I love this time of year when I can start wrapping up in comfy layers. If you’re in the mood for some layer-love, then check out this lightweight cardigan from Pink Rose. It’s now on sale for $28.50!

Available in black, brown and gray.

What I wore a couple of days ago:

• Sweater: $25 at Century 21
• T-shirt: $20 at Lohmann’s
  
• Jeans: Topshop; $100ish Singapore dollars
  I’d convert the price to US dollars, but I’m not sure I want to see the results after yesterday’s stock market crash…
• Belt: Steve Madden, $13 at Filene’s Basement
• Shoes: Marc Jacobs, $132 at Last Call Neiman Marcus
  They’re this style, but in purple suede with black leather trim — and they’re actually comfortable to walk in!
• Bag: Longchamp
• Watch: Seiko…

This knit-trim charmeuse blouse from Chadwicks features one of my favorite ultra-fem details: short puff sleeves. In addition to looking stylish, they help balance out ultra-fem hips.

The top is available in three colors and in sizes 6-16.

Their subtle, yet stunning elegance makes these smoky quartz and 14k gold stud earrings the perfect go-to earrings for fall.

What to wear to travel in style? Denim skirt, flat shoes and a bag that’s just big enough for in-flight essentials like an iPod and some chocolate.

What I wore:

• Denim skirt: Macy’s, $59.40
• Polo shirt: Uniqlo, $5.90 on clearance
• Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs, $115 at Loehmanns
  They’re these MJ flats, in the black-and-white colorway here. Love ‘em!
• Bag: Longchamp
• Watch: Fossil, $20 on sale.
• Bracelet: Express, $14.50

Where I wore it: On the plane back from Florida to NYC

With their classic shape and lovely etched leaf design, these Timberland flora tall boots are a stylish way to keep your toesies warm this winter whether you get them in black, tan, or both.

What happens when a serial over-dresser tries to dress down? Their flip-flops wind up paired with a logo bag… but hey, it’s casual for me! Outfit details:

• Tank top: Witchery clearance store (years ago)
• Skirt: Gap via local thrift store, $8
• Flip flops: Free! (magazine freebie)
• Bag: Longchamp
• Watch: Seiko $75; thrifted for $10

Went out for gluten-free pizza with Meg, for my second-last day in Florida :(

Easily brighten up any outfit with this large, CZ sunflower ring from NVie Designs. Over-sized cocktail rings are one of my favorite fall trends that I look forward to wearing for years to come — especially since my husband bought me this lovely ring that I wrote about a couple months ago.

How to wear a calf-length skirt without looking fusty? Add a tank top and a bold cuff. Outfit details:

• Top: Target, thrifted in 2004; still going strong!
• Skirt: Thrifted, $8
• Sandals: Steve Madden, $120 on sale
• Bag: Longchamp 4—4
  Christmas gift from husband in 2005 ;)

Still in Florida with Meg :) Photo taken while building the set for another show we’re working on.

Just bought these and I can’t wait ’til they arrive!

They tap into fall’s statement shoe trend, without being too obviously 2008 — and wedges are much more comfortable than stilettos. Plus the price is very right :)
