CURRENTLY LOVING…
Bold color for cold weather.
"I spotted this coat in Brimfield, MA. On the tag it said, "fab coat". It is indeed, fabulous! The color is apricot. It is heavy and fuzzy. I carried this coat in a 90+ degrees weather for hours. My daughter told me the coat reminds her of, ‘Muzzy’, a cartoon character in a language learning program for kids. The cut is surprisingly flattering but it’s not for everyone, thats why I love it!"
I’m stopping in Providence for a day/night on my way up to NH in a few weeks, and I was just thinking about what I should check out while I’m there. Turns out my hotel is just a few blocks from Figments, so that’ll be my number one stop!
I stopped by Figments when I was in Providence upon a friend’s recommendation. Peggy was super sweet and great to talk to, and the shop was fantastic! . . . As her currently loving pick- I’m a complete sucker for a good coat. Love it!
gorgeous color! and i loved the reference to muzzy – he is a household name in our home as well!
What a great color! Wish I could wear something like that. But I would probably look like pumpkin. Boo hoo!
Great coat in such a fun color. I recently found a fabulous vintage coat {in black} at an estate sale for $7 that left me on cloud nine for day. Don’t you just love great finds??
Sunny days, oranges, creamsicles…that coat is just the thing to make me think happy thoughts this icky, rainy winter. Beautiful color.

Haha, we have the Muzzy videos which my kids love (I actually rather enjoy them myself).
Great coat and love the color.
OMG! I love Lilli Ann!! That coat is wonderful. What a lucky find.
I am so jealous right now.
Aundrea got it right, Lilli Ann coats are gorgeous. I follow them on ebay and in some online vintage stores. The great ones go really fast.
Great coat! Peggy’s taste is fantastic.
soooooooo cute ♪+*
i want to buy this coat !!!!
Where can i buy this?
plese touch me (o^-^o)
Lucky!!! That is fabulous!
When I was 15 I bought that coat off ebay in red. Gorgeous, very adorable and practical piece. Unfortunately the fuzziness made it look like someone had butchered and skinned Elmo for it. The reverse side of the fabric was lovely, and the construction quite simple, so I sent it to a tailor to have it reversed.
Whaddayaknow…POOF! It got “lost” in their workshop. Christ was I pissed off.
