We like winter because it’s the time of the year where we can wear lots of layers but still look stylish.  However, we tend to put on the same coats, same jackets and same blazers everywhere we go.  We have just the thing to eliminate the winter boredom.  Add some sass to the warmth with this Alice + Olivia Long Ruffle Cardigan.

When we think about weekend bags, we always think casually slouchy, soft and flexible.  Well Elaine Turner proves that casual doesn’t always mean unstructured.  The appeal of structured weekender bags shines through the Elaine Turner Gabby Tiki Canvas.  We like the handle and the lovely pattern.

Alicia Keys gets more and more stylish every second.  We still can’t get over her fedora craze a few years back, and now, the style goddess drives us crazy again with her sophisticated attires.  We’ve been wondering about Alicia Keys’ shoes when she performed in Germany a couple of days ago, and thankfully today we found a similar one available and on sale.

There’s her fabulous mysterious pink-black heels.

DAVIS by Ruthie Davis Pixel Peep Toe Bootie.  Looks yum!

There’s nothing we love more than the word SALE.  It can come with a ‘pre-season’, ‘clearance’, ’summer’, ‘holidays’… any word at the front, as long as we SALE at the end of the phrase, we’ll be the first ones in line.  Our friends at Revolveclothing are holding a pre-holiday season sale and we thought you might wanna check it out.

And we found some cute and quirky stuff for ya to use this sale on.  You know, the kinds of stuff that you’d rather wait for it to go on sale because they’re just too quirky to buy on full price.  Here we go.

Vivienne Westwood Anglomania Belt Ring in Silver.

In God We Trust Sterling Silver Diamond Cutout Ring.  We love this ring as it says “Hey, a girl can have her dreams, right?”.  Cute and witty!

Tretorn Plask Toggle in Olive Night.  Who knew plastic boots can be fashionably cute?

Brixton Hooligan Hat in Brown Plaid.  Just to complete the whole look!

It’s been a long time since we talk about the ultimate animal print: Leopard.  And we won’t talk much anyway, because we found some really sassy leopard fashion items to warm your winter a little bit.  Remember girls, a touch of leopard says class while too much is trash. And here are our favorites!

Nanette Lepore Cheek To Cheek Velveteen Leopard Coat in Coffee Bean. Mini, double-breasted and screams: “Sexy Fierce!”

Sir Alistair Rai Leopard Parsi Stole, in Black / Silver.  Note the Swarovski detailing.  We just think they’re quite a razzle-dazzle.

Line Ava Leopard Wrap in Devon.  100% cashmere, unique cut and says Park Avenue more than anything, we just think this is one of the must-have this season.

Seriously!

We never get bored with boots, especially good-looking ones.  Funny how we always refer to them as ‘handsome’ while they really make our legs look slender, slim and pretty!  Well, we guess it’s no use to argue about terminology, it’s best just to enjoy the masterpiece.  Our today’s favorite is the ANOUK Oakley Boot in Desert.  Classic flat leather boots that’s comfortable, but way more fashionable than those uggs we once liked.
