Modcloth - The Astor Trench ($99.99)

There are so many nice things about this trench coat that I hardly know where to begin. Let's start at the top and move our way to the bottom. I do love a white coat but they're hardly practical, with all the oh sitting and stuff I need to do, but this coat combines the beauty of white with the practicality of a darker color where the coat may get dirty. So smart! The thoughtful details aren't overwhelming and it has a really nice silhouette that would look good on anyone large to small (which is convenient since it's still available in those sizes!).

Michael Antonio Kenna Shoes ($44.97)

I'm looking for some bright heels to wear with a simple black dress to a company holiday party, and these blue beauties from Shiekh shoes just might do it. Black and blue don't usually go, but this blue is bright enough that I think they'd be a nice surprise for the eye if they happen to look down that low. I especially like the extra strap - they would be sort of hoochie without it. Another plus is that with the 4.5" heel, I'll be a whopping 5'7"!
