Autumn anticipation
By Natalia Ksiazek
On my way to work this morning, I finally felt a bit of fall in the air. It may have just been my anticipation to wear autumn’s chunky cropped-sleeved knits and peep-toe booties getting the best of me, but in any case, summer is definitely over and it got me thinking about my favourite fall piece: the coat. With so many styles to choose from this season, one doesn’t have to commit. Good thing too, because up-and-coming Canadian designer Mellinda-Mae Harlingten’s (mellinda-mae.com) latest coat collection makes it hard to pick just one.
Inspired by ’60s style icon Edie Sedgwick, with a little equestrian-meets-circus-ringmaster chic thrown in for fun, Harlingten’s über-luxurious, feminine jackets come in styles from classic peacoats to quirky capes. I’ve got my heart set on the grey-and-black plaid number (shown, $750). Made from virgin wool and angora, it’s sure to keep me toasty once the temperature drops.
