Dream coats

I'm obsessed with Givenchy's pre-Fall 2011 collection, particularly the outerwear pieces. The mixed-material layering of wool, leather, nylon and fur is genius and the neutral, military-inspired color palette is absolutely perfect.

I would kill to have just one of these pieces in my wardrobe, but alas, I probably can't afford any of them. I will, however, be on a serious hunt for some structural wool vests and blazers in shades of olive, khaki and navy to layer during this freezing cold weather. Luckily, there are actually a lot of great coat options on sale right now. Here are a few of my favorites at the moment...

1. Opening Ceremony Veda coat, $288.  2. Tokio coat, $208.80.  3. ADAM blazer, $197.50.  4. Armand Basi cape, $249.15.  5. Richard Chai Love jacket, $139.  6. Topshop cape, $160.  7. Topshop leather jacket, $250.  8. Saratoga Stakes blazer, $114.99.
