Mango Fall 2019 Picks


I have loved shopping at Mango since my college years. As I write that, I realize just how long ago my college years were... jeez. But let's not focus on that. The point here is that I have shopped at Mango for over a decade.

During my time in NYC, I was fortunate to have access to an actual Mango store. However, since moving to Charlotte, I have lost my beloved Mango store. So I am limited to shopping online. As with any fast fashion store, this can be a bit troublesome as I sometimes have to order and send back multiple times to get pieces that fit as expected. But overall, I love the selection.

Mango is one of the few mid-range stores that has always had a good selection of items made of quality fabrics and not just full of trend items made of polyester. Now, don't get me wrong. It's ok to be made of polyester... I just don't want to pay $200 for a polyester blouse. I think the trendy... man-made fabric pieces are appropriately priced. And at the same time, there are wool-blend coats, silks, cashmere, cotton and linen. And all for prices that I feel are fair for the quality.

So here are my 2019 Fall picks from Mango!

2019 Coat Picks



Fall has made an entrance and now comes the time of year full of rich color, texture and cozy times. Everyone seems to love Fall. It ushers in a time when we still want to do things outdoors during the day and cap it off with a perfect cozy evening ending. Below I am sharing with you my favorite fall season coats. Since moving to the Charlotte area from New York, the need for a full-blown northeast ready winter coat has gone away, but a nice mid-weight coat is still needed.
