surely shearling
Friday, October 23
Just a little bit of shearling is going to go a long way this winter, as demonstrated in the snaps here. Of course, not only will this plush accent offer extra warmth but an up-to-date, winter-coat-and-then-some look! I'd like to fend off Mr. Frost in these furry friends by Tibi, Rebecca Taylor, Rag & Bone, Topshop, Paige, Pepe Jeans, and BCBG.

beaded beauty
Thursday, October 22
This amazing H&M find reminds me of the gorgeously embellished dresses and skirts I saw at Andrew Gn's Spring 2016 show in Paris a few weeks ago. The jewel-like beading is super opulent looking and yet it's a steal!
sequins and stripes

sought-after shoes
Wednesday, October 21
My twin sister is currently working in Paris, spending the little downtime she has running around the city trying to nab this season's most coveted, already-sold-out-in-the-US shoe, the Chanel slingback, above. (I managed to snap up a pair while I was there a few weeks ago!) This toe- capped, mid-heeled shoe was featured in Chanel's Fall 2015 ready-to-wear show with nearly all of the 98 looks. So far, my sister hasn't had any luck in landing a pair of her own. I recommend she set her sights forward and buy the next must-have shoe, the resort-ready Gucci crossover sandal, below. Get them now while they last here.

knee deep
Tuesday, October 20
When sweater weather blew into New York this past weekend, the boot brigade trotted out, sharp, polished, and fantastically knee-high. These calf-hugging, block-heeled leather boots are like a breath of fresh air--i.e., not your typical season-after-season ankle bootie. I saw them pounding the Soho pavement with everything from loose-fitting trousers to skirts and dresses. The sight of it all inspired me to hunt down some of my own. Of course, I found several amazing options that I'd like to get knee deep into, including these pairs by Stuart Weitzman, Barneys New York, Madewell, Report, Gucci, See by Chloe, Loewe (above) and Gianvito Rossi.

double do
Tuesday, October 20
My twin sister and I met at Topshop in New York yesterday afternoon and found each other wearing matching outfits. Therefore, it's no surprise that we both bought the same new shoulder-baring crop top, above, concurring that this beaut will suit dinners out in Manhattan, LA and everywhere in between.

knit fit
Monday, October 19
LA's endless Indian summer has had me in easy, comfy dresses. And it won't change when the cold rolls in, as I'll be wearing fall's go-to knit dresses. Flattering, elegant and chill-proof, this kind of dress is a cinch to wear, easy to style, and can be dressed up or down. What more could I want? Well, I want these versions by Topshop, Front Row Shop, Joie, Whistles, Stella McCartney, and Zara.

cropped and cool
Wednesday, October 14
I love the cool and cozy look of a cropped sweater layered over a blouse, but it can be tricky to pull off (i.e., balancing the proportion of blouse to sweater, avoiding unwanted bulk, etc.) This two-in-one English Factory sweater takes all the guesswork out and its under-$100 price is pretty sweet, too. (P.S. It is 25% off through Thursday at the Shopbop sale--and, FYI, I added a few other items I love to yesterday's sale roundup!)
