Inspired By Obedient Sons & Daughters Spring 2009

We love a monochromatic look and this one, as was part of the Obedient Sons & Daughters Spring 2009 collection, tops our list. We love the boyishness of this buttoned up shirt, especially because it's paired with sexy platform sandals. Above, some alternative options to get this look now at a slightly lower price point--although, we wouldn't blame you if you waited for the real thing.

Warm Outerwear Options We Love

It's that time of year again, when our desire to be fashionable takes a backseat to our cold ears, fingers, and toes. There are, of course, warm options that are still quite affordable and chic--though you may not call them runway-ready. Our favorites places to find warm outerwear on the cheap? Penfield, the company who probably makes your boyfriend's flannel makes one warm winter coat--this Grey Novi Coat is worth the $200. Topshop has an entire range of winter sport-ready garments, called SNO, and this Ski All-In-One for $310 is our favorite because it looks like a sleeping bag with sleeves. The Gap has had affordable puffer coats for as long as we can remember and this Shiny Puffer Coat for $39.99 is a modern take on their classic. It might be midseason and you might want to save your cash for all of the great sale items available online, but there's no need to do it in the cold!
