WINTER TEXTURES: SUEDE SKIRT AND TEDDY COAT

The Steele Maiden: Winter Neutrals - Suede Skirt and Teddy Coat

I’ll be the first to admit, winter style is not exactly my favorite thing. But since we’re really just now getting in to it and spring still seems ages away, I’ve resolved to try my best to come up with practical yet fun/interesting/stylish options to share with you all. The first being this suede skirt and teddy coat combo.

BEST OF: FALL SALES

Fall Sale Instagram Round Up

As I’m writing this I’m curled up by the fire at my parent’s house in PA. Which basically is the very coziest way to spend a Sunday. Another good way to spend the afternoon? Online shopping. There are some killer sales happening right now which is perfectly timed since the weather looks like we’ll be saying goodbye to bare legs and light jackets very soon. Below a few of my favorites..

Anthropologie – Sales are few and far between here, but this weekend they’re offering 20% off all full-priced apparel w/ code FALLFUN. I’m wearing this dark orange turtleneck in photo 4 above and am obsessing over this vest.

French Connection – Save 30% off all coats and jackets with code FC30CJ – I wear this denim jacket (in photos 3 and 5) constantly and swear I’m going to finally pull the trigger on this leather moto jacket today.

LOFT – 40% off sweaters and tops – this slouchy sweater would get a ton of wear and I love the mixed print on this top.

J.Crew – 30% off outerwear, sweaters, shirts and t-shirts w/ code LAYERUP – now would be a great time to purchase a winter coat like this one or this one.

Ruche –  Extra 40% off sale items with code EXTRA40 – I’m loving this marigold color for Fall and this floral dress would be so pretty paired with tights and a berry lipstick.

Nine West – 40% off select fall styles – these black pointy toe boots add instant chic (shown in photo 6) and these Chelsea boots are a total wardrobe classic.

Madewell – Extra 40% off sale items with code EXTRA40 – this cardigan (shown in photo 1) is a total steal and I’ve worn it at least once a week since picking it up and this plaid scarf would add a cozy touch to any outfit.

Talbots – 30-40% off select fall styles – I’ve been loving this teal slouchy sweater paired with this paisley scarf and this quilted cross-body bag (shown in photo 2) has been a favorite of mine so far this Fall.

NYFW SURVIVAL GUIDE

The Steele Maiden NYFW Survival Guide

The first time I attended NYFW it was held at Bryant Park – I was 20 years old, interning for designer Nanette Lepore and dressing models backstage.  Many years later, a few venues and about a hundred blisters later.. I like to think I’ve learned a thing or two about how to get through this wild week in one piece. These days I’m lucky enough to be reporting from backstage rather than frantically dressing girls a foot taller than me – but no matter what situation I find myself in I’ve narrowed a list of things that will help me survive it in style.
