As easy and comfortable as my favorite white t-shirt--but infinitely cooler!

1. LNA tie-front t-shirt,
2. Rebecca Taylor pickstitch embroidered jacket,
3. Vince denim tote,
4. Prada suede espadrilles,
5. Apiece Apart cropped jeans,

This cozy faux fur bomber jacket is my antidote to the winter blues! I especially love the cute neck tie.

I'd like to add this kind of drama into my everyday wardrobe!

Fashion's frayed denim fever is on the rise, thanks to more designers like , , , and , serving up fantastically ready-made (i.e., hand done-looking) jeans. Now entering the fray is the denim shirt! I love these perfectly distressed iterations from , , , and .

There are boyfriend jeans and then there are boyfriend jeans that the boyfriend (or in my case husband) actually likes. As in the kind that enhances your figure, not exaggerates it! Lately, I've come across those rare finds--several excellent pairs that are distinctly slimmer-fitting, yet still compellingly slouchy and relaxed. They include this , this , this , this and this .

New striped--and zippered!--goodness for the new year!

I just returned from Aspen, where I brushed up on my S-turns, sailed down a few (and my first!) black diamond trails and learned to navigate the terrain parks, with help from my two jump-loving sons. I also continued to work on my post-slope, frigid-weather style, which by the end of my vacation looked identical to the outfit, above: a mix of fanciful (thank you, Mongolian fur coat), practical (courtesy of a cute heat-trapping beanie hat) and easy (i.e., jeans and a basic sweater). Back at my work desk, I've discovered that many of these chic, chill-proof staples are on sale. The best of the bunch include these faux fur jackets by , , , and ; and these statement beanies by , , , , and . I also love these everyday jeans by , , and teamed with not-so-everyday sweaters like this , this , this and this . Happy New Year!

Going back to the grind just got a little more glamorous thanks to this work-ready shirt.

This is just the thing to ruffle up my winter wardrobe--and keep me toasty!

For me, the fringe detailing transforms this turtleneck into chic apres-ski-in-Aspen material.
