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

 RGB Beaded Cardigan

A sweater that makes two statements in one. The hand worked collar is something special with pearl finish beads. Available in three colors.

Frances Valentine

Jayda Shoulder Drape Sweater

Featured once before in the What To Wear To A Fall Wedding post, this style must be included today. It is such a happy color with beautiful details.

Let's Play Dress Up: What Would You Wear To The Golden Globes?

The Golden Globes air this Sunday and they are trending all over the Internet. Most of the Red Carpet gowns are custom made for the attendees.  But how do us mere mortals play dress up when we have our own special "Red Carpet" events? I've found the best that can be had for you and I. The choices are slim. Which is your favorite? The crystal clutch gets my vote. It's the only evening bag I would ever need!

Leopard has now become a fashion classic. But
this year, the designers changed it up a bit. The 
print became bigger and a bit more colorful. Often, this animal print was mixed with plaid, dots, or stripes.  You will notice a new modern
vibe to the old standard.  Here: My edit of 
spot on styles for you and your lifestyle.
