With the winter winds blowing in over the holidays, it cast a chill over sunny Florida. For a few days, I felt as though I were back in New York with the blustering winds. As a result of this experience, I figured I would share with you a tip I found on wearing winter coats.

To help you get started building that coat closet, I wanted to highlight an offer from QVC.com to help put you on the right path with your winter coats. Now through 1/4/09 (where did the year go?), you can get free shipping on designer coats like this wool & cashmere peacoat from Carson Kressley. If you aren’t familiar with Carson, he was on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy — he was one of the “fab five.”While this coat is available in a variety of colors, I prefer the pumpkin seen after the jump, as bright colors are in this year.

Carson Kressley Wool & Cashmere Peacoat in pumpkin. Available at QVC.com for $109.70 (retails for $145).

While winter coats may seem pricey, what is great about choosing the right winter coat is that it is an investment that will reward you many times over — and your wallet as well!

Love,
Loren
