LE CATCH

While I am not quite ready to hang up the garland and steep myself in egg nog, I could easily slip into this festive, holiday party-worthy sequin skirt and team/tame it with something a more everyday casual, like a slouchy sweater or sweatshirt. I also just snapped up this wallet-friendly sparkle, and wouldn't mind sparkling some more in this Tibi, this J.Crew, this Zara, this H&M--all to get me into the holiday spirit!

I've worn this Isabel Marant Etoile dress like crazy lately (thank you, LA weather!) and so have a few of my friends, who've asked to borrow it. But now it's time they buy their own, as it's on crazy sale! (My twin sister also bought it in red--on sale here.) And they should also buy lots of other things I'm coveting this Black Friday as they're all on super sale, including this chic Chloe cuff, this iconic Dolce & Gabbana print mini, this seductive Ulla Johnson dress, these Rag & Bone (Aspen-worthy) boots, this cool Prada cross-body bag, and this Perfect Moment statement puffer. P.S. I've trawled all the Black Friday sales and, IMHO, the best stocked are at Nordstrom, Shopbop, Matches (designer heavy hitters!), J.Crew (50% off!) and Netaporter.

It's like this week is serving up the one-two punch of a Thanksgiving meal! First there's the turkey (blammo, Net-a-Porter sale!) then dessert (bring it on, Shopbop!). Indulging in the latter should definitely involve these treats from Loeffler Randall (boots pictured above), Levi's (best jeans ever), Clare V, I Love Mr. Mittens, Temptation Positano, and Eberjay.

Save some room for amazing bites at Matches (hello, Chloe bag, below at 40% off!), Nordstrom (I'll take these Isabel Marant sneakers, please!), Barneys (love this!), and Neiman Marcus (Burberry cape dreams)!

Maybe it was New York's cold, wet snow that pelted me in the face or LA's still smoky skies that has me longing for lustrous sunshine and a holidaze. Who knows, but I do know: I have found some (instant) gratification today in Zimmermann's resort-chic pieces being on sale at Netaporter (it's on, folks!), such as the striped cutie, above, along with these other pretties from Lisa Marie Fernandez, Ulla Johnson and Ganni. Of course, they are loads of cold-weather prizes up for grabs too, including this tweed Isabel Marant jacket, this sexy Proenza Schouler sweater and these Alexander Birman knee-high boots. Shop it all here!

I may be the only one in New York City anticipating the season's first snowfall today--and one of the least prepared. Meaning: I didn't pack the right/enough clothes. I should've brought way more warm layers, including my just-purchased Max Mara blazer (also here), above, along with more cozy knits, such as this Mango checked puffer, this Alexa Chung turtleneck, this Topshop faux fur jacket, this All Saints sweater, this cute Tommy Hilfiger puffer, and this Asos skirt and sweater set.

As I wear my hair up 99.9% of the time, I am constantly on the prowl for ways to enhance my 'do. Enter these cute hair ties from Dannijo to fit/freshen up the everyday bill! They also come in other prints and solids. All keepers, in my book.

A close (stylish) friend turned me on to Leatherology's cross-body bags--and now I'm thoroughly obsessed with the entire line (wallets, jewelry organizers, duffels, eyeglass cases, pouches, etc!), because they're (a) inexpensive; (b) personalized/customizable (read: endless options); (c) make for the best (holiday) gifts; and (d) straight-up chic! The only challenge: figuring out which color combo I like best. Thoughts?!

Sweater weather is looking particularly bright right now, with this season's go-to knits rendered in eye-popping rainbow hues. (P.S. The more hand-knit looking, like the one-of-a-kind one, above, the chicer!) I'd like to step out--and banish winter blues--in these sumptuous sweaters by Novis (similar to above), J.Crew (30% off this and everything right now!), The Knitter, Topshop, Shein (the lighter one), Storets, and Prada.
