The linen is medium-weight, which provides enough structure to hold the shift silhouette but keeps it breathable enough for warmer weather. But 100% linen means that some amount of creasing is inevitable: I've come to appreciate it as part of linen's character/charm rather than a flaw, but the photos amplify them somewhat; still, this is a piece that needs a good steam before it leaves the house. My favorite detail is the scallop trim, which elevates it from being just an everyday basic. - [Review: Söfft Kelly Mary Jane Sneaker](https://www.elleblogs.com/sofft-kelly-mary-jane-sneaker-review/) - The Söfft Kelly is a comfort shoe dressed as a mary jane sneaker: true-to-size fit, genuine arch support, secure closure. The design trade-offs are real but so are the credentials. - [Review: Adidas Samba Jane Sneaker](https://www.elleblogs.com/adidas-samba-jane-review/) - A review of the adidas Samba Jane: grafting a mary jane strap onto one of adidas's most enduring silhouettes. At $100, the execution is uneven, but for the right feet, it's an easy shoe to reach for. - [Weekend Link Roundup](https://www.elleblogs.com/weekend-link-roundup-43/) - 1. Nordstrom's anniversary sale is nearing its end (prices go up 08/08/16). These Adidas Superstar Sneakers (shown above in White/Black; see on me here. On sale in two other colorways) that I have been wearing regularly are included in selected colorways.

Is it still worth buying? - [Egg-Cooker (a.k.a. J. Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Glen Plaid)](https://www.elleblogs.com/egg-cooker-aka-j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt/) - In my closet hang twenty or so items that I would describe as...clutter. Allow me to explain: These articles of clothing complement only one or two other items in my closet, rendering them particularly expendable. There's an analogy begging to be drawn between these items and single-purpose kitchen appliances. J. Crew Collection Icon Trench | - [J. Crew Bow-Shoulder Dress (+ Mid-Week Required Reading)](https://www.elleblogs.com/j-crew-bow-shoulder-dress-mid-week/) - After a (long, at times seemingly endless) winter of living in muted colors, which mirrored my somber mood, I've been making an effort to dress more colorfully this summer. I recently added this J. Crew chartreuse sheath dress to my closet and couldn't be more pleased with it. The color is a subdued green-yellow (in - [Review: FP Movement Wild And Free Fleece Pullover](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-fp-movement-wild-and-free-fleece-pullover/) - The FP Movement Wild and Free Fleece Pullover is cozy, generously cut, and packed with pockets.

At the time, I had newly fallen in love with a green Valentino lace dress and was almost desperate in satiating my craving for one. As with most purchases made without much forethought, this dress edged into - [Dog Graphic Crewneck](https://www.elleblogs.com/dog-graphic-crewneck/) - I recently cracked the code to inviting more encounters with cute dogs in the wild, short of adopting my own: wear them on my clothes. There’s something disarming about a dog printed on a sweatshirt: It reads friendly without trying too hard, turning a basic weekend outfit--jeans, sneakers, a crewneck--into an open invitation to say - [Samsonite Mobile Solution 2 Carry-On Review](https://www.elleblogs.com/samsonite-mobile-solution-2-carry-on-review/) - The Samsonite Mobile Solution 2 Carry-On Spinner delivers what I want from a carry-on: The spinner wheels roll smoothly, the soft-sided shell is durable but pliable, the dedicated laptop compartment has multiple padded sleeves, the expandable feature offers flexibility without encouraging overpacking. The interior layout is intuitive rather than over-designed, making packing feel efficient. - [Year in Review: A Comma, Not a Period + Outfits of 2025](https://www.elleblogs.com/2025-year-in-review/) - I stepped back from blogging this year because sharing outfits requires an emotional buoyancy I often struggled to find when the news cycle felt relentless. I didn't lose interest in clothing or fashion, but there is a sharp, specific discomfort and dissonance in feeling frivolous while the world roiled. ♥ ♥ ♥ I hope to - [Fruit Print Maxi Dress](https://www.elleblogs.com/fruit-print-maxi-dress/) - I picked up this Seven Wonders maxi dress on a whim—and on final sale—from Shopbop earlier this year. While the cut isn't ideal for my frame, it combines three of my current obsessions: a butter yellow color, fruit and tile prints, and a longer length that is both cooling and cool to wear. It’s become, - [UGG Classic Boot Colors Compared: Black, Chestnut, Sand & Caribou](https://www.elleblogs.com/ugg-colors-compared/) - 2025 UGG Classic Mini Boots Color & Fit Comparison: The Chestnut brown color is a touch more desaturated compared to the Chestnut color from as recently as 2023, but remains a warm and versatile neutral. Caribou is a cool taupe that feels muted but modern: this option will likely work best for those who wear a lot of gray and black. Sand is a pale, warm beige with cream undertones. This is the color I wear most as it pairs wonderfully with winter whites and light denim. While this year’s staple colors feel familiar, there’s a noticeable fit change between the current Ultra Mini and versions from the last few years. The older pair had a wider ankle opening, which allowed the boot to function like a true slip-on once broken in. The current version has a narrower opening and fits slightly smaller overall, which