#Obsessed: Theonne's Auguste Tuxedo Coat
Winter has arrived here in New York City, much to my chagrin. The one plus side: coat season. While some live for what has been dubbed "sweater season," I have to argue that the best cold weather piece is a wool coat. They come in many shapes, colors, and textiles. Combing the internet, looking for that perfect one to add to my collection, I stumbled upon this beauty from Theonne. Menswear-inspired, the simple, clean lines lend a timeless feel, while the soft blue hue breathes life into the into the tuxedo-style coat. A classic case of feminine and masculine coming together to create a dashing look.

& Other Stories Makes Its US Debut
& Other Stories online shop launched in the US today, hosting a
selection drool-worthy and totally affordable pieces. A sister-brand of
fast-fashion giant H&M, & Other Stories is ultrachic, with a
higher standard for quality and unique design. After launching in March
of 2013, this youngling brand quickly caught the eyes of fashionistas, and
now that it is available in the US, we’re jumping on board. Here are
five fab pieces from & Other Stories that are worth obsessing over.
You can hit up the e-commerce site at stories.com/us.
Online shopping not your thing? & Other Stories’ IRL shop opens
October 17 in Soho. If you’re in the neighborhood–or desperate to peep
the collection in person–swing by 575 Broadway (between Houston and
Prince) in good ol’ New York, New York.
What & Other Stories pieces made your shopping list? Sound off in the comments!
1. Outerwear: SAVE!
2. Dress: SAVE!
63% wool, under $300, and a genius geometric print? Yes, please!
 |
| Wool Blend Coat, $245, stories.com |
2. Dress: SAVE!
This leopard print dress is great for fall,
with long sleeves and a sweeping hemline. But don’t fear, the
slightly-plunging back keeps the look fresh and unexpected.
 |
| Mid-Length Leopard Dress, $130, stories.com |
3. Shoes: SPLURGE!
There are two pieces I never skimp on:
shoes and handbags. Sure, a $300 dollar price tag can be cringe
inducing, but when these items undergo so much wear, spending the extra
money to begin with can help keep them from getting to the “tear.” These
oxblood beauts will carry you through the fall and winter, and the
stacked heel will make them extra-comfy–perfect for holiday party
season.
 |
| Leather Ankle Boots in Dark Red, $275, stories.com |
4. Skirts: SAVE!
Classic and feminine, this skirt will easily be a staple in your weekly wardrobe. And at only $60, it should be.
 |
| A-Line Skirt, $60, stories.com |
5. Bracelets: SPLURGE(ish)!
There’s nothing to squawk about.
This is the one bird I will happily come in contact with. This chic
cuff will amp up any simply outfit, and put more bold looks on another
level of daring. While most fashion jewelry I don’t spend too much on,
some statement pieces are worth a little extra. So I say SPLURGE…ish.

Move Over, Elsa! There's a New HBIC Around
I've been stuck on Frozen for months now, not sure anything could top Anna's charm or Elsa's incredible powers (girl made a castle and FAB outfit out of ICE!). However, the beloved, and often argued over, Barbie is celebrating her 55th anniversary this year! And she's as timeless as ever–probably due to all the plastic surgery (get it? She's made of plastic!). Barbie has seen the styles of the past five-and-a-half decades come and go, from her premier in 1959 when she donned the know iconic chevron black-and-white bathing suit to her to her '70s funk period to her 1997 costume recreating Christian Dior's revolutionary "New Look" to her 2001 classic trench and heritage check-printed accessories by Burberry. The doll turned famous figure has become a fashionista in her own right, and this year she's really upping her game.
Mattel, the maker of Barbie, recently announced Barbie will soon pay homage to a fellow fashion icon–the often controversial and always on trend Karl Lagerfeld. In honor of her big birthday, Mattel is releasing a special limited-edition doll dressed head to toe like the fashion king. Lagerfeld, the creative director for elite brands Chanel and Fendi, has a unique look that is undeniably "Karl." Barbie will be stealing his uniform, copying the look from head to toe including his neatly tailored black blazer, white button down–or in his case, button up–shirt, fitted trousers, black cravat, fingerless gloves, and, perhaps most importantly, the signature shades. We can only hope that she'll be stealing some of his signature sass in addition to his signature wardrobe. The only thing missing? Karl's adorable and fluffy companion, Choupette.
Sorry, Elsa, Barbie Karl is totally topping your ice magic. I cannot wait for him to be immortalized! And I'm pretty sure he'll be equally enthused for the release of his mini-me. After all, he did say "Vanity is the healthiest thing in life." And what's more vain than having one of the world's most beautiful women dress in your honor?

Bold & Beautiful: 10 Lip Colors to Heat Up Your Winter
There is no better way to instantly pull together a look than a bold lip. With the snow piling up, temperatures–and my enthusiasm for getting dressed in the morning–dropping, and plenty of winter still to come, a daring shade across my smile might just bring a little salvation. And if you've hit that "it's too cold for color, I'm wearing all black, all day, 'erry day" rut–or should i say snow bank?–in the season, adding a statement color to your makeup look can help shovel you out. (Sometimes I just cannot resist a corny pun. Or dad jokes.)
Two masters of a bold lip, and specifically a red lip, I have been fortunate enough to work for at Lucky and Harper's Bazaar. Take Lucky.com's Executive Digital Editor Verena von Pfetten who frequently sports her signature red lip stain at the office. Or Harper Bazaar's Joanna Hillman whose rouged lips give her a look of power and assertion, plus inspired many an intern to steal the fashionista's beauty look, not complete without a side-braid. And while red is always a great go-to, and included in this roundup, there are lots of other fun shades you should add to your makeup bag, too.
Check out the full list below, and if you dare to wear any of these bold hues, send me your pic and I'll feature it on And the Wardrobe. Happy lipsticking!
1. You can always count on Marc Jacobs to bring the WOW! factor, and this flirty fuchsia matte lipstick lives up to that standard.

Galloping Into the New Year
Happy (belated) Chinese New Year! 2014 has been dubbed the year of the horse. And for a girl who loves animals just as much as she loves fashion, it's a perfect excuse to combine the two. While horses are a more tame animal compared to last year's snake, they offer just as much pzazz in a print, and are a fashion staple. Brands like Longchamp, Coach, and Hermès have incorporated horses into their logos and designs for decades. And if it's good enough for Hermès, it's good enough for me. Here are 10 affordable ways to put a little pony in your wardrobe, plus a couple splurge-worthy pieces I had to share.
