Sweater Weather: Cozy Chic Finds

{ Via: Vogue }

Sweater weather is finally here! Don't you just love it? You can't have too many, especially if you wear denim. Even if you don't, a stylish sweater tops off anything.  This year's cozy crop features statement sleeves, belts, cold shoulders and embellishments. From feathers to faces, this edit is anything but boring. Get cozy and shop! 

HERE: 15 Favorites For Fall

Celestial Sweater

An Effortless metallic sweater pieced with statement bell sleeves in a luxe velvet. How fab!

Everlasting Cashmere Sweater
One of my favorite things, a cashmere sweater. Make it oversize with delicious details like lace up sides and volume sleeves, and you create cozy chic!

Varsity Sleeve Stocking Top
Straight off the runway, and so very fashion forward. The sleeves are great.
Calvin Klein

Feleesha Sweater
Playful and pretty. It's all about the sleeve.
Club Monaco 

Tulle Trimmed Cardigan
I love a look that appears to be more expensive than it is. Though shown with a simple tee, it also could be quite dressy with a pretty sheer top beneath.
Anthropologie

She's Got A Way Black Turtleneck
If you are doing a turtleneck this season, this is the way to go. A budget buy.
Lulus

Stace Face Tunic Sweater
Signature style from Stacey Bendel. This fun sweater will get you noticed.

Boutique Moschino 
Striped with style and a big dose of whimsy!

Feather Trim Cardi
Have you noticed the Fall feather trend? I love the whimsy of it all. This sweater in a pretty pecan is just so much fun.
J.Crew

Cashmere Belted Sweater
One of my faves of the edit. The combination of the obi belt and the chic color just feels fresh for Fall.
Ann Taylor 

Something Navy Cardigan
Oh this sweater has so many things going for it (the belt is not one of them, it's sold individually). Part of a design collab with Something Navy blogger Arielle Noa Charnas, I just love it. Click to see the fabulous details at the back of the sweater.
Nordstrom 

The Winsor

One part cardigan and another part cape. The wool and cashmere and antique brass details all add up to Fall finery at its' best.

Ralph Lauren

Chiffon Cashmere Sweater
From The Neiman Marcus Cashmere Collection. You can count on Neiman's to offer fine quality at a fair price in this beautiful collection. Pair this sweater with velvet pants.
Neiman Marcus 

Jeweled Cardigan

Fresh For Fall: 12 New Beauty Products

{ Via: Vogue } 

Makeup and Skincare - I could play in those aisles all day. I guess one could say that I have a beauty habit. And I'm not mad about it. If you are like me, you want to know what is the newest and greatest when it comes to your own beauty regime. Here's a round up of some of best new products that have caught my eye for Fall. 

HERE: 12 New Products To Love

L'Oreal Paris X Balmain Lip Color

Finally something we can all afford from Balmain! Allure magazine says that these 12 matte shades are pretty darn good. Might be worth a try at only $14 with Free Shipping at

Barneys New York

Natura Bisse’s Inhibit High-Definition Patches
Single sheet masks are all the rage now. I have to say, they are not my favorites. Most of them are to wet and drip everywhere. These are not those. This is a weekly system that requires a time commitment of 3 hours. Inhibit High Definition Patches are  a patented technology of self-dissolving micro-cones that address specific areas to rejuvenate the skin with targeted precision. Read more about this new innovation in skincare at
Neiman Marcus

Maybelline Curvitude Liner

Don't you love products that make sense? The ergonomic handle on this little liner will give new life to your winged liner. Just let the brush do it! 
Ulta

L'incroyable Blowdry Crème
New from Kérastase Paris. Like all of this brand's products, this creme is opulent. It is a shapable heat styling cream for normal to thick hair. It is said to provide for 3X faster flat ironing (vs no product), unparalleled shape memory, 96 HR extreme anti-frizz control and 450* thermo-protection. Sounds like a winner.
Amazon

Rouge Dior Double Rouge
 Dior now makes it easy to color and highlight your lips at the same time. Inspired by professional makeup artistry, Double Rouge combines two makeup trends: matte and metal.  In a single application, it produces an ombré effect with a highly pigmented matte contour and a light-catching metal heart.
Nordstrom

Bobbi Brown Remedies Skin Wrinkle Treatment No 25
I love Bobbi's simple approach to beauty and skincare. This new product for fighting the look of aging appears to be quite promising. Just read the reviews!  It is a comprehensive, multi-action solution for wrinkles and loss of firmness that addresses visible signs of aging. The result is a visibly smoother, more lifted look. I'll take that!
Bobbi Brown 

Phyto Pigments Makeup Collection
Want to switch to "clean" beauty products? This is a great place to start. Under Gwyneth Paltrow’s creative leadership, Juice Beauty’s scientists have developed this new collection of high performance makeup made with certified organic ingredients. The collection is quite lovely with the prettiest colors.
Juice Beauty

BAREPRO Performance Wear Liquid Foundation 
New to bareMinerals. The luxuriously creamy liquid contains bamboo stem extract for a naturally matte, soft focus finish, while papaya enzymes gently improve skin's texture both immediately and over time. With good-for-skin ingredients that won't clog pores, barePRO® Performance Wear Liquid Foundation is Makeup "So Pure You Can Sleep in It." And though I haven't tried this new product yet, I use the Complexion Rescue daily, and love it. If you aren't using a brush to apply your foundation, you should be. bareMinerals brushes are fabulous!
Bare Minerals

Christian Louboutin Eye Amplifiers Collection

" The Louboutin collection of expert eye products is designed to provide definition to a woman’s eyes and to amplify the essence of her gaze. " The packaging is as beautiful as his shoes, with price tags to match. Harpers Bazaar loves the lash lacquer, calling it "decadent, inky, and black." The only caveat is, even after all of the buildable volume and dramatic length, you will still have to use a curler.

Nordstrom

Farmacy Honey Drop Lightweight Moisturizer with Echinacea GreenEnvy

There's so much to like about this product. For me, it's all about the farm-grown, hand-picked botanicals, like Cupuacu butter beads from the Amazon rainforest. Then there is a powerful complex of non-GMO fermented soy, mistletoe and Japanese bloodgrass combined with Tsubaki and meadowfoam seed oils that plump and hydrate the skin.  The GreenEnvy™ honey is full of potent natural antioxidants and is made only by bees that live on their farm and pollinate the Echinacea GreenEnvy flowers.  It's a beauty of a product! I love the delivery system, too.
Sephora 

Henri Bendel Perfume Mists
Bendel's introduces a brand new line of flirty fragrances. With scent names like Lavender and Cotton, Amber and Casis, Vanilla and Sandalwood, Eucalyptus and Sea Salt, and Jasmine and Bergamot, there is something for every Bendel Girl. Petite bottles at affordable prices. You may just want to try more than one. 
Henri Bendel

Glossier Body Hero Duo
This is something I plan to try this Fall and Winter. The affordable duo works together to give you clean and moisturized skin all day long. Natural oils like Coconut, Sunflower Seed, and Grapeseed oils are combined with a Orange Blossom Neroli Blend for a soft baby-like scent.

When I saw this photo, I immediately could relate. This is how I feel with a broken leg. Maybe if I padded up myself with balloons, I could go outside and enjoy this Fall weather. No, wait, I can't get thru the door. Yes, folks, I am still on the mend, but that doesn't mean that I can't find humor in the situation! There's an elephant in the room, and its me. :)