subtly but meaningfully changes the experience. The tighter ankle opening means the boot is no longer fully hands-free; most wearers will need to use the pull tab at the back, especially when wearing socks. - [On Sale at Anthropologie: UGG Classic Boots](https://www.elleblogs.com/on-sale-at-anthropologie-ugg-classic-boots/) - Anthropologie is currently running a storewide sale--take $50 off $150, $100 off $300, or $150 off $500--with very few brand exclusions. The discount also stacks on top of the extra 50% off sale, making this an especially good time to pick up UGG boots in classic colors. - [Review: UGG Ultra Mini Classic Boots](https://www.elleblogs.com/ugg-ultra-mini-classic-boots-review/) - The UGG Ultra Mini Boots have real shearling/leather uppers that are treated for water-repellence and stain-resistance, but the footbeds are lined in a material called UGGplush that's 80% wool and 20% lyocell³. The lining, which measures 17mm, is quite plush and warm. My favorite detail on the Ultra Mini (which you will also find on the Classic Mini but not on the taller styles) is the rear pull tabs, which facilitate the on/off process. The Ugg classic boot is easily identified by the tonal stitching on the exterior and UGG labels at the heel. They are generally well made and, based on my experience, last between five to eight seasons; I generally only retire them when the lining starts to thin from (overzealously) cleaning the insoles. - [Monterey Ditsy Powder Blue](https://www.elleblogs.com/monterey-ditsy-powder-blue/) - With temperatures dipping below freezing all week, I’ve been thinking back to warmer weather, and that nostalgia has taken a very specific form: long, flowy dresses. Over the past few years, midi and maxi dresses became some of the most versatile pieces in my warm-weather wardrobe, equally suited to casual weekends and the occasional wedding - [Review: Osprey Daylite Expandable Travel Pack 26+6](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-osprey-daylite-expandable-travel-pack-266/) - The Osprey Daylite Expandable 26+6 Travel Pack is one of the largest underseat backpacks that easily slides into a bag sizer, which makes it an attractive companion for flying on budget airlines. Unexpanded, the Osprey Daylite Expandable 26+6 Travel Pack measures 17" H x 13" W x 6" D, weighs 1.85 pounds empty, and meets all US airline personal item standards (when not filled to the brim). But it also prepares for when life happens--when I inevitably buy snacks at the airport or need somewhere to stow a fleece; the main compartment can expand by 2" in width to offer an extra six liters of capacity, a feature typically reserved for roller bags. - [Beneunder Jackets for In-Between Weather](https://www.elleblogs.com/beneunder-jackets-for-in-between-weather/) - -------------- Beneunder gifted me the jackets featured in today’s blog post; all opinions are my own -------------- The official start of fall finally broke the heat bubble that had settled over the Northeast this summer. The air smells crisper, and while the sun hasn’t dulled its edge, mornings now feel cool enough for a midweight - [Wide-Leg Ankle Jeans](https://www.elleblogs.com/wide-leg-ankle-jeans/) - Late last year, I parted with almost all of my old jeggings and skinny jeans, keeping only two pairs as an insurance policy. I used to love their stretch and ease, but now they just feel like relics from another era. For years I held on to them, imagining a moment when nostalgia or utility - [Effortless Summer Dressing: Alice + Olivia Floral Mini Dress](https://www.elleblogs.com/effortless-summer-dressing-alice-olivia-floral-mini-dress/) - One subreddit that I enjoy far more than I should is r/Weddingattireapproval--a virtual town square where ~143,000 strangers gather to debate the potential social fallout of wearing blush to a semi-formal beach wedding with "pastels encouraged" in the dress code. The central question--“Is this dress too white?”--is endlessly refracted through cryptic dress codes, uncertain lighting - [Review: Osprey Daylite Large Tote Pack](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-osprey-daylite-large-tote-pack/) - The Osprey Daylite Large Tote Pack is a backpack-tote hybrid that refuses to be put in a box. It has stowable (cushioned!) backpack straps, tote handles that fit easily over a winter coat, a trolley sleeve for attaching to a rolling luggage, a bottom compartment to separate shoes (or, more likely, takeout or leftovers), a generous 26-liter capacity, and front straps that could carry a yoga mat or a picnic blanket. It’s practical, adaptable, and versatile. Not perfect, but comes close (for me). - [Crossover Pants (+ Club Monaco Yolande Pant Review)](https://www.elleblogs.com/crossover-pants/) - The rebirth of wide-leg pants has been a blessing for me. While I have mostly outgrown my adolescent issues with having muscular legs, a straight leg pant will perhaps never be comfortable for me. In contrast, wide-leg pants, especially truncated ones, are more comfortable than pajamas to me. So I have been buying all of - [A Carrie Bradshaw Moment](https://www.elleblogs.com/a-carrie-bradshaw-moment/) - I revisited Sex and the City last summer--just the original six-season run and the first film; not the sequel, for obvious reasons--during a particularly quiet season for new television. Like many shows from the late-nineties and early-aughts, SATC is riddled with tonal misfires and cultural faux pas, which are often cringeworthy, and sometimes offensive.

