I don’t think Uniqlo always nails their collaborations, but they have knocked it out of the park with the one that was just launched with Marimekko, and I’m interrupting my Thanksgiving break to bring it to you now because it is selling out fast. This puffer, for instance, is just insanely cute, and is already gone in many sizes, so hop to it if you’re interested.
This ultra-light down parka is pretty good too, and would look great layered under a coat.
OK guys, I’m taking off for the holiday, which I will be enjoying at my brother’s place in Brooklyn. And because it has been proven that the more we focus on gratitude the happier we are, I thought I might—as I always do—ask you to tell me what you’re feeling grateful for (and what you’re doing for the holiday) and share what I am too. This year I’m feeling especially grateful for females who have kicked ass: Greta Thunberg, Fiona Hill, the American women’s soccer team, and the mighty RBG, who just keeps rolling along. And while we’re on the topic of righteous ladies, I’m also feeling grateful for for my mom, who, at 82, gets more done in a day than people half her age, and inspires me constantly. And the boyfriend, Seth, who makes me feel loved and safe and amuses the hell out of me on the regular. And my brothers, who are always there for me, and my friends, who are too, and the dogs, who just never quit. And all of you, of course, and the lively, funny, smart and supportive community you’ve built here. OK, now it’s your turn. See you back here bright and early Monday.
A number of you have been after me to cover this category, sooner than later, so here you go. I often default to black when it comes to choosing a color for my puffer, but I very much like this oversized army green one from Acne Studios. I also like that you have the option to cinch the waist if you so choose.
That’s real shearling on the collar of this military-ish number, which is on the splurgy side but is also marked down.
A very Chanel-ish number that would be great for layering under a coat.
This very stylish and surprisingly cheap jacket was the best-selling item I featured on GOACA last year. Now they’ve made it in a really good red, and I’m not certain I can resist.
I’m kind of nuts for the fun colorblock on this one from Kule.
And this one looks very excellently like ski jackets people wore back in the 70s. I also like the combination of brown and powder blue.
I’m intrigued by Down Official, a brand-new direct-to-consumer outerwear brand, and this is their debut women’s jacket, which is purportedly super, super-warm, and has a removable faux fur hood and shell.
The collar on this Cos jacket is really smart, as is the silhouette.
But I may want this denim puffer even more—it’s just so cool.
I like the retroish print on this corduroy option from Madewell.
The quilting on this one is slightly nuts, but I kind of love it. And I’m very much liking the bright, saturated blue too.
Here’s one that’ll be desperately warm—it’s The North Face, after all. And it’d be ideal for runners, I think, because it’s so cropped.
I like the tie-fastenings and off-kilter collar here.
The exterior of this funnel-neck coat is made of recycled nylon.
And finally: this Stella McCartney for Adidas puffer is sold out in some sizes, but I had to show it anyway, because I think the little details—like the big pockets and slightly off-to-the-side zipper—are really good.
