In the winter, your coat is the outfit the world sees, and at  STA we love sporting jackets that are as fashionable as we are. But with so many to choose from, how do you know which coat best suits you?! Like your outfit, have your winter coat reflect your personality!

Channeling New York Fashion Week at Beacon Hill STA

Victoria Beckham NYFW

Our stylish British import pulled off this rocker look at the W Lounge in Bryant Park during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York. Though I was unable to attend the event due to my incredibly booked schedule ;) I was still able to skip down to the Second Time Around in historic Beacon Hill and grab some fabulous items that would cause even Posh to do a double take.  I was able to to recreate her look for less than $200!  ~Kirsten, FashioniSTA
