I'd like to fend off Mr. Frost in this faux fur-trimmed motorcycle jacket.

1. Gucci bloom print jersey sweater,
2. French Connection faux fur-trimmed faux leather jacket,
3. Ginette_NY sequin ring,
4. Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss in Hollywood Red,
5. Rag & Bone leather brogue sneakers,
6. Acne Studios jeans,

Feather trim flounces up this leather skirt--and then some!

I love the sporty/sexy lace-up detailing on , above, but I am not head over heels about its price. Thus, I was thrilled to discover this wallet-friendly, equally compelling version .

I bought a studded white fisherman sweater in Paris earlier this month that I've been wearing like bananas. And now I am going to continue the trend deep into winter with this warm and cozy turtleneck.

In my book, stripes and sequins make everything better, including this sweater, suitable for swanky dinner parties and the like.

I'd like to shine in this bronze metallic statement skirt!

I love the cool and cozy look of a cropped sweater layered over a blouse, but it can be tricky to pull off (i.e., balancing the proportion of blouse to sweater, avoiding unwanted bulk, etc.) This two-in-one sweater takes all the guesswork out and its under-$100 price is pretty sweet, too. (P.S. It is 25% off through Thursday at the Shopbop sale--and, FYI, I added a few other items I love to yesterday's !)

LA's relentless heat is keeping me in my breezy striped Breton t-shirts (my current fave is this cute boyfriend-inspired one by ), but I'm hoping it won't be too much longer before I can swap them out for some more winter-worthy stripes. I'm referring to comfy striped sweaters that go with just about everything and always look polished. This season offers up particularly excellent iterations, the best of which are by (pictured above), , , , , and (30% off today only!).

No doubt, you'll be pleased to know that all it will take to look up-to-the-minute chic this winter is--thankfully!--a pair of high-waisted cropped jeans, a fantastically cozy sweater and feminine mid-heel pumps. Fashion show go-ers worked this new cold-weather uniform aplenty in London and Paris, relishing, no doubt, its comfort factor, too. To get in on this easy, breezy look, consider these jeans by (I have and adore them!), , and , along with these standout knits from , , , , , and (my friend wore this to meet for drinks in Paris and it is truly awesome!). Shoe-wise, I love these by , , and (inspired by the Chanel pumps in the last two pictures!).

A basic, everyday sweater that is far from basic looking is a true find in my book!
