Why aren't you wearing this? Pure Pashmina Wrap

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves

Even though it's cold out, there are certain times when a sweater just won't do. When we're hitting the club with our girlfriends or attending a cocktail party with our boy du jour, we want to look a little sexy, and sometimes that requires showing a little skin. But we don't want to be cold, of course, so we like to bring along a little wrap, like this Pure Pashmina Wrap, $59.99 at The Pashmina Store.

Why aren't you wearing this? Cashmere Argyle Scarf

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves

There's not much that's more luxurious than cashmere. And, if you're a bit of a prep, as we are, you'll find this Mossimo Cashmere Argyle Scarf to be just as fabulous a find as we do.

Failing economy = fewer cashmere sweaters

Filed under: Style in the News

Another sign that our economy is in real trouble? Cashmere is no longer in demand. Cashmere producers and designers are scaling back on the luxury knit as manufacturing prices rise and consumers shy away from spending on luxury products.

BT Couture Collection - toilet paper dresses that benefit Breast Cancer Awareness

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Style for a Cause



Anyone who's been to a bridal shower has probably made at least one wedding dress or veil out of toilet paper. It's a surprisingly difficult material to work with, but in the hands of professionals, the results can be surprisingly pretty!

Why aren't you wearing this? Juicy Couture Cashmere Bow and Ruffles Scarf

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves

We absolutely love it when the weather turns just cool enough that we need to wear a light sweater. To warm it up just a little bit, our favorite trick is a warm scarf -- it takes up almost no room, unlike a coat, so if the weather warms up we can just tuck it away in our handbag, but if we get cold, wrapping it around our neck really does the trick.

Dress of the day - Cashmere Flora Dress

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


Maybe we're inspired by the Shirley MacLaine Chanel movie, but we can't get enough of chic and easy to wear dresses like this one from J. Crew. It's sophisticated and sporty (let's face it - it's basically a super long tee) but it's the dainty cashmere flower detail at the waist that sold us - we're suckers for things that are beautiful just because they can be.

$238 at J.Crew

Dress of the day - Vamp cashmere wrap dress

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


Wrap dresses are the secret weapon of the well-dressed woman: They're sexy, versatile, and timeless. If you thought a sweater dress is nothing more than an oversized sweater, this wrap dress by cashmere experts Magaschoni will prove you wrong. We love the cherry red color, and the fact that throwing this on is as easy as wrapping your favorite bathrobe around your waist.

$195 at Bluefly

Why aren't you wearing this? Portolano Petunia Stripe Cashmere Fringe Scarf

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves

While a striped scarf immediately evokes feeling of school uniform preppiness, when you throw in some bright, unexpected colors, that preppiness gets all mixed up with something else. Punk? Retro? Something else entirely? We're not sure, but what we do know is that we like it.

This Portolano Petunia Strip Cashmere Fringe Scarf, $88 at bluefly.com, is the type of scarf that would work in a variety of ways. Worn with a simple white or neutral top, it would be a little collegiate looking, like we're getting ready to cheer on our favorite football team. And if there was a football team whose colors were hot pink and navy, it would have to be our favorite.

Why aren't you wearing this? Sequined Cashmere Beret

Filed under: Accessories, Hair Care, Must Haves


Berets can be intimidating, and not just those of the green variety. As a matter of fact, just a few years ago, we were nervous to wear them. Not because of the whole "freedom fries" thing or anything like that -- we just weren't sure how to wear them properly. But now we know, and just try to stop us, especially when it's a completely fabulous one like this Nordstrom Sequined Cashmere Beret ($78)!

Karen Allen was very busy knitting, not thinking about Indiana Jones at all

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Clothing


Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
is fun and action-packed. Total summertime fun. Plus, it brings back Karen Allen as the feisty Marion Ravenwood, our favorite heroine from the films. Are you aware that she has the best action figure of all time from the original film? Also, she's an innovative knitwear designer.

Karen went to FIT when she was 17, and returned in 2002 to study machine kitting technology. In 2003 she opened her own studio in Great Barrington, Massachusetts where she produces beautiful sweaters, scarves, hats, gloves and more, all made of Italian and Scottish cashmere.

Why aren't you wearing this? Kashmere yellow ombre cashmere-silk wrap

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Must Haves


We've touted our love of the light wrap before -- it's a stylish, elegant way to ward off the chill of a light evening breeze. Plus, it's a nice way to give yourself a little extra coverage when wearing a sleeveless top, should you feel the need.

A plain black or white wrap is a good, solid investment -- it'll go with a lot of clothes and always remain in style. However, if you want to be just a little trendier, why not opt for this yellow ombre cashmere-silk wrap, $85 at bluefly.com? It's classy but has just a little bit of a modern edge with the ombre design and the season's hottest color, yellow, and would look fabulous with a sweet little dress or a tank top and jeans.

Dress of the Day: Michael Kors Cashmere Tunic

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


michael kors cashmere tunic I am torn about the Runway Cashmere Tunic Dress by Michael Kors. The cable-knit sweater dress looks absolutely wonderfully warm and cozy, and yet because it's such a thick knit cashmere with a heavy, loose turtleneck, I am afraid that I won't get much wear out of it before I start buying up Spring clothes and (as usual) trying to wear them too early.

The dress is super versatile, though, because it can be worn belted or loose (the belt is sold separately), and as a dress, or as a tunic over leggings.

Available from eLuxury for $897 on sale from $1.995.

Dress of the Day: Joie She's in Love Cashmere Tunic Dress

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

joie shes in love cashmere tunic dressThe name of the dress is "She's in Love," and that might be because I'm head over heels for Joie's sweater dress, or it might just be because I'm in love!

Eh. It's the dress.

Joie's She's in Love dress is perfectly warm for mid-January because it's made of an ivory-colored cashmere and wool blend. The deep V-neck is cut off with a slight gather just before it gets too risque to wear the dress to Sunday night dinner with the famil. The long sleeves let out to bells, which matches the slight fare in the skirt.

The dress is on sale at Amazon for $129.99, which is quite a deal given that the dress can do double duty as a tunic top over leggings.

Dress of the Day: Vince Cashmere Empire Smock Dress

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

vince cashmere empire smock dressThere's nothing more luxurious for fall and winter than the softness and warmth of cashmere, but don't just leave it to sweaters and the occasional scarf and gloves. Vince makes a smocked dress of 100% cashmere that features a fitted bodice, an empire waist (which is even more comfortable), and banding at the scoop neckline, cuffs, and hemline. Falling only 33", the dress is just screaming for a pair of opaque tights with a slight sheen.

Available at ShopBop for $285. Also comes in black.
