You can't have a conversation about outerwear this Fall without discussing the cape.  
A huge trend on the runways, from Valentino to Chloe, the cape is this seasons MVP.  This version from MSGM is layered, adding some additional shape, and warmth, to the traditional cape silhouette.  Also, the black and white herringbone and houndstooth fabric is just masculine enough to give this piece some edge.

A fur vest is one of the most versatile items in a women's closet today.

Pastel colors were quite prevalent on the Fall/Winter 2013 runways.  Celine, Nina Ricci and Rochas all had runways filled with pastel pink, blue, green and yellow.  While a pale pink coat may seem odd for a mid-winter purchase, it will definitely add a spring in your step.
