Five Ways to Stay Cozy - StyleLISTS

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, StyleLISTS



If you live in the north like we do, you don't need to be told that it's cold outside. The temptation to stay inside under a ridiculous blanket (like the one above, ahem) is great, but we won't allow it! Why would you buy a "blanket with sleeves" to stay warm, when there are more fabulous alternatives?

1. The Capelet

Retro-fever continues unabated. Throw on a capelet and channel your inner Ava Gardner.



2. The Oversized Scarf

Adding a scarf or a shawl adds instant class to any outfit. Don't be intimidated by larger scarves - they're actually easier to wear than the tiny ones stewardesses wear. In silk or wool, you're sure to stay warm!

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.

Dress of the day - Cashmere Flora Dress

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.

Dress of the day - Striped sweater dress by Banana Republic

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


Who says looking polished equals being uncomfortable?

This sweater dress is about as easy as it gets - just slip it on and go. It's a great piece for early fall, because you can start out wearing without tights (picture after the jump) and then pile on the leggings and accessories as the weather cools. We love it cinched at the waist with a belt because it helps the dress show off your shape.

As an added bonus this dress is a silk/viscose/cotton blend that's machine washable. See? We told you it was easy!

$98 at Banana Republic
