Warm winter layering made easy, comfy and super chic. (It also comes in this .)

1. Veronica Beard layered merino wool sweater,
2. Raey shearling jacket,
3. J Brand button-fly jeans,
4. Alison Lou gold ring,
5. Patagonia mini hip pack,
6. Gucci shearling lined sneakers,

One simple way to make sweater weather more stylish.

Mix and match puka perfection--a round-the-clock yes!

A close (stylish) friend turned me on to '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?!

Sequins will be making a strong showing this holiday season, but I've already gotten into the spirit (see !) with this statement skirt.

In the mere 30 minutes of shopping time I had over the weekend in New York City, I snapped up this insanely elegant, vintage-looking gem. (FYI: I sized down for a more form-fitting look, and I am also going to switch out the lining for a nude slip.)

This pretty paisley Altuzarrai-ish statement is poised for the holiday party circuit!

My JFK-LAX flights always provide cool style inspo, and yesterday's trip winged it with this Topshop faux fur jacket. (Perfect for my next trip back east!)

Yesterday afternoon I was reminded how chic (read: essential) leopard print heels are at--of all places--my son's flag football game. A CEO friend of mine had on a pair that seductively/successfully meowed from the sidelines.

My father is going to be honored for his work at a fancy gala in New York in a few weeks, and I might just steal some of his spotlight by showing up in this sparkly wonder! (P.S. I don't think he'd mind! P.P.S. This will also set the holiday party circuit alight!)