Or... 22 at Last?](https://www.elleblogs.com/forever-21-no-more/) - I became acquainted with Forever 21 one summer in the early aughts when I was "living" on my own for the first time while doing a pre-college summer program. Its store in the Providence Place Mall was bright and welcoming, and I was immediately taken with it: there was an explosion of basics with plenty - [Quilted Padded Coat](https://www.elleblogs.com/quilted-padded-coat/) - Happy daylight saving time!

Note that sizes are limited for some styles. - [Button-Down Sweater Dress](https://www.elleblogs.com/amazon-the-drop-jaxon-button-down-sweater-dress-review/) - The button-down sweater dress is a transitional weather staple that I can't wait to re-style once temperatures rise. Button accents add sufficient visual interest to the basic sweater dress, and if you can find it in a ribbed material (providing stretch and creating a lengthening effect), that's even better. While I quite like the one that I am wearing here from The Drop--the price point is reasonable and the construction fair--the front buttons do not naturally lay-flat and instead want to crease and curl. Sizing up helps this problem, but doesn't entirely solve it. If you do order, definitely consider upsizing. - [Weekly Link Roundup](https://www.elleblogs.com/weekly-link-roundup-85/) - + Birkenstock’s Boston Clogs Have Become the New Ugg Slippers (Vogue): "The backless loafers ... have appeared in Lyst’s hottest product list for the fifth quarter in a row ... Birkenstock is struggling to satisfy demand, and customers are paying upwards of double for pairs on resale sites ... The allure of the affordable Boston - [Review: Lululemon Strongfeel Training Shoe](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-lululemon-strongfeel-training-shoe/) - The Strongfeel, with a streamlined silhouette defined by rounded contours and cutouts, is designed for strength training, it has a flat sole with low-profile cushioning and a higher back which stabilizes the heel and provides an anchored sensation. The upper is surprisingly lightweight but also hugs the feet securely, while the slightly curved outsole provides traction for plyometric exercises. - [Longline Denim](https://www.elleblogs.com/longline-denim/) - Remember all the sensationalistic headlines in 2021 declaring that Gen Zers had "cancelled" skinny jeans and were effectively waging a generational war against millennials? Well, I am glad I didn't donate or repurpose all of mine (mostly out of pandemic-related inertia), because I have worn skinny jeans a lot this winter. With their tapered hems, - [National Ice Cream Day](https://www.elleblogs.com/national-ice-cream-day/) - Happy National Ice Cream Day! Sadly, Ben & Jerry's won't be hosting a Free Cone Day this year, but here are some ice cream makers that will be offering discounts today: ♥ Baskin Robbins: Get $5 off any purchase over $15 from July 17 through July 23, 2022; you can also download the Baskin Robbins - [See by Chloe Sale Guide: When You'll "See" Your Faves Selling for Less!](https://www.elleblogs.com/see-by-chloe-sale-guide/) - Looking to snag some See by Chloe items on sale? Here's where to find styles by this premium designer at a discount. - [Weekly Link Roundup](https://www.elleblogs.com/weekly-link-roundup-march-2023/) - The farfalle has become Rachel Antonoff’s best-selling print, and the jacket — which retails for $425 — has sold out three times since it was introduced at the end of 2021 ... It’s not unheard-of for outerwear to develop a cult following ... But the pasta puffer seems more niche ... Rental companies have also played a role in the pasta puffer’s ubiquity. The coat has been rented more than 1,000 times through the clothing rental service Nuuly. On Rent the Runway, rentals of the coat grew by 10 percent from fall and winter of 2021 to the same period in 2022 — a rarity for any item of clothing ... But many pasta puffer enthusiasts also acknowledged the jacket’s downsides: It’s not very warm. It’s boxy. It’s expensive ... But with a coat like this, it’s not really about the fit. It’s about the joy. - [Amazon Essentials Sherpa-Lined Hoodies (+ Earmuffs as Ear Savers)](https://www.elleblogs.com/amazon-essentials-sherpa-lined-hoodie-earmuffs-as-ear-savers/) - If you are still masking indoors, as I sometimes do, and keeping that same mask on to protect your face against the cold when walking outside, I have been wrapping the straps of my mask around earmuffs to avoid behind-the-ear irritation. It also has the added benefit of keeping ears warm. - [Irish Cream](https://www.elleblogs.com/irish-cream/) - How I wore the LOFT Smocked Puff Sleeve Top in Irish Cream. The print is quite versatile and I can't wait to wear it again when warm weather returns. - [Weekly Link Roundup](https://www.elleblogs.com/weekly-link-roundup-84/) - + Does Wendy’s Really Make Better Fries Than McDonald’s? (The Takeout): "People can’t possibly prefer Wendy’s fries. They’re an afterthought, sitting far outside the realm of items you get excited about when placing a Wendy’s order. Meanwhile, McDonald’s fries are iconic: salty, crisp, golden, and delectably fatty. People go to McDonald’s specifically for the fries." - [Everyday Jewelry](https://www.elleblogs.com/aurate/) - I like AUrate's simple design philosophy: nothing is garish, which isn't to say that its designs are ordinary. The price points are also reasonable, considering that the pearls are natural (though cultured, not wild), the metals are 14- and 18-karat gold, and the diamonds are SI1-clarity. - [Weekly Link Roundup](https://www.elleblogs.com/weekly-link-roundup-february-2023/) - KFC's US offerings are limited and lacking in imagination, but I will stop in whenever they roll out new products, to show support for investment in new menu items. And while the KFC Wraps are fine (though they are very tortilla forward and light on fillings), they are the size of the old McDonald's $1 snack wraps but at 3x the price (or 2.5x if you buy two). If you prize satiety over novelty, just get the $4.99 KFC Chicken Sandwich. - [Current Favorites](https://www.elleblogs.com/current-favorites-winter-2023/) - What I am loving right now: circle necklaces, Amazon Essentials leggings, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Killing Eve, Bossen boba supplies, and Cover Story. - [Alice + Olivia Chase Puff Sleeve Sweater](https://www.elleblogs.com/alice-olivia-chase-cable-puff-sleeve-sweater-review/) - The end of winter in the Northeast is a fickle beast, but I am cautiously optimistic that we might go a whole winter without a real snow storm. With milder weather, some late-fall purchases have actually received (occasional) wear this winter, like the Alice + Olivia Chase Cable Puff Sleeve Sweater that I am wearing - [Sale Alert: Winter Sales](https://www.elleblogs.com/winter-sales/) - The three fashion retailers that I am shopping this week--Dillard's, Nordstrom, and Zappos--have discounted a similar assortment of products, which are thousands of cooler weather styles. So if your size is sold out on one site, check the other two outlets. - [Sale Alert: Ann Taylor Semi-Annual Sale](https://www.elleblogs.com/ann-taylor-semi-annual-sale-2/) - Until 02/09/2023, take up to an extra 60% off sale styles during Ann Taylor's Semi-Annual Sale; no code needed, discount taken in cart.

The frenzied crowd and general chaos make even the occasional deal regrettable. While there are some web alternatives, like Shop Premium Outlets, I tried a new platform last year that does a slightly better job of mimicking the IRL shopping experience: ShopShops, which is only available - [Bag Baby : J. Crew Edie Purse in Oasis Green & Sagebrush](https://www.elleblogs.com/bag-baby-j-crew-edie-purse-in-oasis/) - A review of the J.Crew Edie Bag - [Oversized Hooded Puffer Coat](https://www.elleblogs.com/oversized-hooded-puffer-coat/) - Temperatures are forecast to drop steeply as we head into February, and my plan to keep warm involves wearing oversized puffer coats with everything. I like how easily they fit over bulkier layers (and even the most exaggerated puff sleeves), but they can overwhelm a smaller frame, so I always try to incorporate prints, colors, - [Sweater Lady Jacket & Four-Season Wide-Leg Pant](https://www.elleblogs.com/sweater-lady-jacket-wide-leg-pant-outfit/) - The "warm" (for New England) streak in the northeast has continued into the second half of the month. I know climate change is a matter of grave importance, yet there is also relief in not having to brace for bitter Arctic air when leaving the house. I recently re-wore this outfit from fall, adding just - [Sale Alert: J.

As we have had an unseasonably warm start to the new year in the Northeast, all the crewneck sweaters, lighter-weight fleece jackets, and other mid-weight pieces in my closet are getting their moment in the sun, to make up for all the missed layering opportunity during the fall.

Below I highlight a few sales that I am shopping this week. ---------- Abercrombie & Fitch ---------- Abercrombie & Fitch Promotion: Take up to 50% - [Year in Review: Favorite Purchases of 2022](https://www.elleblogs.com/favorite-purchases-of-2022/) - I didn't have to dig deep to come up with this year's list, as I last wore just about everything (except the espadrilles and Reformation dresses) mentioned below earlier this month, a testament to their usefulness and longevity (in the favoritism sense). Here are 10 items that I couldn't stop wearing (and rewearing) this year. - [Rebecca Taylor Wind-Down Sale](https://www.elleblogs.com/rebecca-taylor-wind-down-sale/) - As a bona fide Rebecca Taylor fangirl who can't get enough of the brand's feminine knits and tweeds, I was saddened (if unsurprised) when news broke in September that Vince was winding down the brand. Vince Holding acquired Rebecca Taylor (along with Parker) in late 2019 from Sun Capital, which also owned 75% of Vince - [Short Puffer Jackets](https://www.elleblogs.com/short-puffer-jackets/) - As someone with legs that have a high threshold for the cold, the short puffer jacket was one of my favorite late-fall outerwear options to wear with wool A-line skirts. I also frequently wore these oversized puffer jackets with slimmer-cut jeans for a contrasting silhouette. They are so easy to dress up (or down!). Below - [2022 Holiday Gift Guide](https://www.elleblogs.com/2022-holiday-gift-guide/) - Can you believe Christmas is only five days away?! For those of you doing last-minute shopping, here are some widely-available things that I'm gifting this year.

