Funnel Neck Coat by Chulo Pony

cponyfunnelneck.jpg

We think that a red coat is fun and every woman should have one to spice up their outfits and make a splash when entering the room. The Funnel Neck Coat by Chulo Pony has an orange tinge, so it works great during the fall too. This coat has a waffled texture, a snap funnel neck, matching buttons down the front, front pockets, bell sleevves with foldover and pleating details, a pleated skirt in the back, and a matching built in belt. It's also lined and made from a wool, lambs wool, cashmere, and nylon mix. It's also available in white.

Accessory Friday - Paper Planet

paperplanet.jpg

Have you noticed that Accessory Friday now includes almost anything except shirts? We've shown our readers a lot of jewelry this fall, so today we've found something different. Paper Planet has some amazing candle holders that we really want. According to their Etsy site, each one is handcrafted using "glass votive holders, semi-transparent handmade papers, and pressed naturals. Because both the handmade papers and the naturals used to create Earth Lights are unique, no two candle holders are alike." They sell out quickly, so instead of linking to our favorites which could be gone by the time you read this, just go to their store and look around. They also sell pretty bookmarks, jewelry, and more.

Thanks to Funky Finds!

Solid Wool Felt Coat by Marc by Marc Jacobs

marcwoolfelt.jpg

Here's our favorite peacoat of the year! The Solid Wool Felt Coat by Marc by Marc Jacobs is a double breasted felt coat with vertical pockets at the front, six buttons down the front, a notched collar, storm flap at the back, and long sleeves. It's also lined. We love the blue fox color since it's different than every other coat out there, but washed ink melange is nice too.

Belted Car Coat by Milly

millybeltedcar.jpg

Our loyal readers have probably noticed that we don't show animal prints here at Shirt Snob. Honestly, we don't really like them. We are going to today though, possibly for the first time because the print on the Belted Car Coat by Milly is gorgeous and not too animally for us. It has oversized black buttons, a removable belt, and two front pockets. It's also 100% wool and is lined.

Foiled Camisole by Rebecca Taylor

rtaylorfoiled.jpg

This is probably our favorite metallic top we've seen all year! The Foiled Camisole by Rebecca Taylor has pleating at the front, ruching and a bow at the back, adjustable spaghetti straps that cross in the back, and a lining. It's simple and pretty, and we love how the print is metallic but the rest isn't. It's be great for New Year's Eve if you are still in need of a top for that night.

The designer is a scientist turned artist, and her pieces are both aesthetically pleasing and have functions that suggest a symbolic meaning. Some of our favorites at this store include the Science Bracelet, the Estrogen Necklace, the Chocolate Theobromine Molecule Earrings, and the Serotonin Necklace.

Red Sox Tee

wediditagain.gif

Our apologies if you don't care, but we were more than a little excited back in October when the Red Sox won the World Series. We just found the We Did It Again tee, and we had to write about it. This short sleeve shirt has 07 on the lest sleeve, and the words are written in Swarovski crystal. A portion of each sale also goes to Curt Schillings' Pitch for ALS and the SHADE Foundation. So you can totally justify buying this awesome tee if you are a fan. Sizes run small, so if in doubt buy a size up.
