The devil is in the details, as this cozy topper quite clearly proves. Without its front horn closure, shawl collar, fabric buttons and softly rounded hem, it would be just another marled sweater - but thanks to all of those elements, it lets you achieve effortless chic in a matter of seconds. Throw it on with jeans and boots, or try it with brown pants for a cool, polished look. Also in black.$59.99 (was $80) at lordandtaylor.com

Though we love a good trend, there’s something to be said for the inimitable classics, too - those never-fail, timeless pieces we turn to again and again. Step into these red pumps, for example, and you can’t help but feel just a bit more polished, sexier and pulled together than you otherwise would. They add a little punch to your work ensembles, pop against neutral trousers and show off a great pedicure, too. What’s not to love? 
A sturdy bag done in a rich tan is a fall essential. With its glazed, buckled looking faux leather and smart details, this hobo is a great choice to see you through the season. It’s thoughtfully designed to address the needs of the modern woman - pockets for your electronics, compartments for your makeup - and features plenty of space within to hold the day’s necessities. Just a hint of lightweight gold hardware gives it an edge, resulting in an endlessly chic, time-honored look you’ll love for years. The reasonable price is just a bonus! In three colors.
Bold, fabulous and completely affordable: that’s a combination we always love. Priya Kakkar brings all the necessary elements together once again with this six-piece bangle set. Two wider sizes, accented by a floral border, give it a substantial, notice-me appearance, and four thinner bangles, each traced with a funky zigzag border, complete the set. It’s beautiful with evening dresses, cozy knits, boyfriend blazers and more, and brings just the right amount of sparkle and shine to your fall wardrobe.
