Layer It

Layering is one thing that I wish I did just a little bit better. When the temperature drops so does my urge to want to dress up, but you really can look chic and be warm. Elie Tahari did it well in this look from Fall '10.

I love the the baggy shorts over tights with boots and when you add something belted over top, it looks effortless and stylish. That is the way to layer!

NYFW Trend: Shearling

Boy by Band of Outsiders, Adam, Nanette Lepore, Reed Krakoff, 3.1 Phillip Lim

Boy oh boy, so many cool outerwear pieces to choose from this week! With this winter being one of the coldest and snowiest in a long time, it's like the designers took a look at how people dressed in the cold and said: we have got to do something about this.

One trend that stood out was shearling and honestly, it has never looked so cool. I feel like shearling jackets are hard to feminize, but designers like Adam and Phillip Lim fashioned them in cute, cropped, lust-worthy silhouettes.

I am dying for one, but I'm also dying to not wear coats anymore so I am happy to wait a looong time to wear one.

NYFW Trend: Opera Gloves

Vera Wang, Marc Jacobs, Carolina Herrera, Pamella Roland, Andy & Debb

There is something so sexy about opera gloves. Maybe it's because they look timeless and vintage and bring us back to a time when dressing up was mandatory in society. I personally like them because they stretch my clothes out longer into the winter months. The way over the knee socks paired with sandals take my shoes into fall/winter, opera gloves help stretch my sleeveless and short sleeve tops and dresses further. Case in point:
