit underneath it too. Oh and the name? The Happy Coat. I so need that in my life right now. (Don't we all though?)

PS- check out the brand's website- they're from East London and I'm loving their vibe. 

Thought you would enjoy a little coat action on this Monday am. Cause that's what's up this covered up kind of Monday in the 212. Yours, in all wrapped up for the holidays. XO
