The SHG – 3 Haute Coats For The Holidays

Posted in: SHG
imageThe Holiday season is officially upon us! This means lots of festive gatherings, cheer and good food! And festive gatherings means festive ensembles. But with this season full of love also comes a season full of freezing days and extreme elements. A warm winter coat is the best way to look stylish, stay warm and add a winter touch to any ensemble. A holiday coat should be a style that is classic and versatile, while being flattering and just a touch dressy. We have our three favorite styles of winter coats that’ll keep you toasty and tasteful all season long!



Pea Coat – This classic number is a winter coat staple. The thick material keeps you toasty, while the structured look is flattering and versatile. Pea coats can come in varying lengths, but opt for one that is more traditional for a look that’s in year after year. The A-line structure makes layering easy and it’s unisex appeal makes it equally cute with heeled boots or mens-inspired oxfords! Try a pop color for something a little more unique!



Cape – This style of outerwear is at once traditional and unique. Reminiscent of Christmas carolers, the cape is a look that is very winter appropriate, very cute and extremely comfortable (just remember to find a style with arm holes!) Due to it’s voluminous shape, layering is easy, but remember to keep the bottom sleek to avoid looking larger than you are. Try opaque tights and ankle boots!



Long Cinched Coat – The length is flattering and flirty because when paired with knee socks or tights, a long coat resembles a dress and flaunts long legs. The cinched waist creates an hourglass shape and makes for a more dressy style. A long cinched coat can be as casual or fancy as you please. Look for one that’s made of canvas or nylon for an everyday coat, or find one with fun embellishments like a fur trimmed collar or covered buttons for a special occasions coat!

TheFind Adds Practical Fun To The Office Place!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIt’s a serious question that deserves a serious answer – where in the heck are you supposed to keep all those errant paperclips that happen across your desk? The little stragglers need to be kept, because you never know when you’ll need a paperclip, but how can you keep track of all of them?


My solution is this cute little magnetic birdie. She’s sophisticated and handy at the same time. They’re also a fun and pretty way to add color and interest to a would-be drab desk and work equally well for the work-place, a home office, or as a gift!

Street Style – Trends To Try For Thanksgiving Week

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageActual Thanksgiving isn’t until this Thursday, but the week that marks the start of the holiday season is officially here. Besides our own family dinners, many of us also have invites to other Thanksgiving Day parties, be it a gathering of friends or an office potluck. While Thanksgiving is one of the more casual holidays, it’s still important to dress to impress! But it’s equally important to stay toasty and comfortable and allow enough room in the waistband to tuck into seconds of your favorite dish.


Chunky knits and long layers are a great way to stay warm and stylish, and also allows you to remove pieces as needed. Choosing a pop color for your party ensemble is also a smart move, making your look eye-catching and festive, but still lets you choose looser fitting pieces if you so choose. Need a more dressy option? Tiered lace and sheer fabrics are romantic, feminine and the added volume helps hide a belly growing from plates of turkey and mashed potatoes! Now is also the perfect time to test drive that pair of super sexy, purely amazing and ridiculously uncomfortable heels that you’ve been dying to rock! With so much sitting at the dinner table of lounging around couches, you’ll be able to stay off your feet but still make a statement with your shoes!


Ready to try some of these trends for yourself? Click on the slideshow to see some fave picks!

Couture In The City’s 5 Sweater Dresses To Love!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageTalk about sweater dresses and below are favorites I picked basically explain about the style more so than what it€™s made from. Sweater dresses are such wonderful garments! They’re soft, easy to move around in, flattering, dressy enough for work, but casual enough for walking the dog. Here are some of my favorites for this fall and winter.


The Ash Sweater Dress by Mark & James is perfect for so many looks. It’s cut generously on top, with loose, long sleeves, but with a more fitted skirt. It echoes the 80s looks we’re seeing so much of, but is far more flattering due to an ultra-feminine cut and a texture that moves without clinging. Wear this with over-the-knee boots and turn heads!

Our pop up in NYC featuring locally-sourced goods
Cool Hunting for Gap

For the 2010 holiday season we’re proud to introduce our first-ever pop up store, bringing together products from independent companies based in the New York region. Set in Gap’s project space on 5th Avenue, the store is a Cool Hunting production from top to bottom. We hand-picked each item using the same principles—innovative design, artisan craftsmanship, social and environmental consciousness—that guide our editorial.

Cool Hunting for Gap

The resulting assortment ranges from Grado headphones to Amy Sedaris’ new book to exclusive one-offs by Jonathan Adler. We’ve also included a series of Cool Hunting collaborations, such as limited-edition Mast Brothers chocolate and an Outlier cycling cap, along with a mini-installation of our digital content.

Cool Hunting for Gap

To come up with a space for showing all these products, we assembled a cast of local partners. ByKenyan designed the interiors, which feature decorative painting by Evolving Image and After the Barn‘s wood reclaimed from barns upstate. RCRD LBL put together a soundtrack of New York bands and Matt Van Ekeren designed a graphic identity.
