Fashionista’s Guide to Finding the Perfect Spring Jacket
Spring jackets are tricky business. How do you find one that’s not too thick, but will still protect you during those breezy evenings? Are you more of a trench coat or light leather jacket type of gal? We picked the brains of some of our favorite outerwear designers (Veda, Confezioni Crosby, Gryphon and more) to bring you some tips on how to find and wear the perfect spring jacket for you–and came up with a handy little guide to find the best ones.
We’ve scoured the market to find the best in five iconic spring jacket styles: the trench, the leather jacket, the denim jacket, the utility jacket, and the rain jacket (we already covered bombers, fyi).

Meet Avenue 32, the British E-Commerce Site Giving Net-a-Porter a Run for Its Money
Despite the fact that there are literally hundreds of e-commerce sites, very few online-only sites have managed to crack the mainstream market. Even fewer have cracked the online luxury market. Net-a-Porter, founded in 2000, has pretty much ruled the online-only luxury market with an iron first for the past 10 years–but that could soon be changing.
As more brands and retailers go online, consumers and CEOs are beginning to look at online-only luxury differently, heralding a new batch of innovative e-commerce sites.
One of those sites is the UK-based Avenue 32.

Our 10 Favorite Collections From London Fashion Week, Fall 2013
The whirlwind five days that is London fashion week is now behind us, and it left in its wake some pretty amazing collections for Fall 2013. From Brit heritage brands to upstart up-and-comers, click through to see (in no particular order) our 10 favorite London collections.
The Top 10 Fall Trends from London Fashion Week
Playing the name game in London is far from easy: So many cool young designers, so many unusual names, and only a week to make sense of them all. It’s largely due to the aversion many Brit design talents have to being crafted into the sort of the fashion celebs we adore stateside. No worries; the clothes spoke volumes for themselves, as London dialed down the quirked, and turned out one of the most sophisticated seasons in recent years. See for yourself!

J.W. Anderson Fall 2013: Subversive
J.W. Anderson’s show was entitled “Semiology of the Self.” Now we don’t want to talk semantics, but this had us a little intrigued. The show notes were just as complex, describing the show as “an examination of cacophonic chemistry, reconciling opposites through textural bipolarness in order to achieve hypernormality, the new normal.”

Life With The Coveteur (and Into the Closets of J.W. Anderson, Erdem, and Susie Bubble)
LONDON–We’ve all come to know and love The Coveteur‘s intimate portraits of the fashion elite’s covetable wardrobes ever since the site opened its proverbial doors over a year ago. Despite being relatively new, the site’s dynamic founding duo Stephanie Mark and Erin Kleinberg have already curated online editorials from over 100 closets including style pioneers like Simon Doonan and Patricia Field, and have done a number of big-name collabs (with Elle, W and Who What Wear to name a few).
I was lucky enough to snag an invitation to tag along with Stephanie and Erin and their photographer Jake Rosenberg when The Coveteur took London by storm. I was dying to find out just how they create their impeccably styled stories and what it’s like to step into the personal closets of fashion heavyweights. As a fellow Canadian, I was delighted to discover that these super-stylish girls are the definition of a Canadian best friend (in fact they met when they were besties at summer camp): friendly, warm and approachable. I could immediately see why they’ve been granted access into these trendsetters’ most intimate spaces.