While I already own several oversized canvas bags that are fit to carry groceries snacks and sodas - [J.

The design is classic with a feminine touch; I think the Varina is as classic a design for bow flats as they come. I also enjoy the myriad of colors that - [Review: Salvatore Ferragamo Vara Pumps](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-salvatore-ferragamo-vara-pumps/) - Since returning the beige Salvatore Ferragamo Vara pumps last year, I have been casually tracking the price of a few other colors in the same style. I took advantage of a Bloomingdales' sale last month and ordered three pairs to compare. Black was initially my first choice. However, after trying on both the nappa and patent - [Review: Reformation Rosi Dress](https://www.elleblogs.com/reformation-rosi-dress-review/) - If a paragon of "Sunday best" exists, I am sure it looks something like the Reformation Rosi Dress. Wear it to holiday brunch or to your own bridal shower, this dress is perfect for any daytime special occasion. DETAILS The Rosi has several charming features: the demure cap sleeves; the versatile sweetheart neckline; the flirty - [Review: Reformation Belgium Midi Dress](https://www.elleblogs.com/reformation-belgium-midi-dress-review/) - If you are a fan of dramatic, billowy sleeves, or love dresses that make a statement, Reformation's Belgium Midi Dress might be the dress for you. DETAILS At first glance, the Belgium Midi Dress appears prim, but look more closely, and you'll find some statement details that separate it from more classically cottagecore pieces. Because - [Weekly Link Roundup](https://www.elleblogs.com/weekly-link-roundup-december-02-2022/) - + Pantone’s Color of the Year Was Made for the Metaverse (The New York Times): "Pantone announced its 2023 color of the year: Viva Magenta ...

The shade was selected by human trend prognosticators who survey fashion and design, - [Off-Season Shopping: Sandals Deals](https://www.elleblogs.com/off-season-shopping-sandals-deals/) - While my online shopping carts are filled with boots of all kinds, practical shoppers might recognize the end of the year as a great time to sandals-shop, as retailers aggressively slash inventory of off-season styles but open-toed shoes season is a distant memory for many consumers. In this post I highlight a few warm-weather shoes - [Weekly Sale Update: Cyber Monday](https://www.elleblogs.com/cyber-monday-sale-2022/) - ----------------- Free People ----------------- Free People Promotion: Take an extra 40% off sale styles; no code needed, discount taken in cartOffer Expiration Date: 11/28/2022Terms: Free shipping and returns on all orders ---------- Abercrombie & Fitch ---------- Abercrombie & Fitch Promotion: Take 30% off everything, including sale styles.

In it is an exploration of female politicians and their bag choice. Though it pains me that the author of the piece called the use of a "purse boy" by women in politics a power/status symbol (why can't aides - [Review: Uniqlo HEATTECH Ultra Stretch Leggings Pant](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-uniqlo-heattech-ultra-stretch-leggings-pant/) - For once I am actually fulfilling requests in a timely manner! As requested (by a few people), here is a (more) thorough review of the Uniqlo HEATTECH Ultra Stretch Leggings Pant, which was a monthly favorite back in February and has been seen here and there. My pandemic work "uniform" of late fall comprises oversized - [Review: L.L.Bean Sherpa-Lined Hoodie](https://www.elleblogs.com/l-l-bean-sherpa-lined-hoodie-review/) - These photos were taken before the stay-home orders were issued One index term that makes my eyes light up is "fleece-lined" (or, better yet, shearling-lined... swoon). I can't tell you how many of my purchases are driven by or sealed with this detail; it's my second favorite keyword, just after "zippered pockets." In my closet - [Black Friday 2022 Sale Picks](https://www.elleblogs.com/black-friday-2022-sale-picks/) - I received a few messages from people who feel overwhelmed by all the Black Friday sales, so I've rounded up some items that I either bought during this sale or already own and would recommend at their current sale price.

