Fred Flare is known for kitschy, one-of-a-kind gifts and accessories, but this season they are also serving up an impressive collection of affordable, fashion-forward coats. We all know that a great statement-making coat is a wardrobe essential for fall, and it's good to know you can find one without breaking the bank. (Need money for boots, after all.) Here are my some of my Fred Flare favorites, mostly under $100. The houndstooth beauty above is just $82!

Christian Louboutin's glitter slingback pumps scream celebrate! They originally cost $690 at Neiman Marcus but have sold out.


These Coloriffics Gala Pumps are a great budget-friendly alternative and perfect for the holidays. Available in either light-catching metallic gold or silver, these shoes cost $55.95 at Endless.com. Thanks to Nika S. for sharing this amazing find!

If you've ever checked the forecast and wished the weatherman would just tell you what to wear, then you MUST enter today's giveaway! I'm giving away 2 complimentary Feather Report iPhone Apps. What is a Feather Report? Each day, Feather Report breaks down the weather forecast into style inspiration that actually makes sense. Fashion + Weather = Feather Report

For your chance to win, drop a comment below telling me what outfit you would wear if the forecast was cloudy, 39° F with a chance of rain (that's what the weather is like in my neck of the woods! Brrrr.)

I'll be picking two lucky winners later this afternoon so don't delay! Special thanks to Melisa, the creator of the Feather Report, for the hook-up!

PLEASE NOTE: This contest is now closed to further entires.

UPDATE: OK, we have our winners!
