After weeks of wearing what seems like endless pairs of heels to countless holiday parties, it’s time to give your feet a breather. These comfortable flats feel every bit as cozy as your favorite pair of slippers, yet exude a luxurious quality thanks to a soft metallic hue called rose cream. If that’s enough to lure you in, think of the versatility - you can wear these with everything, year round. Also in denim and silver.
Until you see the two together, you’re never quite sure how two completely opposing colors will correspond. In the case of the olive canvas and burgundy faux leather trim on this bag, it’s a case of opposites attracting in a big way. The tough sensibility of rugged canvas is always a no-fail option, but this offers a touch of elegance - and even some playfulness, thanks to its polka dot lining. Ideal for work or play, it’s a smart choice for toting all of the essentials.
Day or night, these sturdy boots are perfect to wear for their impressive rugged-meets-chic style. Made of plush, cognac colored suede, they’re accented by an aged brass buckle at the ankle. It’s just the right combo for bringing a touch of understated luxury to your weekend basics, and since it’s inspired by the classic riding boot, it will never go out of style.
Laid-back casual is just as appealing at this time of year as getting all dressed up. This warm knit cardigan is something you can wear absolutely everywhere, whether you’re adding an extra layer while sitting at the office or bundling up by the fire with loved ones. Available in a whopping 10 colors, there’s one for everyone - and at this price, it’s worth grabbing a couple to mix into your wardrobe.
