Love that this knit, pearl-studded envelope clutch could be mistaken for Chanel and yet rings in at a mere $60!

Chic yet fabulously functional--exactly how I like to roll during the hectic holidaze.

A winning combination of slouchy and sexy. Yes, please!

Earlier this week I had lunch with a swimsuit designer friend who had just returned from Australia. Along with her Southern Hemisphere summer glow, she had on a cute new top by Aussie brand Acler. As soon as I returned home, I wandered the web to find one for myself but found this striped Acler dress instead. Score, mate!

If I were heading to the tropics over the holidays, these cropped stripe pants would no doubt be in my suitcase.

A retro ski sweater is the way to stay warm this winter, and this one works on and off the slopes!

All ready to deck the halls in this off the shoulder frock!

I'm all about a winter basic that's anything but basic!

For me, the antidote to five days of Thanksgiving vacation, two new pet guinea pigs, and my first time ever 18-pound turkey is... an unflappably cool blouse! (P.S. Since it's Cyper Monday, it's 15% off today.)

The most coveted Birkin bag in fashion land right now doesn't have a months-long wait list or a 5-digit price tag. That's because this Birkin bag is a Portuguese basket bag made famous long ago by Jane Birkin that's now all of sudden a year-round statement. Glam girls from Brooklyn to Paris and London, including Camille Rowe, Adenorah Mais, and Lucy Williams all pictured here, are teaming their Birkin baskets with thoroughly wintry coats, moto jackets and boots. It's this unexpected combo that looks so fresh and chic. Of course, this basket bag still works stylish wonders in warm weather, as demonstrated by Pandora Sykes (last pic). I found my mini $65 year-rounder .
