on stripe
Tuesday, January 9
I have my fair share of stripes in my wardrobe, but nothing like this cute bow-neck t-shirt that is both work and play-friendly. Other new and improved stripes that will up my game (read: are not redundant) include these by Kule (my sis has and loves! Also this, below!), Perfect Moment, Hellesy, J.Crew (on sale!), La Ligne, Rye, and Balenciaga.

turn up the heat
Monday, January 8
To ease my winter doldrums, I'm adding some extra (chic) layers to my everyday uniform, starting with an extra long statement making scarf. Zara has a bunch of options, but I prefer these by Rag & Bone, Asos (and this one, too!), Free People, and Burberry. I'd also like to give my wintry wardrobe an energizing boost with these warm and fuzzies by Ulla Johnson, Pixie Market, Gap, Gucci, and Velvet.

With a "bomb cyclone" winter storm threatening to blast the east coast tomorrow, I'd like to hunker down in this lavishingly warm faux fur coat.

holiday glow
Thursday, December 28
Goop
$60
When my sister-in-law told me I looked refreshed and glowing on Christmas Eve--after wrapping presents till the wee hours the night before, over-fulfilling my Champagne quota for days on end, and running ragged for several weeks--I was both flattered and shocked. The only thing I could chalk it up to is something new to my daily routine: this Goop Glow supplement, which evidently seems to be working! It's chock full of magnesium, grape-seed proanthocyanidins, vitamins C and E, and CoQ10, plus critical carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. Other things lifting my spirits (and glow) today: these crazy sales at Nordstrom, Shopbop, Matches and Net-a-Porter.

Okay, since I've failed to get ready for Christmas on time, I'm going to try to nail my New Year's Eve-ready look! Fortunately, tons of festive dresses are on super (read: post-Christmas) sale, including the lace Opening Ceremony, above (under $250, no less!). Also part-worthy: these head-turners by Halston Heritage, Jonathan Simkhai, Protagonist, Altuzarra, Dolce & Gabbana, CeCe and Asos (it's $15!). Merry Christmas!

bomb's away
Tuesday, December 19
My youngest child embarked on a father-son ski trip a few days ago. When we said our goodbyes, he was dressed in fluffy, fleece jacket and looked so cute. I hugged him and asked if he was sure he wanted to go. He withdrew from our cuddle and looked at me and replied with tears streaming down his eyes, "I'm going no matter what." And just like that he turned away and left the house with his dad. I think this may have something to do with my hankering for the cute fluffy bomber jacket, above, along with the fact, that I think it would look super cozy and stylish under a pea coat!
