Now I know exactly how I will freshen up my tireless leather jacket this season! This cute will soften my jacket's edge and add some (much needed in the wintertime) pop.

I bought a new iPhone the other day (finally!) and when it came time to decide on the protective cover, I became paralyzed with indecision. Go for basic black or neon rubber or something with punchy graphics? I ultimately chose the latter, because... why not? A bold yet little statement never hurts. From my perspective, the smallest details can make the biggest statements, and fashion show attendees in London and Milan are emphasizing this point, brandishing all kinds of offbeat, high-impact accessories, from over-the-top shoes to quirky bags to colorful fur stoles to Crayola-hued hats. Inspired by these snaps, I set off in search of playful, outfit-enhancing accessories and turned up this , this , this cute , this soon-to-be-iconic (and current fashion insider favorite) (similar to the one above and below), this , this graphic , this , this , and this .

An embellished neckline dresses up this tee just the way I like it!

I love an oversize scarf that also works as a shawl. Especially right this freezing minute! (The one featured above is from Zara, last fall.) Some cozy options to curl up in: this super cute blanket stripe maxi scarf from , this tasseled chunky knit from , and this basic black wrap from .

Record-breaking cold (and the most unwelcome polar vortex!) demands we bust out our winter finest. This neon-zipper coat is a good place to start.

Ages ago my mother gave me a fur stole that now all of a sudden she keeps trying to take back. She'll ask to borrow it for a cold weather getaway. Or she'll casually pluck it out of my closet and wear it around my house, complaining that's she cold and "forget" it's on when she leaves. She's obviously aware that this fur stole not only has amazing heating power, but can transform any old jacket, blazer, sweater or even a dress into something way more elegant. Having tried to find one for herself to no avail, I'm putting on my own search party and giving her a a lookalike for Christmas. I think one of these from TK, TK and TK is the ticket.

As long as we're on the subject of statement coats (see last post on ), let's talk colorful furs. I am an ardent fan of the faux variety, and the more print-happy, over-the-top, the better. I would love to swagger around in one of these decadent jackets by , , and . I am also deeply obsessed with this for days when I want a kaleidoscope-color jolt with my everyday winter coat.

The party begins as soon you slip into this swishy metallic fringed dress. And then, of course, you sashay the night away.

I love the spiky, glinty craziness going on here--and how it pretty much demands a fun night out on the town.
