Are you feeling the chill?
I certainly am, and it’s so well-timed for the Express Outerwear sale.
Through tomorrow, if you visit Express.com, you will save 30% on all women’s outerwear. That means finds like this awesome wool military coat for just over $100.
I love the military coat look – it’s very trendy right now, but it’s so classic as well, and the polished hardware gives it the extra pop it needs to shine.
If that’s not a great way to stay warm, I don’t know what is!
Jeggings: We Meet at Last

Jeggings – a jeans/leggings hybrid – is a big trend this season, but until yesterday, I had yet to try a pair.
Then, I open up my mailbox and am greeted with Grane Electric Stretch Denim jean-leggings.
Essentially, jeggings are a streamlined skinny jean – and I love them. Then are super-slimming, comfortable, and look great with this season’s trendy high boots.
Ladies, note, this style is Juniors-sized, so play it safe and go up a size when ordering online. (Or just go to the store and try a pair on!)
What do I love even more? I just noticed they are on sale …read more

However in tough economic times, it’s just not smart to splurge on a luxurious, expensive dress for every event and party.

Are you getting ready to up your wardrobe for winter? If you are, you are probably wondering exactly what is big – and what is the most important wardrobe-additions to make.
I consulted the fabulous Ann Siner, of My Sister’s Closet and realized we concur on a lot of timeless advice: i.e. responsibility is always chic. Two great ways to do this is embracing fabulous sample sale sites like ideeli or Gilt, and finding a few key items to add to your wardrobe. This may be a great new big or fabulous shoes – but it’ll be a statement piece of …read more
The fluffy look is apparently in (anew)

Say goodbye to boring cuffs!
One of the season’s trends is arm adornment.
Whether you want your arms to balloon or to billow, the look of the moment is voluminous, adding extra flare to even the simplest of styles.
This feminine silhouette also helps to balance the waistline, and everyone from Mandy Moore to Penelope Cruz have been seen wearing this season’s must-have sleeve style.
An example of the look? Silhouettes’ voluminous sleeve blouses, shown at left.

I totally, totally, don’t need and can’t afford this dress – but I can’t help but really want it!
This is the Pleated Vogue Dress from Pink Tartan’s Spring/Summer ’09 collection, and it retails for $395 – how can you not feel totally “en vogue” wearing it?
I am attending a preview of the Pink Tartan collection for the next season this coming week – I can’t wait to see what else they have coming up. (And if I can score a discount on this number…)

I am a pretty shy girl – but I have a naughty side, and Frederick’s of Hollywood always comes through at times I am ready to embrace it.
Quite honestly, what time is better than Valentine’s Day???
Here’s some of my picks for the big night. (More to come throughout the week!)
I think one of the sexiest things a girl can wear on a big night out is a hot corset with skinny jeans and a blazer. My corset of choice is the one at left, available at Fredericks. It’s made of stretch jacquard, with zip back for easy dressing (or undressing!).
