Why aren't you wearing this? Wide Suede Belt

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves

wide suede beltYou know that black dress you've been wanting to add a little "oomph" to? Or what about that oversized turquoise cardigan? You know you need a belt to cinch it in, but a boring old belt simply won't do.

Why aren't you wearing this? Wilshire medium shoulder bag

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Must Haves

Whenever we're looking for a new handbag, we tend to get distracted by the ones with bright colors, unusual textures, and funky patterns -- they're just so fun to look at! But, the thing is, every girl needs a beautiful bag in a neutral hue for those days when her dress (or coat, or hat) really need to take center stage.

Why aren't you wearing this? Marc by Marc Jacobs Painted Intarsia Gloves

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves

Winter's coming, and you need to make sure you have the right tools to cope with the drop in temperature. We tend to lean toward items that, for one thing, can be worn with multiple things, and for another, can be adjusted according to temperature. These Marc by Marc Jacobs Painted Intarsia Gloves, $88 at Shopbop, do just that.

Why aren't you wearing this? Large Oslo Bag

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Must Haves


When it comes to investing in a pricey handbag, there are a couple schools of thought. Some believe the best option is to buy something really unique -- you might not use it all the time, but when you do, it'll really make a splash. And, since you're buying a quality piece, it'll last forever.

Why aren't you wearing this? L.A.M.B. Mitaka Heel

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Must Haves


While a neutral shoe is always a good investment, we have one problem with them -- they can be boring. Even though we know that they'll look fabulous, and elongate our leg, we just have a hard time wearing a shoe that, in the box, makes us yawn.

That's why we love this Mitaka Heel by L.A.M.B. in gray, available for $354.99 at Heels.com. It does everything a nude shoe needs to do, but it does it with some extra style. Instead of simply being a shoe we'd wear with an outfit needing a neutral, we'd search out ensembles to wear with these shoes!

Why aren't you wearing this? Big Buddha Brooklyn Bag

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Must Haves


The days of matching your handbag to your shoes is over. Sure, you still could be matchy-matchy, but it's not required. And so, if you have a big, bright handbag that you love, you can wear it with all kinds of outfits and all kinds of shoes.

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.

Shoes of the Day: Stuart Weitzman Swak

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes

stuart weitzman swak flatsI'm just not there yet. Flats are all over the place, and I realize that they are that amazing and rare combination of fashionable and functional, but I'm just not at a point where I can give up 4-5" heels yet, unless I'm working out (and I don't work out).

However, I am getting close, and when I do get there, Stuart Weitzman's Swak are probably the pair I'll try. They're my favorite color in shoes, neutral, and feature metallic hardware both on the rounded-toe and the heel. Maybe I like them just because they're not totally flat -- they have a 1" heel (which, to me, is essentially flat anyway).

Available from Zappos for $260.

Shoes of the Day: Michael Kors Cairo Pumps

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes

michale kors python cairo pump You know how winter sales are great because the discounts are so steep, but you're limited because everything you buy is for winter, which means you can only wear it for the next month or two?

The Cairo Pumps by Michael Kors are part of Bluefly's Winter Sale, and because they're a light sand color, will work from now through the end of the summer. The shoes are made of python with a leather lining and sole, feature a rounded toe, and a 3¾'' covered heel.

Available from Bluefly for $259.99.

Dress of the Day: French Connection Seasonal Spot Dress

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

french connection seasonal spot dressSometimes, when the entire ball room is a black sea of LBDs, the thing to wear to stand out is a dress in a bright jewel tone. This Holiday season though, with jewel tones the "it" thing, it'll be tough to stand out against a sparkling rainbow.

French Connection's Seasonal Spot is a neutral background with bold black dots that will be something different from all the garnet, fuschia, sapphire, aquamarine, and amethyst. Still, the dress sparkles with metallic fibers running through the fibers. Wide straps will stay in place will stay in place while you're dancing the night away.

The dress is available from Nordstrom for $198.
