Thermals

Left: Rebecca Beeson Spice Stretch Thermal Hoodie

Right: T Luxury Cream Thermal V-neck Belted Top

I was wearing a thermal cardi by T Luxury today and every time I wear it, I'm reminded how comfortable it is...which makes me want more thermals.

I love the color of the hoodie on the left and looks like a great casual top. The top on the right looks like it would be perfect year-round for almost any occasion...and who doesn't love that kind of versatility?

Not Your Ordinary Diamond Ring

Look at this adorable Silver Diamond Ring by Alissia Melka!

Given that it's so unique, this is bound to be an attention grabbing little piece!

Hoodie for Work?

Left to Right:

Charlotte Tarantola "Villa Fleur" Hoodie,

Magaschoni 100% Cashmere Zip Front Hoodie,

Banana Republic Cashmere Hoodie

I love my hot pink cashmere hoodie. It's one of my wardrobe faves. It's a hoodie, but since it's knit (vs. jersey), it can actually be dressed up. Problem is...it's hot pink and sometimes you just don't want something that bright. I love these - grey, graphite, and black. Nice basic colors that can be worn year round.

I have to admit, I think my favorite out of these is the first one because of the pretty embroidery detail (granted, it is not actually cashmere...it's cotton...but it's still knit and not a jersey hoodie!).

Hooded Scarves

Left to Right:

Calyptic Hoodie Scarf,

Double Knit Hooded Scarf (comes in set of 2),

Merino Wool Hat-Scarf

These look like they would be so warm and cozy. Try to ignore the creepiness of the mannequin head in the middle picture.

Lovely White Satchel

This White Leather Zip Code Satchel is just adorable. The awesome metallic leather trim makes it so fun.

PLUS, there are multiple sections for all your stuff (for example I hate putting my winter gear in my purse and then yanking it out and feeling like my wallet/cell phone etc. is being yanked out at the same time - multiple sections solves that problem!).

Pretty Gap Dresses

It's the time of year to pull out all the pretty dresses!

These 2 Gap options are cute and not terribly pricey either. Great for a holiday party!

Left: Pleated Silk-Tie Dress ($69.50)

Right: Pleated-Waist Dress ($59.50)

Cute Payless

The latest cute stuff from Payless!

Left: Abaeté for Payless Rose Ruffle Pump

Right: Lela Rose for Payless Harrison Flat

Boots

I've been looking for a pair of boots with a slightly chunkier heel than my stilettos (and a slightly rounded toe). I LOVE the "Phoebe" Boot at left (from Banana Republic). Problem is, the only size left is 11!

I started looking for alternatives and found the Naturalizer Willa Boots and Steve Madden Devoted Boots. They're cute, but just not as awesome as the "Phoebe" Boot. I think I'm going to have to book it to the nearest Banana Republic store!

Marc by Marc Jacobs - Washed Utility Satchel

This Marc by Marc Jacobs Washed Utility Satchel is awesome.

It's got a chic casual look, it has multiple exterior pockets, AND it's expandable. Basically, it's a gorgeous yet practical bag.

I've definitely been overblogging on the handbags and accessories lately - it must be because they're usually fool-proof gifts! You don't need to know any sizes!

EDIT: Now on sale at Neiman Marcus for $272 (was $388)

Hmmm...Coral

Red is definitely one of my favorite colors and a red necklace is a great way to add some pizazz to an outfit.

When looking for a hot new necklace, I love stopping by Etsy because it's so awesome to own a unique piece.

I really like the simple Blood Red Coral Necklace at left. It's a great little piece that will put a little pop into whatever you're wearing.

I am in love with the necklace at right though, simply called Salsa. This gorgeous necklace would definitely add a spicy kick to any wardrobe. Yum!

Yummy Mix of Gold/Sillver Tones

Left: Alexis Bittar Lucite® Open Oval Necklace

Right: Alexis Bittar Rectangle Lucite® Pendant Necklace

These necklaces are just plain great. Nice big chunky pieces that can hold their own but will also play nice with that bracelet/ring AND those earrings that you were planning on wearing also.

