These Fall Sweaters Are Anything But Boring

Can a girl have too many sweaters? I think not. If you buy one sweater this year, make sure it makes you smile. We all need the basic black turtleneck, but that's not what this edit is about. These statement sweaters are fun, fabulous, colorful, oversized, haute and happy. Try one on for size.

Michael Kors Embroidered Cashmere Sweater

If this terrific topper doesn't bring you joy, I am not sure what would. The embroidered guitar pick inspired sequins bring some stylish shine. It's from his collection, so it is expensive but now on sale by over 75%. It's a wow!

Michael Kors

Spring Leather For Warmer Weather

{ Via: Pop Sugar }

The Spring season brings new trends, and sometimes what's old is new again. I will spare you two of the trends - hot pants and fancy exposed bras. Neon and polka dots, which I love in small doses, are also trending. Featured today is my favorite style of Spring 2020 - leather. Warm weather leather is unexpected but very wearable, especially April into June. Enjoy these fab finds.

The Black Turtleneck Is Back & Better Than Ever

The black turtleneck has been a signature look for years for so many of us. It must have been Audrey Hepburn and Diane Vreeland that inspired myself and millions of women.  It's just so effortless, and goes with everything, including denim. This wardrobe workhorse is trending again this season, but don't expect anything basic. The newest styles feature cutout design, heavy metal accents, cropped hemlines and sheer sleeves and bodices. These sweaters make a sexy statement and a chic comeback.

Fall Fashion: A Stark Contrast in Black & White

Coat Chic: Winter Warmers For Every Budget

With the early arrival of snow and cold temps this year, I thought it timely to talk coats! This season cover-ups come in a variety of shapes and colors, not exactly following any one trend. Which makes it a a wonderful time to express yourself.  With this weather, you simply cannot have too many coats. 

HERE: 18 Chic Choices

Here's a purrrrr-fectly fun coat that doesn't bust the budget. Faux fur makes this a toasty treat.

Jason gives new meaning to the "car coat."  That car better be a Bentley to measure up to this luxe look.
