A couple of weeks ago, I attended Beautycounter x Target's launch party at the Sunset Tower Hotel, not only to celebrate my friend Gregg Renfrew (above left), who founded this awesome line of chemical-free skin-care products and cosmetics but because I am genuinely thrilled that this safe, straight-forward and effective beauty brand is even more accessible to everyone. And since I'm considered "Friends and Family" to the line, I thought I'd share my special discount with you--20% off with the code SAFERWORKS at checkout through 11/13. Shop it all here.

Just thought you might want to know that loads of perfect jeans, crisp coats, day-to-night heels and other great winter essentials are up to 40% off at Nordstrom now through 11/13. I'm talking cute cropped jeans like these by Joe's as well everyday-worthy pairs by Frame, Paige and J Brand. Also tempting: this cashmere and wool trench from Vince, this Tibi pleat hem dress, this Joie striped sweater, this Elizabeth and James bow-neck blouse, this Rebecca Taylor double breasted blazer, these Rag & Bone espadrille slip-ons, and this Parker flutter sleeve top.

So excited to be featured on GOOP today, talking about acclimating to LA, the best things about working on LE CATCH, and what I like to do off-line. Plus, a few of my latest and greatest shopping finds. Check it all out here!

Ever since I spotted Milan-based blogger Tamu McPherson at Paris Fashion Week in this chic sweater-over-skirt outfit, I've searched high and low for a similar looking extra-long, side-slit pullover that I could throw over one of the many pleated skirts I have in my own closet. The look is so edgy and unexpected, and I love the textures, layers, and thrown-together vibe. A sweater like this, I think, would look equally stylish with a pair of sleek tailored pants or jeans. Then yesterday I found this Storets sweater that fits the bill--at a price that can't be beat!

It's rare to come across a pair of boots that are truly warm, winter-ready, and sexy, but these shearling-trimmed beauts by Schutz manage to be all those things and cost less than you think.

A friend of mine wants a new LBD, suitable for birthday drinks and dancing. I recommend this festive, fringed number!

Anyone who sees me regularly knows how obsessed I am with this faux fur-trimmed Harvey Faircloth jacket as I've worn it like crazy ever since I bought it last year. Those who have coveted it--and there are many!!--will be happy to know it's been re-issued and available at Shopbop. (Additional bonus: Shopbop is staging a surprise sale, offering up to 40% off key winter styles through Thursday, November 3. Highlights include this Ulla Johnson embroidered top, these super versatile Dolce Vita black boots, these Hilfiger Collection sailor pants, this Georgia Alice statement blouse, this Clare V. suede mini tote, and this holiday party-ready Prabal Garung dress.)

Subtle nuances, we all know, can make or break an outfit. Well, the latest split second, outfit-making styling trick is to simply tuck in your sweater. The shirt-like effect is polished, pulled together and up to date. To avoid muffin-top side effects, try cropped, lightweight knits such as these by Zara (pictured above), Topshop, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Endless Rose, Club Monaco and Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini.

I'd like to zip around everyday in these frayed hem jeans!
