12th Street by Cynthia Vincent's Tourmaline Mini Dress is great as a party frock because it's not a traditional holiday color, so you'll stand out from the sea of black satin. It'll also transition well into Spring.

So many fingerless gloves, so little time. These are just some of the ones I found today! Personally I like the black ones by Generra (check out the post on notcot.com to see 'em!)

I may never forgive her for unleashing that "I'm not a plastic bag" thing on us, but this patent leather Kennedy tote by Anya Hindmarch... I sorta want it

Haven't worn Vans since jr. high but maybe I will again now that they have a cute girl version of the slip on

Free People wool jacket with ruffle detail. We love this jacket! It's stylish and cozy with lots of button details, a ruffle down the front and toggles for tightening around the mid-section. New for Fall!

If it were up to me, I would spend my winters in hibernation, lazing about the apartment in a cashmere ballerina sweater, high-waisted hotpants, and legwarmers by Eres.

I love the exaggerated volume of this grey wool cape by Safe. I'd play it up with ultra skinny jeans tucked into ankle booties, and accessorize with fall's ubiquitous fingerless gloves.

Wow, amazing colors on this silk top by Zero Maria Cornejo