This bomber-style jacket is incredibly cozy, but the plush sherpa is on the heavier-side, so it's more cumbersome than traditional fleece full-zip jackets. I also like that it doesn't have (m)any unnecessary details (the only conspicuous branding is the Alo logo on - [Reformation Wedding Guest Dresses](https://www.elleblogs.com/reformation-dress-review/) - A close friend decided to get married in an intimate ceremony this summer; without missing a beat, I went straight to Reformation and ordered the five dresses* that have been sitting in my cart. After a string of Zoom weddings, I am so excited to go to a wedding that I can't imagine not attending - [Review: Mackage Jada Maxi Length Down Coat](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-mackage-jada-maxi-length-down-coat/) - One especially brutal week in a Chicago winter some years ago colored my conception of Midwestern winters. On a rational level, I know that average temperatures in Chicago are not meaningfully lower than those in New England, but that knowledge does not mitigate my fear. When I got news in November that I'd have to - [Weekly Sale Update: Pre-Black Friday Weekend](https://www.elleblogs.com/pre-black-friday-weekend-sales/) - This post will be updated through Monday, 11/21/2022. My baby cousin is getting married next month and, for the first time in many years, I'll be exchanging gifts with extended family members in person. In preparation for this occasion, I have been doing a little more holiday shopping than usual. If you are also anticipating - [Review: Canada Goose Victoria Down Parka](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-canada-goose-victoria-down-parka/) - For those in need of a timeless parka for brutal winters, try Canada Goose's Victoria Parka, a perennial bestseller for the brand and a part of its permanent collection. Read on for a short review: FIT The Victoria Parka is among the slimmest fitting Canada Goose parkas (especially compared to styles with a traditional fit, - [Review: Canada Goose Trillium Parka](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-canada-goose-trillium-parka/) - Another winter storm, another winter coat review. Single-digit weather made impossible any outfit that doesn't include at least one bulky item, which isn't to say that you should resign yourself to looking like Michelin Man (but it's not like you are committing some kind of sartorial sin if you do; just do you). As promised, - [Icy Hell (+ Canada Goose Mystique Parka Review)](https://www.elleblogs.com/icy-hell-canada-goose-mystique-parka/) - We are barely halfway through what has been described as the coldest weekend in a generation in the Northeast, so clearly I am sharing this review of Canada Goose's Mystique Parka at least a week later than ideal. On days like today, when the low crosses into negative numbers, you should probably just stay home - [Little Black Midi Dress](https://www.elleblogs.com/reformation-mara-midi-dress/) - The transition to fall has been harshly abrupt this year: temperatures crashed 40 degrees seemingly overnight, which halted plans to fill my closet with Reformation dresses. The most recent (and possibly last for the year) addition to my collection is the timeless Mara Dress, which I have been wearing under fluffy faux fur jackets (find - [Coriander](https://www.elleblogs.com/coriander/) - Cooling weather need not spell the end of floral dresses. In fact, floral should be better recognized for their versatility and for the romance they bring to the season, as they can be one of the best (and easiest) fall transitional pieces: On cooler days, instantly autumnize your look by throwing a chunky sweater, an - [Lazuli Dot (+ Reformation Summer Sale)](https://www.elleblogs.com/reformation-summer-sale/) - Styles selected for Reformation's summer sale have been further discounted online, and are now up to 50% off. And some new styles have been added, including the Hugh Dress. While these same styles will be further discounted in roughly 7-10 days (until they are up to 70% off), by then items will only be available - [Review: Reformation Nadira Tie Strap Dress](https://www.elleblogs.com/reformation-nadira-tie-strap-dress-review/) - I added the Nadira Tie Strap Dress to my collection of Reformation dresses over the summer. Like many of the brand's best sellers, it's a recombination of design details that Reformation employs frequently: adjustable tie straps, a smocked back bodice, a sweetheart necklace with bustier seam details, and a midi-length (or full-length, if you are - [Fall Lilac (+ J.Crew Kate Straight-Leg Pant Review)](https://www.elleblogs.com/jcrew-kate-straight-leg-pant-review/) - When eating out with my family the other day, I marveled at how it was impossible to tell what season we were in just by looking at the diners' attire. In one room I found chunky-knit sweaters, short-sleeved polos, fleece vests, and a glittery cocktail dress. The sudden plunge into fall has given way to - [Review: Longchamp Weekender—Le Pliage Expandable Travel Duffel Bag](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-longchamp-weekenderle-pliage/) - I am a reformed overpacker. My natural inclination toward procrastination, coupled with general forgetfulness, also ensures that I always pack at the last minute, which inevitably leads to my forgetting something (always minor but inevitably causes anxiety). But if adulthood has taught me anything about travel, it's that nothing is indispensable aside from ID-money-phone-charger-glasses-jacket-and-comfortable shoes. - [5050 (Stuart Weitzman 5050 Over-the-Knee Stretch Boot Review)](https://www.elleblogs.com/5050-stuart-weitzman-5050-over-knee_12/) - One purchase from last winter that I failed to review before spring arrived was the ubiquitous Stuart Weitzman 5050 Over-the-Knee Boot. I had tried several similar (but cheaper) styles over the years, but none were equal in quality or fit. I finally decided to upgrade when the Matisse Buccaneer Tall Boots that I bought a - [Review: Burberry Medium Banner House Check Leather Tote in Light Grey Melange](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-burberry-medium-banner-house/) - The Burberry Banner House Check Tote is part of the brand's permanent collection, and an inoffensive take on the ubiquitous rectangular satchel. I think it first caught my eye around January of 2015, when the Spring/Summer 2015 collection was rolling out. It closely resembles the Prada Saffiano Tote, which inspired an army of copycats. QUALITY - [Review: Fendi Petite 2Jours Elite Leather Shopper](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-fendi-petite-2jours-elite/) - Few bags introduced in the last decade have had the staying power that the Fendi 2Jours (literally "2 days") leather shopper has enjoyed. I kept hoping that it would fade in popularity so I can buy the bag in my color-of-choice on sale, or that it would become so ubiquitous that I'd lose interest in - [Review: Salvatore Ferragamo Miss Vara Bow Clip Crossbody Bag](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-salvatore-ferragamo-miss-vara/) - For those looking for something designer and dainty, but slightly larger than wallets on chains, the Miss Vara Bow Crossbody Bag ($750) from Salvatore Ferragamo is a fine choice. It is a low-key bag that doesn't have many bells and whistles, with SF's signature grosgrain bow with logo hardware as its only trimming. At about - [Review: Acne Studios Canada Fringed Wool Scarf (+ Inexpensive Alternatives)](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-acne-studios-canada-fringed-wool/) - After a fruitless search for an affordable medium-brown oversized scarf in natural-fiber, I capitulated and ordered the Acne Studios Canada scarf in caramel brown, my original choice that I initially deemed too expensive. The size—78.75" long x 27.5" wide—is versatile and can be worn in dozens of ways (though my default is the classic loop). - [Review: Black Halo Classic Jackie O Sheath Dress](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-black-halo-classic-jackie-o-dress/) - My favorite work dress (with no exceptions) is the Black Halo Jackie O Dress in Stretch Gabardine. I almost always pack it for work trips because of its versatility; it's dressy enough for after hours socializing but also demure enough for day. The Jackie O is Black Halo's most "classic" dress and is released every - [Review: Prada Saffiano Medium Double Zip Top-Handle Bag ( BN2274)](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-prada-saffiano-medium-double-zip/) - The allure of Prada totes has dampened in recent years, as the original flooded the luxury market (where scarcity fuels demand) and similar styles at lower price points captured the rest of the segment. It's unsurprising that Prada's 2014 profits suffered a 28% drop from the previous year and sales of leather goods stagnated. I - [Bow Front Sweater Dress (& A+O Sale)](https://www.elleblogs.com/bow-front-sweater-dress/) - A newish addition to my collection of trophy pieces is Alice + Olivia's Kitty Bow Front Sweater Dress. It is the best kind of trend salad, with puff sleeves, contrasting bow details, a circle-y skirt, and a million mini bobbles on a classic knit pattern; whether or not these elements work together is in the - [Review: The North Face ThermoBall Traction Mule (Women vs Big Kids)](https://www.elleblogs.com/the-north-face-thermoball-traction-mule-review/) - The cloud shoe (a.k.a. pillow shoe a.k.a. puffer shoe) has been brewing as a microtrend since 2020, and I had judged it as not particularly functional or pretty at first. But I had a change of heart earlier this winter--on day three or four of a sustained cold spell--and ordered these ThermoBall Slippers from The - [Woolly](https://www.elleblogs.com/woolly-review/) - **This post contains affiliate links and gifted pieces; I may earn an affiliate commission if you make a purchase through my links** The public green space I discovered in the early months of the pandemic grew so popular with other people also shunning indoor activities that I stopped visiting once it became difficult to find - [Review: Marc Fisher Alva Boot](https://www.elleblogs.com/marc-fisher-alva-boot-review/) - The ankle boot (and its sibling, the mid-calf boot) with a block heel is my favorite footwear this fall. They make bare legs look a little less... exposed, and the block heel extends the legline without adding discomfort. One mid-range option I would recommend is the Marc Fisher Alva Boot, which retails for a little - [Sam Edelman Laguna Chelsea Boot Review](https://www.elleblogs.com/sam-edelman-laguna-boot-review/) - I resumed my search for practical lug sole boots earlier this season, and decided on a perennial bestseller: Sam Edelman's Laguna Chelsea Boot. This versatile boot, which retails for $170 but can be found for 15%-25% off in popular colorways during sale season, is available in a number of neutral colorways and two widths (M - [Weekly Link Roundup](https://www.elleblogs.com/jcrew-teddy-sherpa-jacket/) - + J.Crew is one of the retailers who have debuted their Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales early.

