Coats are having a moment. In New England we are reluctantly embracing the cold that's quickly approaching. I love the Fall. I am also one of those crazy people who likes to bundle up with a fantastic coat, boots, hat, and a big, cozy scarf. I guess that's what makes me a true New England gal and I am OK with it.

My fellow New England gals understand that the coat is part of their uniform - what they wear to commute, to head into the office, to meet friends for drinks, go on a romantic date, or attend that fabulous holiday party - it's the first thing people see. And it should make a statement and they should feel special wearing it - with just enough pizazz to for a distinct point of difference, but also timeless enough to transcend seasons....

Here are my top coats as we head into winter, no matter what your budget!