Added bonus: you don't have to worry if your other jewelry is gold or silver.

Happy Yellow Satchel

This Steven by Steve Madden Venice East/West Satchel in Yellow is so cheery!

This purse would make such a nice sunshiney pick-me-up during the next few dark and dreary months.

A Couple Hot Hayden-Harnetts

I've been admiring Hayden-Harnett bags for a while now and I just love these two.

The Orsay Satchel, Harlequin on the left is great because it's got all the makings of a staple black bag but with the great print that makes it so much more interesting.

I really like the geometric leather trim on the Mosaique Satchel, Grey/Haze. And while I can't see myself using a bag that's quite so big, it's definitely an eyecatching, unique bag.

Embossed Leather

This Embossed Frame Clutch is so pretty.

It's a practical neutral and the embossed flowers add a nice unique detail.

This nice little clutch would definitely jazz up a casual outfit and add some interest texture.

More Grey

I am really liking the grey trend this fall. I know it's a pretty dreary color, but I find it more exciting than black (the usual staple for the season). Plus, you can make it less dreary with what you wear it with.

Left: Penny Loves Kenny Women's Dreamboat Pumps (love the faux wraparound and bow detail)

Right: Wrap Bunny Hoody (this looks like a nice cozy number that looks chic also - the belt closure means you can create a nice tiny little waist)

Print Cardigan for Cold Weather

I love this Tangier-Print Merino Cardigan.

The neutrals of navy & white make this cardi really versatile, but the pattern is great for adding some visual interest.

More Necklaces

Here are a couple more pretty things if you want to adorn your lovely collarbone area.

The Glass Pendant Chain Necklace on the left is so gorgeous. A nice chunky piece that has no problems drawing attention to itself. Even the toggle closure is pretty!

The Open Pendant Necklace on the right is very pretty and it definitely has a lovely Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra feel to it (for those of us who can't afford the real thing!).

Yummy Clavicle Adornment

This Sterling Silver Dream Catcher Necklace with Cubic Zirconia Accents is a simple yet stunning attention grabbing necklace.

My Latest Obsession

For the last week, I have been drooling over the Kenneth Cole Reaction Prism Break Satchel in Charcoal.

A charcoal bag would be such a perfect neutral to go with everything from my black work pants and a sweater to jeans and a t-shirt.

I love the satchel shape and the size of the bag. The stud details are amazing and you can tell from the pictures that it's made of a really soft leather.

Wrong Season!

I know it's not the season for this pretty Flowering Vines Print Skirt, but it might be a nice pick-me-up sitting in my closet waiting for the right day to be worn.

Or, it might remind me of how I can't wear this for at least another 6 months.

Oh well...

Old Navy Hooded Coats

With the weather getting windy and cold, a hooded coat offers protection for the areas that hats and scarves miss.

Check these out:

Left: Women's Cropped Plaid Peacoats

Right: Women's Wool-Blend Toggle Coats

I think I prefer the longer one since it offers (very important) butt coverage.

Lovely Colored Purses

I'm really loving these purses. Nice colors and both have details that make them special.

Left: Hype Gardena Soft Pebbled Leather Satchel (the buckle detail is hot)

Right: Perlina Embossed Reptile Large Framed Satchel (the reptile embossing & frame shape are awesome)

Practical Wristlet

Who couldn't use a basic Framed (Leather!) Wristlet for $24.99???

It's versatile and pretty.

Perfect as a wallet or a purse for a night out.

Hot Boots

It's always nice to find great looking footwear from Payless like the Tara Boot.

It's a good heel height and it has some great details that make it snazzier than just a plain pointy heel stiletto boot. Plus, it comes in fall's fave color - grey!

So Gorgeous!

Check out the Felicia Dress.

I love the pattern since it spices things up. The fact that it's an easygoing sweater dress just makes it easier to love.

I can imagine this dress being a great going out piece but also a great chillaxin' piece too.

Dual usage! Nothing beats getting more mileage out of your clothes!
