The windows are open and a cooler Fall breeze is blowing in. It’s time to think about cooler weather fashion, and that means putting summer’s casual staples into hibernation. The budget and style conscious woman is not necessarily focused on the most trendy items of the season, but rather new building blocks to ground her Fall wardrobe with.
Basics with a twist are the perfect nod to the desire for a new Fall wardrobe, without having to revamp your entire closet.

The holiday season is officially upon us, commencing with none other than our beloved Thanksgiving meal. This historic feast represents the love and appreciation we have for our families, our relationship to the nation we live in, and how much we enjoy getting together to eat delicious food. But let’s be real. Thanksgiving, amongst all its wonderful heartfelt associations, really means the dawn of holiday season dressing. When the office parties start and Church gatherings multiply over night, not only will you need more options, you will need festive, appropriate, beautiful outfits.
Before panic sets in, take a deep breath and start at the beginning….

Featuring the Dolce Vita Faux Fur Jacket at Shopbop.com
Friend or faux, there’s a fur for everyone. Shown as a full on look or as a strong accent on winter weather staples, there’s a style of fur to satisfy any desire for luxury. Bundle up in fur trimmed boots and mittens, or opt for a classic parka with a fur trimmed hood. If the outdoors doesn’t beckon you can still take part, the soft touch of a fur clutch will stave off those winter blues.

“Clothes and jewelry should be startling; individual”
-Alexander McQueen
We all have the ability transform our look any way we choose. Individuality is the key to wearing a great accessory, because, at the end of the day the beauty of an accessory is that you wear it, it doesn’t wear you…
