Canada Goose Whistler Coat ($795)

Yes, this coat is pricey.  But, depending on where you live, worth it.  I picked one up on Amazon in the off season and saved a bundle.  I did end up with a white one though, which is less than ideal.  But for $200-off?  Not a problem.

    I actually love the look of a white winter coat like this, but I’m wary of buying one. How quickly does it start to look dingy and dirty and how do you keep it clean?

    I bought this jacket at Land’s End last year and it kept me incredibly warm through the miserable polar vortex: https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-shimmer-down-coat/id_288488?sku_0=::DTE It doesn’t look as shiny in person as it does in the pictures and has nice little features like fleece pockets for when you forget your gloves. Plus, it’s 50% right now. Would definitely recommend!

      I purchased a similar jacket from Land’s End a year or two ago. The seaming was diagonal which I found a bit more flattering and it had a built-in cuff with thumb holes. It is the best thing ever. While everyone was freezing during the polar vortex, I was perfectly comfy. In DC during non-vortex weather, I don’t have to wear a sweater and can sometimes even go without a scarf. The best part is it doesn’t let the teensiest bit of wind in.

    I purchased the stadium parka from Eddie Bauer last season and was impressed enough to buy a their shorter Yukon classic coat. I love both and found them to be far better replacements for my old North Face down jacket.

    I bought the Patagonia 3-in-1 parka three years ago for Chicago winters and I have never made a better purchase. It is two separate jackets that zip together and I actually use the trench separately a ton, especially when working in other climates like San Francisco. Probably slightly less warm than a straight up down coat, but has always been good in Chicago and I love the versatility.

    Link if it’s helpful, you can probably buy it elsewhere: https://www.patagonia.com/us/product/womens-tres-3-in-1-parka?p=28407-0

    I just bought the Whistler coat for NYC winters! I love the length- longer but not full length. perfect for skirt wearing ladies. Great rec.

    For a shorter Canada Goose model, I just got the Victoria and it’s great. Still covers your butt but isn’t as cumbersome when getting getting in or out of the car. It hasn’t gotten that cold in DC yet but it seems nice and warm (which is good since I have a quarter mile walk from my parking garage to work)

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
