The weather is finally starting to feel like fall here in LA, but it still isn't cold enough to break my long shearling coat out of hibernation. Sadly, the shearling coat (a vintage that I inherited from my mother's closet) almost never makes it out of the closet except for the one day out of the year that I don't look completely ridiculous wearing it in southern California.

So that one wintry day will come, but for now, I'll stick with lighter jackets. The Sammi jacket in navy blue by Tory Burch takes the classic peacoat and adds a touch of fun. It's totally perfect for brisk autumn days - heavy enough to keep you warm, but light enough not to weight you down as you run about town. In fact, the jacket doesn't even have to be outerwear. With its unique shape and double row of gold buttons that run up in an A-line to the collar, it's quite cute as a top over jeans.

The Sammi jacket is available from Amazon for $433.65.