Or, if you don't post pictures online, a description will suffice. - [Year in Review: Goodbye, 2014 + Outfits of 2014 Part II](https://www.elleblogs.com/year-in-review-goodbye-2014-outfits-of/) - I did away with resolutions some years ago when I admitted that I am far too irresolute to commit to arbitrary shopping and health goals and don't have many atrocious vices aside from fast food and fast fashion.

Crew Cable-Knit Half-Zip Sweater](https://www.elleblogs.com/j-crew-cable-knit-half-zip-sweater/) - The half-zip sweater is one of my favorite knit trends this season.

The result is - [Current Favorites](https://www.elleblogs.com/current-favorites-january-2022/) - **This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links** Today is apparently the coldest day in 3ish years, so I don't plan on going outside, but for FOMO reasons I will be wearing my full-length parka and using Bluetooth earmuffs like regular headphones.

I couldn't tell you. But I am still wearing them. And as the weather cools, I am trading in hip-length shackets for longer ones, which I feel are a little more versatile than their shorter counterparts. They pair easily with a leather pant or a pair of denim, but will also - [Sale Alert: J.

The sweater dress is simply effortless. - [Lace Cuffs](https://www.elleblogs.com/lace-sleeves/) - One practical layering essential that doesn't get enough credit is the lace layering top; I really enjoy the visual interest they lend to an outfit.

It pairs well with denim bottoms, and also looks great with - [ASTRONOMICAL FALL](https://www.elleblogs.com/astronomical-fall/) - Happy first "official" day of fall! Because apple-picking season is upon us, and you may soon have a surplus of apples that you don't know what to do with, I want to share a video from NYT Cooking's YouTube channel titled "10 Ways to Apple Pie With Erin Jeanne McDowell." It's a glorious video that - [Slip Skirt](https://www.elleblogs.com/amazon-drop-maya-slip-skirt-review/) - The heat broke this week, as we near the first day of fall.

Crew Smocked-Waist Pleated Dress](https://www.elleblogs.com/j-crew-smocked-waist-pleated-dress-review/) - I have mixed feelings about the resurgence of smocking details in clothing. I mean, for a (long) time in the early aughts, I was all about Juicy Couture terry cloth dresses with smocked bodices, so the nostalgia factor is there for me. But smocking can also really cheapen an article of clothing, so there's no - [Cozy Casual](https://www.elleblogs.com/cozy-casual/) - These photos were taken before the stay-home orders were issued That 2020 is proving a very weird and chaotic year is not a controversial opinion, but the speed at which we are hurtling through the year surprises me every time I look at the calendar: Can you believe we are somehow almost half way through - [Swing Coat](https://www.elleblogs.com/burberry-swing-coat/) - These photos were taken before the stay-home orders were issued One of my favorite outerwear purchases from the last year, the Burberry 3 - 12 Cotton-gabardine Trench Coat, is currently 40% off at Net-a-Porter (which is running its summer sale).

They went from something seen as fairly humble and utilitarian to suddenly being as aspirational as a designer handbag. For me, statement sweaters are a silver-bullet solution for (soul-crushingly) one-note cold-weather outfits. With a statement sweater, you can easily elevate even the most - [Striped Sweater](https://www.elleblogs.com/striped-sweater/) - These photos were taken before the stay-home orders were issued As I now spend my days just putzing around my apartment, I have been wearing mostly oversized tops (like the striped sweater pictured in this post), which I have been trying to pass off as house dresses.

But the question misses the point. The open-front coat exists "Because Fashion! Because the - [Cropped Cardigan & Wide-Leg Pants](https://www.elleblogs.com/cropped-cardigan/) - Recent updates to the homely cardigan are a welcomed upgrade: I thoroughly enjoy the fitted, cropped silhouette. It's kind of a perfect transitional piece, no? On warmer days, pair it with a lighter bottom (like the wide-leg crop pants shown in this post); or wear it under chunkier knits on colder days. It's as effortless - [Sherpa Jacket](https://www.elleblogs.com/sherpa-jacket/) - I got "dressed up" to take these photos in the yard last fall, because indoor lighting was unjustly harsh to this sherpa jacket with faux leather trim, a style from several seasons ago that is still sold at Amazon in three colorways and a range of sizes (XS-L).

At $88.00, the Palermo Blazer is reasonably-priced; if possible, coincide your purchase with a Shopbop store-wide event.

Sure, it's a timeless style that gets recycled every year, but I am seeing it everywhere this spring. I am not complaining, though, as the current crop features slightly longer hemlines and a more streamlined shape, making them appealing to all age groups.

I remember thinking to myself: self, relish this moment, because winter is coming. While December in the Northeast hasn't been especially brutal--it has - [Weekly Link Roundup](https://www.elleblogs.com/weekly-link-roundup-26/) - ♥ Nothing Is More American Than Chinese Food on Christmas (The New York Times): "Chinese food on Christmas has become ... an acceptable alternative for anyone looking outside the usual holiday celebrations ...

