    Stuart Weitzman Loafers

    I learned recently (thank you, Jeopardy) that the name for loafers was inspired by the term loafers, or lazy people, who may prefer to wear slip-on shoes without laces. But, this fall, designers seem to be working overtime — loafers are everywhere. Personally, I’m swooning over these Palmer Highshine Loafers from Stuart Weitzman. They’re a smooth calfskin with a classic almond toe finished off with a glitzy braided detailing that’s anything but lazy.

    Diptyque La Droguerie Odor-Removing Candle

    Diptyque launched a collection of household care products this past summer and it’s as good as you can imagine. They brought their signature scents to surface spray, dish soap, leather and woodcare lotion, but what impressed me most is the La Droguerie Odor-Removing Candle. It was developed to target and eliminate the molecules responsible for bad odors like diapers or leftover fish that SOMEONE decided to reheat in the microwave… hypothetically. Trust me, it’s a candle-shaped miracle.

    Adidas Gazelle Sneaker

    Adidas has reissued their ’91 Gazelle shoes, which have been a cool-girl go-to since, well, 1991. I love this muted off-white suede colorway, which is an elevated take on a neutral that I can confidently say, goes with everything in everyone’s closet.

    Gap’s CashSoft Matching Sweater Sets

    Have you ever wanted the look and feel of cashmere without the price (and dry cleaning bill) of cashmere? Same. Gap has answered our collective prayers with CashSoft. Their mix-and-match styles have the perfect cashmere-soft look for cooler days. I love these knit pants that, bonus, come in petite, regular and tall. I’m pairing them with the rib turtleneck sweater in cozy brown, but check out Gap’s full collection of CashSoft options here.

  • Textured Zara Blazers

    Textured Zara Blazers

    I don’t have a ton in common with the Princess of Wales, but we do share a love of Zara’s textured blazers. And, for good reason — season after season, Zara knocks these jackets out of the park. My current Zara blazer obsessions are this double breasted cream dream and — release the hounds(tooth) — this black houndstooth and this navy houndstooth version. Talk about a look for less.

    Ermanno Firenze Coat

    Please don’t tell my beloved turtlenecks, but one of my all-time favorite cold-weather items is coats. And, this houndstooth hooded jacket from Ermanno Firenze is my new favorite, favorite. The enlarged white houndstooth pattern is a contemporary classic that matches everything, even my pajamas. But I don’t need to sleep in it because even in waking hours, it’s the coat of my dreams.

    Heel Protectors

    Okay, so I was today-years-old when I discovered these heel stoppers were a thing. These little rubber stoppers go on the heel of your shoe and keep you from sinking into grass. I have a wedding this weekend and instead of reassessing my whole outfit in favor of a block heel for the grass, I’ll just throw these stoppers in my purse, pop them on for the portion of the festivities that occur on grass and then whip them off when I’m back on solid ground. They’re an instant wedding season must-have. In fact, I wish I had known about…

    Color Muse Colorimeter

    Our house was painted by the previous owner, so when it needs any paint touch ups, we are clueless as to what color they actually used. Enter: this shockingly accurate color matching tool from Color Muse. All you have to do is scan any flat surface and the accompanying Color Muse app will offer a match that’s over 90% accurate! Save yourself the discussion of whether the walls are Coconut or Irish Cream and buy this now.

  • Sleeveless Turtlenecks for Layering

    Sleeveless Turtlenecks for Layering

    This video was no joke, I absolutely LIVE for a layered turtleneck look under sweaters, vests, sweater vests, you name it. But sometimes all of those layers can look bulky, which is why I’ve started “faking it” with a sleeveless turtleneck. You achieve the same chic look without dislocating a finger trying to fish your turtleneck sleeve out from the arm of your sweatshirt. A few of my top picks are this turteneck top from Theory, this one from Athleta, and this turtleneck from Banana Republic Factory. If you want to go the bodysuit route — which I recommend for ultimate…

  • Aveda Volumizing Duo

    Aveda Volumizing Duo

    Batman and Robin. Thelma and Louise. Jobs and Wozniak. They’re all iconic duos, but they all pale in comparison to the Phomollient Styling Foam and Volumizing Tonic from Aveda. Both products are formulated to boost volume and shine and they do not disappoint. I work them through the roots of my hair when it’s wet, blow dry and they give me volume for DAYS.
