8 COATS TO CONSIDER FOR FALL AND WINTER: MENS

        So what is a mens jacket without a HOOD! Personally, I love the option of hiding into a warm (hopefully lined) hood, which ups the comfort factor and gives me the impression that I never left my warm bed, even in the soon to come North Pole weather conditions. Marc by Marc Jacobs has probably the two best styles, the leather bomber jacket being my personal favorite, and Burberry's duffle coat has that nifty little patch that I believe covers your mouth for even more anti-cold combat. All from Mr. Porter shop shop shop! Don't forget to vote for me in their Gloabl Style Competition!

So since the sale ends at 11:59 tonight, here's your head start to the best of the best.

THE BEST BOMBER JACKETS FROM ASOS.COM

           So, my obsession with bomber jackets started when at the beginning of the summer, I told myself I'd switch my summer style from last season wearing tank tops every day to short sleeve shirts and bomber jackets. My first one was from ASOS, a new fashion  discovery i learned about during one of my old jobs. I soon found out that not only was it a more broad (in a good way ) version of Urban Outfitters, but they're own brand they sell on the website has some really amazing pieces. What I love about the bomber jacket is it can be dressed up or dressed down, and in recent years it's definitely broadened out the basic varsity jacket confines. Since I definitely feel ASOS men carries THE LARGEST selection of bombers I've seen on a single website, below are my picks for the best they have to offer ( and a pic of me wearing mine at Le Bain in NYC). Be sure to sign up for their emails, because when you get that ASOS coupon code, it DEFINITELY chops off that little extra that makes you turn a maybe into a hell yes.

PERFECT PICK: LADY GAGA APPLAUSE SINGLE COVER

There it is. The single cover for Lady Gaga's new single "Applause" from her album ARTPOP. I personally think its a very well art directed album cover. The typograhy on the bottom reminds me of the same typeface used on Prince's "Purple Rain artwork, and the styling of the photograph is similar to Dior Haute Couture circa 2003.
