winter coats for every budget

Is it just me or did it go from sort of fall to winter overnight in the Northeast? Not sure what happened, but frankly my wardrobe (outerwear included) and my mindset were not ready for this sudden dip in temperature. The only good thing that has come it this sudden plunge into arctic sub 40 degree weather, is the renewed sense of urgency in my hunt for a new parka. Unfortunately my beloved old J.Crew Factory parka did not survive to see another winter, so here I am, scanning the internet and deciding whether to make a fiscally responsible choice....or to go for something a little more...sublime. Where is your winter parka from and what is your favorite place to shop outerwear? Let me know in the comments below!
