I love the preppiness of this Mayle cardigan, the muted brown color, and the the interesting strap detail at the collar

Spotted these Corso Como "Capri" boots at Nordstrom the other day, and while I usually don't like boots that look like part of a leg in a regular shoe, these were actually not that weird, and I do love a covered heel...

Pants are one of those things you HAVE to try on to know how it'll fit, but these pinstripe wide leg trousers from Elizabeth and James seem like they would look great and classy on just about anyone.

This sweater from the women's department at the Gap looks great on men, too. I had to see it to believe it, and it totally works. Only $68 (and even cheaper if you share).

This bag by Andarei has got me under a spell of some sort. The more I look at it, the more I find to like. The leather paneling and the patent finish give it a luxe look that's sure to elicit arm envy from onlookers.
