In honor of my birthday coming up (where my Virgos at??), as well as the upcoming Fall season (a.k.a. the most exciting fashion season of them all), I decided to give a little recognition to some of the furs from the Fall Collection of one of my favorite fellow Virgos in fashion — the fabulous Rachel Zoe.
1. The Petra

They have the Petra Faux-fur Coat styled with her sequined mini dress, but I’d seriously wear this with anything and everything. I would sleep in this coat. But, when I’m not asleep, this is one of those no-brainer coats that would be perfect to throw on over bootcut denim, chunky San-Francisco-hills-safe heels and a jewel-toned woven top in an effort to stay warm during one of my upcoming chilly, pre-fashion-school early mornings that I see looming in my near future.
2. The Marianna

So Marianna looks uber rustic — as in, like, you just decided to head over to the Yukon to do some bear hunting (maybe in some throwback-to-2002 Timbaland/hiking-boot Manolo Blahniks a la Jennifer Lopez in her “Jenny From the Block” video), then glued on the hide from a freshly-skinned grizzly onto the leather coat you were already wearing like some kind of DIY project gone horribly Grizzly-Adams-esque — but that’s why I love it. Total Yellowstone-chic.
(side note: I totally don’t condone or endorse killing grizzly bears. Or any kind of bears. But, particularly grizzly bears, since they’re endangered. We cool, PETA???)
3. The Brooklyn

Are we off ombre yet? Well, after seeing this jacket, I’m definitely not. Just put that over a pair of high-waist short-shorts, a white tee, a bad-ass pair of Jeffrey Campbells, with a stack of layered necklaces (you say, “accessorizing,” I say, “excess-orizing”) and I believe I’ve just found my birthday bar-hopping outfit.
All coats, in addition to more of the Rachel Zoe Fall 2012 collection, can be found at neimanmarcus.com.
Happy birthday to all you Virgos!
XO,
Coco Zoe
