F Winter, I'm Shopping for Spring Part 1: Trench Coats

I'm done. For real though -- winter on the east coast sucks. Doesn't matter that I'm a Jersey girl at heart, I'll never get used to snow and sleet and 20 degree wind chills.

So I'm setting my mind on spring and shopping for the season's essentials. First up: trench coats. This berry-colored one from Target is BOLD -- and at $39.99, cheap enough that you can buy a black or neutral hued one to wear on days when you don't feel like stopping traffic.

If you've got a little more dough to spare, spring for Michael Kors' cobalt-colored, mid-length trench. It's $96 at Bluefly.com -- way below retail.

I'm loving the deep purple color of this trench, which lets it transition easily from the dark days of winter to the warmer breezes of spring. It's $59.99 at Overstock.com.

Another purple option, this time more casual: Sashimi's belted trench, on sale at Nordstrom.com for $38.90. It also comes in teal and burgundy.

But these are just the trenches I'm digging -- let me know what you're excited to buy this spring and where you plan to shop. And F the cold. I'm pretty sure that if you stare it down hard enough, it'll go away.
