One shoulder-baring cutout creates serious sweater drama.

1. Tibi cut-out sweater,
2. Marc Jacobs earrings,
3. Giorgio Armani Lip Stain in Attitude,
4. Gucci pouch,
5. Sam Edelman pumps,
6. Marques' Alameida organza skirt,

Sweater weather just became a lot more appealing thanks to this tie-sleeve knit tunic.

Pinstripes get some added pep from an asymmetrical hemline and a corset belt.

Totally in tune with all the ruffles, shoulder-baring, romantic tops currently coming down the New York Spring 2017 runways--at a buy-right-now price!

Perhaps it's New York's scorching temps that has fashion week attendees streamlining: lightweight dresses, barely-there sandals, and teeny tiny bags, specifically Simon Miller's Bonsai bucket. This new "it" bag has a structured, compact shape, metal ring handles, along with an detachable, adjustable leather strap. Snap it up and before they sell out!

While my kids and their friends brandished their new and carefully chosen backpacks on their first day of school, a few fellow moms took the opportunity to bust out their new fall bags. Most noticeable among them: , above, which is both practical (i.e., roomy enough to tote a toddler!) and statement making. As I don't have any two-year-olds to run after any more (boo hoo!), I'm considering the compact, , which also happens to be a lot more wallet-friendly. Other new fall bags I'm lusting after: this trunk bag, this cross-body bucket bag, this denim satchel, this hammock bag, this plum bag and this embellished tote.

These earrings are like little modern pieces of art--and surprisingly reasonable, too!

For this back-to-work week, playful pinstripes are in order.

Proof that pom poms make everything cuter!

Exactly how I'd like to take cover on a cold, blustery day...
