Orange Pullover Anorak from Filson: Things I Want

Over the weekend I was in Atlanta and had the pleasure of stopping by Sid Mashburn. The one, the only. While the trip was meant to shop for others and not myself (in which I was strangely successful), I did spot a fantastic piece of outerwear that I'd love as Fall approaches.

This pullover anorak from Filson, when styled with the blue gingham shirt (and in my case finished out with some wool pants and Gucci loafers), definitely came across as a more stylish piece of rain gear.

I loved how many pockets there were, and the adjustable cuffs would definitely come in handy for layering.

While I couldn't find this piece on the Sid Mashburn site, it's easy to find if you're in Atlanta and go into the store. Otherwise Filson's website stocks it in two colors (although I prefer the more unusual orange).

Topman Design Fall 2013: Things I Love

The London Men's Collections have kicked off, showing Fall 2013 today from a variety of designers. While I'm unfortunately not in London, I did stay tuned throughout the day from various press sources. 

One of shows with some standout looks came from Topman Design. Not a brand I've shopped too much in the past, but have definitely had my eye on -- and this monochromatic styling could be fun for next Fall. Some of my favorites below...

First, I'm all about winter whites. So bring on this cream jacket and turtleneck, paired with stark white pants. While I'm not sure I could pull off the drop crotch/tucked into boots look, I'll definitely do the top half.

Also really enjoyed this shock of orange! It was a color seen a few places in today's London shows and I like pulling it all together like this.

The big collar of this coat is speaking to me -- I'm on the hunt right now for a winter coat with a huge enveloping collar (realize I'm late to just now be shopping for cold weather gear), so this one might be a good get for next Fall.

One of my resolutions for 2013 was to wear more suits, and another was to buy more double-breasted jackets. With that in mind, this look stood out -- knowing it'll be price-conscious but with European tailoring that will help when you're looking for a slim fit.

The kind folks at Topman sent over all of the looks from the show, but you can also find them at Fucking Young.

Things I Want: Coat from Prada

What a great coat for next Fall! From Prada's Fall 2010 collection there were quite a few pieces I liked. The short sweaters with the rounded neck were also a favorite (I am particular to the one in watermelon).

But the item I liked the best was this jacket. The blue + orange pattern plays so well, it's eye-catching but not overly loud.
