Silk Pleated Posy Top
An embellished silk tank adds life to a simple ensemble. I'm loving this one, with its artfully pleated necklace and floral embellishment. It's feminine, but not too overly dainty - perfect beneath a suit jacket or with jeans and heels.

Floral Print Silk Crossover V-Neck Dress
A dark, dramatic party dress is essential for dressy occasions. I love the combination of seasonal gray and unexpected florals on this little silk style. Its unique silhouette makes it a standout.

Gemma Redux Blue Agate and Chain Necklace
Bringing a little edge to its girly charm, this fabulous Gemma Redux necklace unites gorgeous dark blue agate chunks with strands and strands of gold and silver chains. Not only will it brighten up any outfit, it's also bound to start a few conversations!

Via Repubblica 'Swag' Studded Zip Pull Suede Tote
Roomy, polished and more than capable of holding my daily essentials (and then some), this gorgeous wine-colored tote is a fusion of edgy luxury. Even the smallest smattering of studs instantly toughens up the suede material.

Acclimate Sweater
I love the easy sophistication of this little wool coat. It's beautifully structured, with a cinched waist and dramatic wide collar, and is the perfect partner for jeans or dresses.

Denim Pencil Skirt
A denim pencil skirt is one of my favorite foundation pieces. It's easy to wear year round and looks exceptionally polished in cool weather with tights, tall boots and a sleek sweater - easily one of my favorite looks.

Nine West Shoes, Rontae Ankle Boots
A sleek black boot is definitely essential to see me into winter. I love these tall boots from Nine West: they play well with everything in my wardrobe, and they offer more than enough height to satisfy the heel addict in me (without causing any aches and pains in the process).

Blended Wool Long Sweater
I'm always chilly, so a sweater dress is essential if I want an alternative to jeans and trousers. This pretty plum style is made with a touch of soft cashmere for an ultra-cozy finish. Perfect with leggings, jeans and beneath blazers, it's versatile enough to wear in myriad ways.

YARNZ Floral Swirl Scarf
Few designers do cozy, unique scarves as well as Yarnz. This floral swirl style has been my go-to for a few weeks now, thanks in part to its touchably soft cashmere and its pretty print.
$165 at shopbop.com
Chanel Rouge Allure Laque
Amazing: That's the best way to describe Chanel's Rouge Allure Laque, a satiny lip color with a creamy finish. It lasts for hours without any reapplication necessary, and the colors are outstanding, ranging from bold yet surprisingly wearable reds to everyday-appropriate rosy-nudes.
