I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek to the Holiday Guide. Looks like those are now online and there’s a nice promo of 30% with HOLIDAY!

I have a few reviews but wanted to get these first two out there in case anyone needed to make a decision.

First up is the Italian Silk Secretary Blouse in Tapestry Print. I debated between this blouse and the Collection Italian Silk Shirtdress in the same print. I settled on the blouse because I knew I would get more wear out of it as opposed to the dress.

I ordered a size 8 and the fit is good although an 8 Petite would be a better fit as the sleeves are a little long.

The print is divine and the silk is gorgeous. I am so happy I ordered this blouse as it is so beautiful and will go well with my current black/gray wardrobe.

Next, is the Collection Tuxedo Topcoat. Dani has been posting a nice series on coats for various functionality. Her latest is Dress Coats and this most certainly fits the bill. She has a beautiful black coat from Brooks Brothers that she got for a song. I have the Wool Blazecoat that I wear on cold days but I don’t have anything for dressier events. This Topcoat certainly fits the bill.

I ordered the size 8 and though it’s a little tight in the shoulders (story of my life) there is room in the arms and body for layering. This is the perfect length to cover all my skirts and dresses. I think it will also look chic with skinny jeans. 

I am very happy I ordered both of these. I think the pattern of the blouse might be my favorite from the Fall/Winter/Holiday collection. 
Have a Great Thanksgiving!
