WHERE: Snowed In

Crazy weather we’re having. Whether you’re snowed in or trekking through the snow powdered streets, being warm and cozy can still be stylish.

This sweater (not entire outfit) is sexy yet warm. Boy By Band Of Outsiders takes knit to a new level with this silver large knit top.

Just because the skies are grey doesn’t mean your wardrobe should match. Play it up with some color from Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Preppy never looked so good with this white and navy knit by Lacoste. Yes, it’s short sleeves but one of our favorite looks is layering with a long sleeve to keep even warmer.

WHY: Love The Bag, Love The Shoes

We’ll take one of everything. Is it too early to create outfits from Fall ’10’s genius?

Burberry – be still our hearts. The cobalt blue brings tears to our eyes, studded clutches have us grabbing, and belted, slouchy booties…could we ask for anything more?

We can’t splurge on the above but you will definitely see us in something similar.

Thank you Christopher Bailey. Putting the trench in your back pocket and going for bold. Smart.

Sunday Sit Down: The Cardigans

For me, as you may have noticed, fashion is about accessorizing. Adding a bracelet, ring, and/or necklace to a drab outfit can make all the difference. Just recently, I have decided to place cardigans in the accessory category.

There are so many different types of cardigans that allow us to wear tank tops and t-shirts in the winter! My favorite is a leopard print number passed down from my mother. I wear it way too often.

Check out some of these unique ways to wear cardigans from the spring ‘10 runways. Spring is just around the corner. I can feel it.

The great thing about cardigans is the versatility. Richard Chai shows that you can wear one with a gorgeous flowing dress.

Burberry shows how a belt breaks up this monochromatic cardigan look.

Metallics are the tone of the season. We love this one by Jaeger London – but be careful when converting cardigan into dress. Make sure it’s a tasteful length and won’t be mistaken for “Wow-she forgot to put on pants today.”

So when shopping for and dressing in cardigans the possibilities are endless. Be sure to mix and match with the great options below -

WHEN: Trendsetter?

I’ve been wearing my hair like this for years – on days when I don’t feel like blow drying to nights when I just want to lounge in my pjs. I’m very happy and relieved that my messy, ready in no-time do, is deemed trendy.

Have a great weekend!

WHERE: Row, Row, Row Your Boat…

gently down the runway with Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. The twin’s collection, The Row, was beautifully ethereal with a touch of edge. This was demonstrated with tight black leather, sheer tops, and animal print skirts and clutches.

This look screams bad a$$. The all back ensemble with leather accents make for a strong start.

Then the collection flowed into delicate looks like this white sheer outfit worn by our favorite – Sasha Pivovarova.

The twins were on trend with this one shoulder number. We love how they added draping accents in order to upgrade a basic black dress.

And ever since Alber Elbaz went out on a limb combining navy with black – we love the idea more. This outfit is risky but the print, sheer sleeves, and bronze clutch work well together.

The collection was fresh and fun. We love what the Olsens are doing. And from what we hear – the show was a full house.

WHAT: Fur Here Or To Go

Marc Jacobs can do whatever he wants. Skirts for men. Underwear on the outside. Sue Christian Audigier for trade-dress and trademark infringement.

Jacobs continues to take fashion to a new level –this season – fur everywhere. Our animal instinct took over as we browsed through his latest collection. We developed a hunger for more exciting and innovative shows like his. The show began with a clean grey and neutral palette quickly merging into basic coats and structured bags covered in fur.

I’m not one for fur but (what used to be) fashion is art. It’s an artist’s expression, inspiration, and talent put on display for all, who appreciate and hate, to devour.

WHAT: Alice + Olivia

Alice + Olivia’s presentation mixed flirty with biker babe. My style isn’t normally frilly but with black leather jackets, metallic trench coats, and herem pants thrown in the mix, I don’t mind a little ruffle.

After launching at Barneys eight years ago designer, Stacey Bendet, has been on Vanity Fair’s best dressed list two years in a row. It’s no wonder we love her newest collection!

Here is one of our favorite looks from Fall 2010 -

The look above is our daily outfit with some great accents and upgrades. Bendet makes it easy for us to feel less like a cartoon character and more fashion forward. Each piece makes a great separate – herem pants with a white t-shirt, black leather jacket with a mini skirt…

Here are some great finds from her current collection -
