Haven't meandered out of your apartment yet today? Don't bother—it's freezing. In fact, don't bother doing anything today besides perhaps catching up on a bit of embroidery or sipping lavender Earl Grey, both of which seem like activities well-suited for this ridiculously prim Zara coat, a garment we could easily imagine on a real-life incarnation of Samantha—no, not the blonde PR maven on HBO, but Samantha Parkington, the American Girl doll. "Monster fur," this is not, and yet it feels just as modern.
