I love this great Catimini Spirit City Parka. It reminds me a bit of a favorite Catimini coat that my middle daughter is wearing right now. I love the bubble hemline and oversized buttons. The embroidered flowers are pretty cute too. Fleece inside keeps your child extra warm and snuggly.  You can purchase one of these for $105-$112 depending on size at artebebe.com. It comes in infant and toddler sizes up to 4, and coordinating accessories are also available. My daughter is small, but we’ve gotten more than one year of wear out of her similar coat, which has helped to justify the expense.

Kate Mack is probably best known for bathing suits, but they make some great coats as well. My youngest daughter is sporting an exceptionally-cute Kate Mack coat this winter, and I’ve been looking at their line for older girls as well. I love the fun shape of this pink Razzle Dazzle jacket, and the faux fur collar adds a little extra fun. It is a perfect topper for casual winter looks. Right now, you can purchase this warm winter jacket on sale for $64.80 (down from $108). It is available in sizes from 4-6X. You can check it out at littleposhprincess.com.

This L.L. Bean Ultraplush Jacket is both fun and functional. Made from plush polyester fleece, it is made to be soft to the touch and extra warm. It is available in either pink or brown, and in both little girls’ and girls’ sizes. I think it will appeal to most age groups. You can purchase one for $49.50 at LLBean.com. While the look is trendy, the L.L. Bean name gives you confidence in the durability of the product. Now through December 24, when you spend $25 or more at L.L. Bean, you’ll get a $10 gift certificate.

This Crewcuts Puffy Popcorn Coat is perfect for girls who love comfort and casual style. Big buttons are easyfor small hands to manipulate, while an oversized collar provides extra warmth.  This cute, simple coat comes in sizes from 2-12 and retails for $68. You can check it out at jcrew.com.

Here is another great coat from Corky & Company. If your little one is a pink princess, this may be the way to go. I love the sweet paisley print, which is feminine without being cheesy. The embellished collar is also a nice touch. This will look great over dresses, but you can easily pair it with casual wear as well. It is available in sizes from 2T up to 6x and retails for $94-$104, depending on size. You can purchase one at forgetmenotkids.com. If you can keep it clean, this one will be great to pass down to a friend or little sister.

Here’s a great deal on a cute but practical winter coat. Made by Oshkosh B’gosh, this coat is available in either green or white, and in sizes ranging from 4 to 6X. I think it looks fun and super-sporty. While it may not be the best match for dressier outfits, it will look great with sweaters and jeans. You can purchase one for the close-out price of $34.99 at overstock.com. A purple toddler version is available for $32.99.

Corky and Company is famous for its gorgeous coats, and this model will not disappoint. This has to be one of the most striking coats I have seen in a while (and I love to look at coats!). Available in sizes from 2T up to 6X, it is designed to be as snuggly and warm as it is fashionable. I think most little girls would love to have  coat like this. I especially love the flower appliques and the pretty green buttons. You can purchase one at kidscoats.com. Prices range from $102-$114 depending on size.

I have a strange love of outerwear, so I’m glad that it is starting to reappear in stores, even if the weather isn’t quite cool enough for my kids to actually wear it. My latest find is this fun jacket from Skipping Hippos. Made from fine wale corduroy, it features gorgeous blossom appliques and a fun lining that can be turned up at the sleeves for added contrast. I love the shape and length of this coat, and the collar and over-sized buttons are pretty cool, too. Three colors are available, but I love this spunky raspberry shade. You can purchase this coat in sizes from 2T -4T for $60 at jujubeaneboutique.com, Sizes 6X and 8 are available for an additional $10.

We probably have more rain coats than we can realistically use, even in wet spring weather, but it doesn’t keep me from checking out all the fun new styles. I am currently in love with this sweet little Party Kittens lined jacket from Hatley, a company known for its high-quality nature-themed garments. This warm coat features a print of playful little kitties on a pink background. It is made from a 100% PVC free polyurethane shell with a soft terry cloth line. It is available in sizes 2T-5T. Matching boots an an umbrella are also available. My three year old daughter would absolutely love this set; she has quite a soft-spot for cats. You can purchase one for your own animal lover at tinysoles.com. The coat retails for $44 and the matching boots are $32.

We haven’t had much spring weather, but we have had a lot of rain lately. With spring hopefully about to make an appearance soon, I’m sure there is more wet weather right around the corner. With wet weather comes the need for new raincoats, boots, and umbrellas. This sweet little raincoat from Juicy Couture is a great choice for the season. I love the bright and cheerful apple print, which is sure to cheer up even the gloomiest of rainy days. This coat, which has been seen on Violet Affleck, is available in sizes from 2-10. It retails for $168 and can be purchased at MilkShop.com.

Suri Cruise has been photographed out and about in this sophisticated coat from Best & Co.  This beautiful dress coat is made from pristine white wool trimmed in velvet.  Made in Spain, it features a placket front with scalloped trim.

This coat would never stay clean and crisp in my house, but I know many moms who are much better at keeping whites white than I am.  If you are one of them, and are interested in splurging on a celeb-worthy coat, you can currently get one for less than half price.  The coat, which initially retailed for $398, is currently on sale for $198.90.
