Paul & Joe & Sister

Now that temperatures are cooling, it's time for layers and more layers. And of course, what winter ensemble is complete without an coat? While black, brown, and navy are safe choices, there's no rule against bright coats in November.

Paul & Joe's Winter 2010 collection featured bright buttoned and toggled coats in three beautiful hues. All three hues are a dream in technicolor, and I'd happily sport any one of these cheery garments.

 

I think my favorite is the bright turquoise "Poppy". It's very unexpected, but the structure of the front panel balances the playful color. The buttons have a small gold detail, which provides the perfect finishing touch.

I'm also newly enamored with Paul & Joe's Sister line. It has a more youthful vibe befitting its name.

While less vibrant than the "Poppy" coat, the lovely shade of the "Ruban" is nonetheless eye-catching. The bow on the back is a sweet touch.

Finally, how adorable is this cape? It's loose, yet structured shape, the pockets, and toggles pair beautifully together.

Color beats the cold any day :)
