Here's what happens when Leo(pard) marries Mary(Jane): a gorgeously updated flat that will punctuate every fall outfit.

Chanel's 2017 Cruise Collection features an abundance of slide sandals (some with pearls, embellishment and metallics!), proving that this summer shoe has a promising future ahead. So I just picked up this patent leather-like guy, whose price belies its elegance!

Something just made my spring shopping significantly easier: the J.Crew Style Guide, because a substantial portion of what I want to wear next season (and later) is contained inside! For starters, the cooly re-invented , above, that are inspired by the cultish ). I love the featured with them too! My other favorites also happen to be fresh takes on wardrobe classics, including these , this off-duty , these statement-making (last pic), this (below), this cotton linen (as sexy over a bikini as with a pair of jeans), these attention-getting chandelier and this grey . You can check it all out for yourself .

The double layered ruffle sleeve sweetens the deal here!

Don't mean to give you the cold shoulder again, but I couldn't resist this striped one!

I just treated myself to a few seriously cute shoulder-baring tops--this and this --that will be perfect this spring. But this picture makes me want to get a head start on the whole shoulder-revealing trend with a wear-right-now, winter-worthy sweater! I love these alluring versions by (similar to above), , and .

Deep into sweater weather, I'm thinking something other than a sweater would be fun to wear. Like a poncho, for instance! It's a warm, cozy, easy-to-throw-on layer (not necessarily limited to the chilly outdoors, either)--and stands out from the crowd! I love these statement-making indoor-friendly styles by , , , , , and (on sale!). The one pictured above is by Free People and is on sale .

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

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!

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