I ordered the Oversized Lapel Wool Gabardine Trench - [Happy Colors](https://www.elleblogs.com/happy-colors/) - The luxury goods sector is projected to grow modestly in 2017, but growth has proven uneven across the industry. Kering, or more specifically Gucci, is enjoying record profit, while sales growth continues to elude others. But no group feels a tighter squeeze than "affordable luxury": Michael Kors, Coach, Ralph Lauren, and their ilk. This group - [Striped Sweater + Winter Parka](https://www.elleblogs.com/helly-hansen-svalbard-parka/) - If November is "the Norway of the year," then December is Alaska. (And January Antarctica.) Getting dressed ceases to be fun and instead becomes a logistical nightmare wherein I try to imagine an outfit for the day's highs (20) and lows (14), realize I can't (because going outside when it's below freezing is cruel), and - [Review: J. Crew Harper Satchel in Italian Leather](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-j-crew-harper-satchel-in-italian-leather/) - The Harper Satchel, which comes in two sizes and a rainbow of autumn colors (in the mini), is part of J. Crew's fall "relaunch." Marketed as a "have-forever" bag, it's inoffensive and universal enough to be considered for addition to any wardrobe. As a bona fide J.Crew fangirl, I wasted no time ordering the bag - [Weekly Shopping Update: Holiday Party Edition](https://www.elleblogs.com/holiday-party-dress/) - No one outfit will meet everyone's definition of "festive dressy," so here are dozens of options for those who are still shopping for party dresses.

And while I would normally avoid forecasting a venture's future this early on, I am already 75% confident that Infinite Style will undergo this life cycle: continue to garner little attention, with subscription numbers that peter out, and eventually fold quietly. I thought about - [Oversized Checked Topcoat (+ Mickey, WTF?!)](https://www.elleblogs.com/oversized-checked-topcoat-mickey-wtf/) - I wrote several sincere but ultimately meaningless paragraphs about my new coat, then decided my need to rant about J.

When Breath Becomes Air is short enough to read in one-sitting, but powerful enough to linger for days/months/years. It's - [[Dressed Up] Sweatshirt](https://www.elleblogs.com/dressed-up-sweatshirt/) - Do you have a favorite college sweatshirt that you are struggling to elevate? (Not that everything in your closet must see the light of day.) My favorite way to wear these comfort pieces in cold weather is to top them with a patterned jacket to add visual interest.

I hope to resume posting outfits and other content next week. I've also updated the Bloomingdale's Deal Reveal post with more codes, - [An Ode to the Caterpillar Coat](https://www.elleblogs.com/caterpillar-coat/) - A staff writer for The New Republic puzzled at length over full-length down coats in a piece titled "Against the Caterpillar Coat." She called these coats "totally unnecessary" and think they "make their wearers look bound at the knees, like they couldn’t take a large step over a puddle of snowmelt if called upon." She - [BHLDN : If I Were A Rich (Wo)Man](https://www.elleblogs.com/bhldn-if-i-were-rich-woman/) - I have held off on writing this post for weeks now, but I really can't resist all the pretties.

My go-to is styling them with a cozy faux fur jacket--the BLANKNYC Cropped Faux Fur Jacket that I am wearing here is reasonably - [Navy Peacoat and Gold Pants (+ J. Crew Majesty Peacoat Review)](https://www.elleblogs.com/navy-peacoat-and-gold-pants-j-crew/) - Latent color cues can be really powerful. I recently started wearing blue and gold with increased frequency without prompt but upon further reflection think my brother's college fan gear is to blame. Or maybe I am just highly suggestible. I've been known to wear some combination of red, white, and blue for the duration of - [Weekly Link Roundup](https://www.elleblogs.com/weekly-link-roundup-24/) - ♥ KFC added chicken and waffles to its menu last month, and I would be remiss if I didn't try it--seeing as this addition was effectively tailored to me.

While it doesn't take me long to get ready, I budget just enough time to shower and get dressed, and can be thrown off my schedule by the smallest hiccup. One frustration to which I am - [How to Avoid Deodorant Marks](https://www.elleblogs.com/how-to-avoid-deodorant-marks/) - Thank you Dove for sponsoring this post. Dove Invisible Dry Spray Antiperspirant goes on invisible, leaving no white marks on 100 colors of clothing.

Crew Daphne Topcoat in Italian Tweed](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-j-crew-daphne-topcoat-in-italian-tweed/) - After months of dither, during which my size sold out, I was forced to pass on the J. Crew Daphne Topcoat in Italian Tweed last winter, a decision I sorely regretted. So imagine my delight when I found it in this fall's lineup. A statement coat, while not as "classic" as an olive green down coat - [Red Wool Trench](https://www.elleblogs.com/red-wool-trench/) - Around this time every year is when I would start to complain incessantly about the cold, and vow to move somewhere subtropical. So I found it alarming that (so far) I've felt no urge to complain or plot my move. For the first time in a while, I really (really!) love late fall, frosted windshield - [Review: BLANKNYC Moto Jackets](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-blanknyc-moto-jackets/) - I received a few questions about the BLANKNYC Morning Suede Moto Jacket that has appeared a few times on this blog in the last month, and thought I'd share my thoughts on this jacket and a few similar options.

Crew Easy Pant in Lace](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-j-crew-easy-pant-in-lace/) - A closet favorite, the J. Crew Easy Pant in Lace, has returned in four colorways this fall. It was a marquee piece in my bleisure wardrobe so I wanted to quickly review the item now that it's on sale (sale details below). What my outfits lack in bright colors, I try to make up in texture - [Holiday Sweater Dress](https://www.elleblogs.com/holiday-sweater-dress/) - Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing several holiday looks centered on "wearable" everyday pieces, as holiday dressing doesn't necessarily entail glitter (okay, in this post, it does). Loosely speaking, holiday dressing can be distinguished in two ways: with color (red, green, gold); or with texture (velvet, sequins, brocade). If you incorporate just - [Review: J. Crew Perfect Winter Parka](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-j-crew-perfect-winter-parka/) - Things didn't take long to hit bottom after the season's first snow. This week, temperatures fell into the teens, bringing with it general misery. I gave serious thought to wearing snow pants to the office, but by the end of the morning's first hot chocolate, I was able to talk myself down to just wearing - [Weekly Shopping Update: Black Friday/Cyber Monday](https://www.elleblogs.com/weekly-shopping-update-black-friday-2/) - This post will be updated periodically through next Monday. ----------------------------- J.

While the paper-bag pants featured here aren't technically in a classic houndstooth, I really like the fall color palette and the wide-pantleg. The material--84% polyester, 14% viscose, and 2% - [Floral Jumpsuit](https://www.elleblogs.com/floral-jumpsuit/) - Amid tepid performances in every retail segment, Urban Outfitters managed to grow its 4Q sales by 5.7%, helped most by an 8% increase in comparable sales at Free People.

