8 COATS TO CONSIDER FOR FALL AND WINTER : WOMENS

So, just like that the weather is back to brisk. So now its time to throw away all your tank tops and save up for a nice coat or leather that will keep you from freezing your ass off. I finally purchased this Zara coat that I featured a few posts earlier, and I'm absolutely in love with it, even more when I'm wearing it. Out of all the pieces I picked out I'm probably most obsessed with the Proenza Schouler placket coat due to its really unique cut and graphic print on the front. 2nd place goes to the Acne Studios shearling jacket at a whopping $2500. Either way, theeir all great coats and all from SSENSE. BTW, don't forget to vote for me in the Mr. Porter Global Style Competition!

MY 3.1 PHILLIP LIM X TARGET WISHLIST

            I don't think I've EVER been so excited for such a collaboration since the LANVIN X H&M collaboration ( which was short lived since I worked at H&M and had to deal with the crazy antics of those killing to own a piece). It looks like such a stylish collection, and the ad campaigns in magazines are definitely presenting the collection as essential pieces by dividing it into a morning, noon and night story. What appeals to me the most is the styling, since when worn together, the looks create really interesting lines and shapes and the details become more apparent. Below are my three picks, and you can click here to stay updated on the collection when it releases on September 15th. I never knew why my city decided to plop a Target down the block from my house, but obviously now I know they were thinking about me :D.

THE TOP 10 MENS BAGS FROM SSENSE.COM

SO.... I'm not much of a man bag kinda guy, but for some reason this season designers are putting out some of the best bags I've seen in a while... pieces that are more desirable to me than sneakers (and sneakers are a OBSESSION of mine.).I'm looking for another manbag myself since I kinda want something a little fresher than the Jack Spade bag I've carried around for almost 2 years. The menswear handbags have shapes that are more masculine and in darker, more textured leathers that don't come off as feminine, which is a plus because I (and most men) probably won't want to walk around with a Pink Birkin with heart charms falling from the clasp.Another twist is backpack styles that have prints, unique-shaped pocket and zipper placements, and more camper backpack styles (wider, more rectangular styles opposed to standard vertical shapes). Of course I'm a SSENSE fanatic, so below are the top 10 mens bags from them that I'm sure will not last for sale season.
