Good morning, Monday. I was up wayyyyyyy early to get to work today, after a lovely weekend with my sister spent running around the city and feeling super lightheaded in Uniqlo. That store will do a girl in- it's hot, crowded, and full of deals. Perhaps worth it, but still...
So Fall is well on the way, though it's warm here in New York you just know the change is gonna come. We got a taste last week, but all of these thoughts of crunchy leaves, fireplace smells from dimly lit brownstones, and cinnamon spiced afternoons makes me want a new coat. And since I've faced the fact that I'm all about nesting, cocooning, and generally laying low of late, I very much covet this coat from Acne, a brand I'm pretty obsessed with in general for their cool Swede street style appeal. I'm bats for their Sasha wool coat, which I spotted on Refinery 29 this morning. I can't even. It's the amazing non technicolor coat of my dreams. And it's got that 90s Belgian vibe to boot.
This coat speaks to the fact that I want to be not just warm, but covered the hell up. I love the loose and boyish silhouette, the cozy shape, and the fact that this piece will fit beautifully over any kind of thick wool situation you throw under it. I love a coat to get lost in, and this coat is the one. It's simple and cool and classic all at once. I want to live in it. I enjoy a slouchy and relaxed coat- nothing worse than being overly bundled in a wool straitjacket. Nothing.
And that my friends, is what's up this woolen and warm Monday in the 212. Have fabulous day, link below to the coat. XO
