It has finally gotten cold enough where I am from to bring out the sweaters and socks.  For that reason, I’ve decided it’s time to start sweater shopping! Now, if only I could find a way to wear this MARC by Marc Jacobs Raleigh Sequence Sweater everyday! The wool sweater comes with row after row of these sequins along with a hook closure that make it a lot fancier than my everyday plain cotton sweater that I wear to work.
 
This would be a great addition to the closet of the girl who needs something to go over the LBD or in addition to a …read more

Since wrapping up in a cardigan or long sweater usually results in a cocoon-like silhouette sans feminine lines, adding a sleek belt is the simplest way to highlight that hourglass figure and stay comfortably toasty as temperatures drop.

This Vince Striped Sophie Long Sweater offers a fine mix of cashmere, wool, and alpaca–the three little sheep that have offered their coats to keep you warm and cozy for the season–the contrast knit of black and carbon makes it a great addition for the  grey ensembles decking your closet.
The sweater features dropped shoulder seams and large dolman sleeves; layering is a cinch, …read more

This Anna Sui Sparkle Sleeveless Top is ideal for a night on the town–sequins and lace, all tied up with black chiffon and crystal detailing. The perfect accompaniment to a special toast.
Cheers.

When karate class is over, a black belt of different sorts might be a more realistic venture.
The classic kimono has transformed into dresses, tunic tops, and nightgowns for the year, and this Kimono Top by Theory pulls together a fresh look with wide leg pants and waist-defining top. Flared sleeves and a cowel neckline bring it together for a figure-flattering silhouette.
Since super-wide belts are making their mark on the season’s trends, it’s one way to kick some Eastern inspiration into your closet:

Another step to sharing your global personality. . .

When date night rolls around and there’s still no chic outfit in sight, the camisole top is a valuable backup plan–just one way to accomodate for those, ‘but what will I wear?’ moments as you dig through the closet.
Since the dress-me-up Fairy Godmother is clearly nowhere to be found, Versace’s magic wand bring us this: the Versace Gathered Camisole Top in 100% viscose and a discreet side zipper to squeeze yourself in.

The gathered bust flatters the neckline better than any v-neck in town, and the crisscross back makes this a cut above the average tank top.

Sequins are making a fast flash forward into Fall this year (apologies for that tongue twister), and there’s no reason to cut corners with the season’s cardigans and wraps.   
The Lisli Tiffany Sequin Cardigan is a lightweight, hand-sewn piece with ¾ sleeves and barely-there collar.  A nice addition to rich brown pants for the evening, or a showstopping addition to some dark wash denim.

And you thought sequins were just for the prom; this one’s available in a delectable champagne beige.
