The Willa Straight Leg Jeans by Anlo are described as “Old school East Village rocker style” but believe it or not, these pants are certainly keeping up with new school trends. The black skinny denim jeans are made up of 2% polyeurathane, which gives them that stand out shiny look. We think these jeans are a more versatile alternative to the vinyl leggings and leather pants that are merging at the moment. Layer a pair with gray and white graphic tees or throw on a sexy fitted black vest to complete the look.

No, it’s not a deisnger handbag, it just looks like one. The Loeffler Randall Satchel is pretty much the epitome of the chic and cheap style that Target strives to achieve. The short braided handle, woven fabric and silver charm are all too cute, but it’s the shape of the bag that really sets it apart. This bag has all of the details of a high end handbag at only a sliver of the price. In either brown patent or cream, the Loeffler Randal Satchel will be a great transition piece from Winter through Spring.

A ribbon tied around your finger never looked passe until the Yarborough Jewelry Ribbon Ring rolled around. It’s delicate, but not so much that it won’t jive with plain tees and sweaters on your more casual days. Try it on in champagne (shown), but keep in mind that you can also get it in a fresh pink color as well. The bow measures 1.5″ wide, which makes it perfect to layer with thin stackable rings of your own.

This sophisticated and fashionable handbag is perfect for the woman who wants a designer purse without an overload of logos. The Alessandro Dell’Acqua Quilted Handbag is 14″H x 14″L x 6″ in dimensions, a handle with a 7″ drop and a detatchable shoulder strap, just because versatility is always good. Done in a soft, sueded grey leather this handbag has a draw string that wraps around from front to back and stitching from top to bottom that makes it anything but boring. Hold on to this bag tight, it will be the envy of many!

Classic doesn’t have to be boring, and people who think it is don’t know about pieces like this Black Halo Jackie O Dress in Plum. It’s sleek and finely tailored, but that doesn’t mean that your figure won’t be highlighted perfect with its clean lines. A cowlneck drapes across your bust and a belt cinches it in, but that’s not all– it’s even got a va-va-voom back slit. This Jackie O Dress looks perfect with a pair of “I’m afraid of heights!” stilettos complete with saucy bows. Classics may not be boring, but there’s no harm in dressing them up, either.

Color blocking has never looked as good as it does on the T Bags Teri Open Back Sweater Dress. This mini dress is demure in the front with 3/4 length sleeves and gathering at the neckline, but it’s sexy from the back with a plunging key hole. But it’s the black complimenting the grey on this dress that really makes it as cute as it is; the muted colors are anything but dull. Not much accessorizing is needed for this dress, but it’s the perfect way to show off a fab pair of shoes.

Pour yourself a glass of eggnog and kick back!

This Chan Chan Side Button Tie Neck Jacket has the nonchalant look of a hunting jacket or a mini trench, but it’s so much more appealing than your basic coat. A stylish neck tie loops around and ties off to the side, and the asymmetric interest continues with a six-button off center fastening. For warmer weather, leave the coat open and fastened just at the bottom– it has perfect drape.
