I have a thing for silver pants right now. (So does and .) Okay, so they're not the most practical but they are arguably the glintiest and glammest, and I love the idea of wearing them in a casual way, too. I'd wear these metallic beaded pair with...

1. Dagmar sweater,
2. Coralia Leets druzy earrings,
3. Loeffler Randall bag,
4. Boutique 9 pumps,
5. Warehouse beaded pants,

I am at my least stylish from 8 to 9AM, when I am suited up in workout gear, frazzled from the bed-to-breakfast table-to-out-the-door routine, bent on making the school run fast so I can squeeze in a sweat session. Unlike most Angelenos, I do not exercise in head-to-toe Lululemon: an old t-shirt and some black leggings is my uniform. I try to camouflage this rather unsightly outfit with a big wrap-like cardigan or my green army jacket. But now I am thinking this cozy poncho-like cardigan is the ticket. I love the toggles and the chic cape-like fit. Not only will it act as a genius cover up but it will also be perfect on chilly fall days, with my regular (i.e. more stylish) clothes, when I am running around doing a million things. On those days, I'd wear it with...

A little bag that's seriously high impact--just the way I like it. What's more, it will bestow some exotic-tribal-Missoni-ish fabulousness upon any tonal outfit. I'd wear it with...

Now that you know I have a soft spot for , you should not be surprised that I'm eyeing this trench, on sale at The Outnet. The faux leather sleeves are on the money, especially with the military green khaki. I'd wear it with...

I am obsessed with Proenza Schouler's chinoiserie-filled --the most iconic piece being this , which, of course, sold out the minute it went online. But these shimmery brocade pants from Topshop manage to encapsulate Proenza's elusive Far East-inspired coolness. I'd wear them with...

I love the idea of wearing a sweater as a jacket--and this is the time of year to do it (or at least we're getting close to it)! Madewell's nubby knit has all the trappings of outerwear--it's cozy, zips up and has front pockets--but it's light enough to be indoor friendly. Plus, the vibrant stripes give it all the coolness of a statement sweater. I'd wear it all the time with...

The faux fur sleeves on this motorcycle jacket make it a compelling (and cozy!) candidate for the cold season. I'd wear it with...

This top is right up my alley. It is elegant and vintage-y, and has a one-of-a-kind look. I'd wear it with...

Years ago I had an older Spanish friend who would visit regularly and stay with me in my New York apartment. She was the epitome of European sophistication, always impeccably dressed. She'd come bearing generous gifts, one of which was a needlepoint clutch. It was the most elegant thing ever, mostly because it was so... her. I stuffed it with my daily essentials and wore it into the ground, and then the zipper broke, and that was that. This beaded floral clutch reminds me of my long lost needlepoint bag--but, I have to say, it might even be a little more glam and, with needlepoint an official trend right now, totally of the moment. I'd wear it with...

The one-two punch of the asymmetric hemline and graphic color-blocking makes this Derek Lam skirt a true standout. What's more, it's on sale (the original price was $1250). I'd team it with a casual t-shirt, just like uber stylish blogger would...
