Rain, Rain, Go Away

It has been raining ALL day in Dallas so I have been putting my raincoats to good use. I actually wear jackets year round, rain or no rain, so adding more to my wardrobe would be money well spent. I have also spotted a few new ones I might need to add to my collection...

Vineyard Vines Nor'Easter ($245)

When I saw this darling PINK thing at St. Bernard Sports this past Fall I hurried over and immediately fell in love. This is perfect for the cool rainy days and the color will brighten even the gloomiest of gloom!

Ann Taylor Loft Drawstring Anorak ($128)

I tried this on at Ann Taylor Loft recently and might just need it! It is the PERFECT coat for travel- great length, waterproof, not too raincoat looking, can even be dressed up. I am still debating what color would be best though...

Land's End SunShower Coat ($70)

You know I LOVE orange! I love a good Mac coat, they are wonderful for travel as well. This color is another way to add a bit of fun to any outfit. When traveling, especially overseas, it is best to pack loads of basics and just a few punches of color (scarves, comfortable shoes and a jacket).

Talbot's Belted Anorak ($129)

I now some people consider Talbots t be only for grandmothers, but I have found SO many darling items there I KNOW that is not the case! This it another fab Talbots find! This looks cute unzipped for everyday wear and zipped up when the sky opens up. Plus, the color can again NOT be beat!

Burberry Hooded Rain Jacket ($695)

This is one of my current rain jackets and I simply adore it! The hood is detachable so it is more versatile. For this reason it is also another fabulous travel jacket.

I think the pink one from Talbots is very cute. I love the color. Talbots has really pepped up their step! I have also found many cute things there lately.

For some reason I'm seeing you in the orange. The happy look, I guess.

Great Picks Hopsy.
I think Talbots must have some new buyers, because I have been shopping there again.
It got really frumpy for a while, but it just goes to show one should never give up on a good classic brand.

Talbots isn't only for grandmothers! Actually it's one of the very few places where I, my 20something daughter, and my 81 year old mother can all shop.

Here's another vote for the Talbots coat. The color is gorgeous. I've also had good luck at Talbots and especially appreciate the petite sizes for pants because I'm only 5'4". Have a wonderful day.

Love the Lands End one! It's so classic, and even though I'm not usually an orange girl, I love it in this case.

My mom loves Talbots! I also like the Land's End jacket and it is at a really good price!

Annie said...

I have the Vineyard Vines jacket and it is amazing. Fleece lined pockets!!!

Buckhead Belle said...

Cute! That Ann Taylor Loft one is so precious... adding that my list as well. I have been on the hunt for a cute yellow raincoat for spring. I have a jacket from J. Crew that is almost identical to the Talbots one and I get a ton of compliments every time I wear it!

OOOH, I like the VV one. And of course, I love the Burberry one too!

Black Labs and Lilly said...

The VV is one of my choices in the arsenal of coats I seem to have assembled! Its the perfect color to brighten up spirts on cold and wet days!

Worthington said...

Hopsy! I LOVE Talbots. Don't let anyone tell you it is anything less than adorable and perfect WASP chic. Some of the sizing is off, but I find a lot of pieces there in quality that some stores cannot compete with (i.e. their sweaters do not pill like JCrew pieces...).

Love the orange (and simple lines)of the Lands End and the style of the Loft and Talbots jackets too.

Red Lipstick Style said...

I love Talbots too, they have some really cute pieces. That orange coat is beautiful! I adore orange!

Katie said...

The pink VV one is definitely my favorite!! The Talbots one is definitely nice too to dress up!

Beth Dunn said...

Love it!

Talbots is SO not just for grandmas! I think I've been finding cute things there since college, and their quality is really good.

Chloe said...

love the ann taylor piece. you're lucky it's not a "snowpocolypse" in dallas!

I love my Burberry hooded raincoat too! I must admit that I wear it with the matching wellies :)
