I have the top version of this (find it ), which I've been wearing everywhere--even in sub-zero Aspen last week (see pic ). It's garnered zillions of compliments and where-did-you-get-it queries. Clearly, I need the dress now and in too!

I'd punch up a minimalist dress (or a t-shirt) with this bold Marni-esque choker.

Sonia Rykiel injects French chic into an American staple with faux fur sleeves, contrast stitching and a slim, flattering fit. J'adore!

A week of trudging around in ski boots has me desiring a pristine new pedicure and comfy open-toe sandals, like these fancy-looking, but not at all snow-worthy jellies.

I'd like to ring in the New Year with this kind of (Delfina Delettrez-inspired) bling!

If I were headed south for the holidays, I'd definitely pack this sightseeing-apres-beaching-and-long-luxurious-lunching lace-up denim dress!

An elegant holiday dinner with friends last night called for our holiday finest. My silk, floral, backless dress, a recent acquisition, was more resort-holiday than happy-holidays, but it worked. The super gorgeous lace dress, above, however, warrants a real tropical holiday! Take me away!

A bright and merry (and chic) way to sparkle this season!

This is how I am going to sparkle on this year's holiday party circuit!
