As easy and comfortable as my favorite white t-shirt--but infinitely cooler!

1. LNA tie-front t-shirt,
2. Rebecca Taylor pickstitch embroidered jacket,
3. Vince denim tote,
4. Prada suede espadrilles,
5. Apiece Apart cropped jeans,

I'd like to add this kind of drama into my everyday wardrobe!

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!

New striped--and zippered!--goodness for the new year!

Going back to the grind just got a little more glamorous thanks to this work-ready shirt.

I spotted Gwyneth Paltrow the other night at a friend's holiday trunk show wearing the cutest, chicest pajama-inspired pants. They were black, cropped, and perfectly louche--and most suitable for the occasion as the vibe was relaxed and intimate. These pants, I discovered, are by . Of course! And they go with a matching silk-trimmed , creating what could be the coolest suit (pictured above) I've seen in a while. While I'd love to splurge on the whole shebang, I'm thinking something derivative will do, like this pajama-inspired that will make me feel both cool and comfy.

This faux fur sweater vest had me with its stripes, of course, but its layering possibilities are also delightfully endless.

This pretty scalloped top will do nicely to shake up the usual jeans-and-tee uniform. It also comes in white .

A lace-up flat in do-it-all denim is totally in step with my fall style. (Also, the ginormous sales at both Shopbop--get code --and Net-A-Porter---- start today! I will publish my favorites from each shortly.)

This cape-like bell-sleeved blouse is all the holiday drama I need!
