If we had to choose between fall and spring, fall would win hands down as our favorite season for fashion. While we hate the colder temperatures and endless grey days, we love the fashion element of fall so much that we almost forget the inclement weather.

As soon as we have to sleep with our windows closed we know it's time - time to shop for a new winter coat! Every year we try to convince ourselves that last year's coat is still fashionable and in such good condition that we don't need a new winter coat, but every year without fail we come home with a giant shopping bag bursting at the seams with a fabulous new winter coat. So if you, like us, are compulsive winter coat shoppers, we've got some good news. We've sourced the best winter coats for fall/winter 2009 all for under $350 - that way we don't have to feel guilty when we stash yet another wooly coat into our closet.
