When we think of statement pieces, an ‘It’ bag or standout necklace are usually the first things that come to mind. But a statement coat?! Now that’s rare. There aren’t many fall and winter coats that look different from the usual – khaki trenches or black wool peacoats are the standards. But Kelly Wearstler’s Horizon Coat is a nice break from the norm. This stylish...

Haute buy: Current/Elliott ‘The Perfect Shirt’ denim shirt
What goes around comes back around again and right now it’s the denim shirt. A denim shirt is super versatile – it can be worn casually with colored denim or even another shade of blue jeans; with leather leggings for a rocker look, or paired with a short print skirt or even over a maxi dress. The right denim shirt is one that’s not too crisp; rather it’s slightly slouchy and...

Haute Splurge: Halston Leather mini dress
This back and forth weather leaves us scratching our heads most days. “Should I wear a jacket and boots?” “Or should I go with sandals and a skirt?” “Do I need to carry an umbrella?” The weather is hot then it’s cold and it’s not as fun as the Katy Perry song. So we’re saying “Forget you” (thank you Cee-Lo) to the weather and just wearing...
