I spotted Gwyneth Paltrow the other night at a friend's holiday trunk show wearing the cutest, chicest pajama-inspired pants. They were black, cropped, and perfectly louche--and most suitable for the occasion as the vibe was relaxed and intimate. These pants, I discovered, are by . Of course! And they go with a matching silk-trimmed , creating what could be the coolest suit (pictured above) I've seen in a while. While I'd love to splurge on the whole shebang, I'm thinking something derivative will do, like this pajama-inspired that will make me feel both cool and comfy.

This faux fur sweater vest had me with its stripes, of course, but its layering possibilities are also delightfully endless.

This pretty scalloped top will do nicely to shake up the usual jeans-and-tee uniform. It also comes in white .

A lace-up flat in do-it-all denim is totally in step with my fall style. (Also, the ginormous sales at both Shopbop--get code --and Net-A-Porter---- start today! I will publish my favorites from each shortly.)

This cape-like bell-sleeved blouse is all the holiday drama I need!

I recently indulged in a midweek two-day getaway with a friend, who brought only one but great jacket, which saw her through every lunch, dinner, and more. I'm thinking this statement jacket by Maje could do the same thing for me next time!

I've always been a ruffle girl, and fortunately, there's no better time to be one than this season, as feminine frills are in full bloom, ornamenting tops to fanciful Victorian effect. I prefer these pretty possibilities by , , , , , , and . (Note: there can be too much of this good thing as I wanted 's ground-breaking version, but it looked too Little House on The Prairie when I tried it on in Paris.)

Scallop detailing gives this top an edgy, cool--yet still work-friendly--vibe.

My twin sister and I met at Topshop in New York yesterday afternoon and found each other wearing matching outfits. Therefore, it's no surprise that we both bought the same new shoulder-baring crop top, above, concurring that this beaut will suit dinners out in Manhattan, LA and everywhere in between.
