Quilted Coats

Quilted coats are a great staple for southern fall and winter. Clearly it's only STARTING to get cold here in SC, and my folks in Maryland have had a relatively mild winter as well. There's no need to break out my big North Face parka that has all kinds of contraptions that can zip into it to make it warmer. Instead I've been donning my trusty Lilly quilted coat from a few years ago that I snagged on sale:

I like to fold up the sleeves to a bracelet length so the floral underside is exposed! 

A girl walked into the store the other day with the CUTEST C. Wonder quilted coat:

It also comes in khaki, orange and green, but she looked so great in the navy! It was slightly tailored at the back and wasn't so bulky like some quilted coats can be.

I love the red color of this Barbour jacket! Barbour is an obvious choice for jackets, and this red one is too much fun. I love this for fall Gamedays too!

LL Bean is a tried and true preppy staple. Classic lines with a clean shape, Bean quality is unmatched. Unfortunately this one isn't available online, but I'd sure be hunting for this if there was an LLBean by me!

 This winter white quilted coat is the closest match I could find for my jacket--they both have belts and a diamond quilted pattern!

Do you have a go-to light jacket for before real winter strikes?

Bracelet Mania

What are some of your go-to Christmas gifts? Enamel bracelets are among my favorites. There are so many choices and you can even personalize them for a more special gift!

C. Wonder has these enamel bracelets that are PERFECT for a gift for friends and sisters. I love the way this stack looks when they're all together. Shimmery, shiny, and colorful enamel, what's a better combo than that?

This Target bracelet looks like a much, much more expensive designer known for clover bracelets and necklaces. It's only $40 from Target--can you believe that?!

Although a little later in the season, this Gameday bracelet is PERFECT! It's even on sale!

Kenneth Jay Lane is always a favorite, and this floral and pearl design is a KJL classic. I imagine this with anything from a black shift to your favorite Lilly!

This "Heart of Gold" one from Kate Spade is perfect for anyone close to your heart! What a sweet way to tell someone you're thinking of them!

What do you like to give as gifts? These are some great suggestions if you need a little help during this upcoming holiday season--it'll be here before you know it! Isn't that how it always happens?!