While temperatures have actually rebounded from the month's lows, the disappearance of fall foliage is a bitter reminder that winter is near. And when it's cold, I dress to compensate for - [Cold-Weather Essentials](https://www.elleblogs.com/cold-weather-essentials/) - Serious winter gear is unsexy: it's a corner of fashion that does not allow for much personal expression and is ruled by practicality. It's the stuff that is often unseen in an outfit post, but if you live in places with cold winters, they are the most crucial. ----------------------------- UGG SHEEPSKIN GLOVES ----------------------------- I hoard - [Bubble Sleeves](https://www.elleblogs.com/bubble-sleeves/) - Statement sleeves are really fun, but they are not always practical. To get my feet wet in this trend, I first dabbled in bell sleeves, which did not mesh well with my pizza-eating, condiment-loving lifestyle. I then gave exaggerated cuffs a whirl, but those proved equally problematic. What finally sold me on statement sleeves are - [Give to Famine Relief](https://www.elleblogs.com/give-to-famine-relief/) - Acceptance Speech for the Renomination for the Presidency, Philadelphia, Pa. June 27, 1936 In place of the weekly shopping update, I want to encourage you to donate to the following causes.

Swap a standard-issue crewneck sweater for a tunic worn casually-tucked, and your skirt suit will instantly look 8x cooler; or throw it over some slinky wide-leg pants to join the menocore fun. My favorite way to wear a tunic is to wear it as a dress: all - [Weekend Link Roundup](https://www.elleblogs.com/weekend-link-roundup-16/) - ♥ The BP. Reversible Houndstooth & Grid Scarf pictured above is currently 45% off online (now just $14.90); I own it in both colorways (see the green multi on me here), and it is rather warm and very versatile because of the two sides. Some other picks for Nordstrom's fall sale: Hunter Original Tall Rain Boot (reviewed here), - [Review: Hunter Original Tall Rain Boot](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-hunter-original-tall-rain-boots/) - A pair of tall rain boots is essential for surviving New England winters (a slight exaggeration, but not untrue). On the days following heavy snowfall, when the ground is a minefield of slush puddles that render UGG boots useless--those days are what rain boots are made for. Sure, before you can put your feet inside - [Weekly Shopping Update: Uniqlo Fall Sale + Clear the Rack](https://www.elleblogs.com/weekly-shopping-update-uniqlo-fall-sale-clear-the-rack/) - Hundreds of styles have been further marked down at Uniqlo, including the remaining styles from the Inès de La Fressange x Uniqlo collection.

Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Double-Serge Wool](https://www.elleblogs.com/j-crew-petite-no-2-pencil-skirt-in/) - I feel less guilty when I splurge on "work" clothes so that splinter accounts for a huge chunk of my clothing bill every month. My latest splurge are these neon colored pencil skirts from J. Crew.

This offer can be - [Fall Pairing: Sweater Dress + Tall Boots](https://www.elleblogs.com/fall-pairing-sweater-dress-tall-boots/) - In cooler weather, battle-scarred veterans of harsh winters know to dress in cozy, peelable layers (with some exceptions); the irritation of freezing one minute then overheating the next is all too familiar to those who work outside the home. While current temperatures (low-40s to high-50s) do not necessitate puffer jackets or Uniqlo Heattech, this temperature swing - [Weekly Link Roundup](https://www.elleblogs.com/weekly-link-roundup-22/) - ♥ The "Perfect Winter Parka" I reviewed last year is now 40% off online in five colors with code BOO.

The solution? Add a light neutral. My go-to neutral is light brown, a natural complement to dark colors and one-note color schemes. When I am dressed in all-white or all-black, a textured light brown - [Hong Kong Food Diary](https://www.elleblogs.com/hong-kong-food-diary/) - As blog content has once again grown kind of light--with pending blog posts in various (early) stages of completion--I thought I'd share some photos from a recent trip to Hong Kong, a city I visited frequently as a kid, but haven't returned to in several years. As I wasn't diligent about photographing every meal, I've - [Year In Review: Favorite Purchases of 2017](https://www.elleblogs.com/year-in-review-favorite-purchases-of/) - 2017 has been a weird shopping year for me, which is why I struggled to shortlist candidates for this post. While I made quite a few purchases that have proven practical and necessary, my big-ticket purchases have not panned out as well as I had hoped (I am looking at you, Gucci GG Marmont Top - [Black Tulle](https://www.elleblogs.com/black-tulle/) - Someone who stumbled upon this blog by way of this WIFW post on midi tulle skirts wrote to ask if I could share some ideas for how to style a black tulle skirt, and I was happy to oblige, even though I've reined in my tulle habit in recent years, having graduated into an age - [Cap Sleeves (+ J. Crew Resumé Dress Review)](https://www.elleblogs.com/cap-sleeves-j-crew-resume-dress-review/) - In recent years I've stopped purchasing suits and separates for work, and instead have been focused on amassing racks of sheath dresses. Beyond removing variables from the getting-ready-in-a-time-crunch equation, I also no longer have to concern myself with how neatly my shirt is tucked into my skirt. I am especially fond of dresses with cap - [Rider (+ J. Crew Rider Bag Review)](https://www.elleblogs.com/rider-j-crew-rider-bag-review/) - From flared trousers to clunky platforms, 70s trends are having a moment. Saddlebags, one of the era's key accessories, can now be found as easily at big box stores as on runways. I almost purchased the Chloé Small Marcie Leather Crossbody Bag last year (and test-drove one from a friend's collection for a few weeks - [Work Dresses Review: Felicity & Coco + Vince Camuto + Tahari](https://www.elleblogs.com/work-dresses-review-felicity-coco-vince/) - Left: Vince Camuto Crepe A-Line Dress || J.

For me, a day to night dress is something that I could wear to work, and then continue - [Review: MICHAEL Michael Kors Studio Mercer Large Convertible Tote](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-michael-michael-kors-studio/) - Whenever I feel the urge to buy a new designer bag, I usually start by browsing Michael Kors for similar options. Like its direct competitors Kate Spade and Coach, Michael Kors is fairly nimble at creatively replicating a new "it" bag as it emerges on the scene. And as the quality of Michael Kors handbags - [Review: Boden Sophia Shirt Dress](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-boden-sophia-shirt-dress/) - The Boden Sophia Shirt Dress had been one of my favorite work pieces over the summer, and it recently went on sale so I thought a more detailed review is now in order.

Crew Academy Leather Loafers in Bittersweet - [Review: J.Crew Academy Loafers in Leather (Now On Sale)](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-jcrew-academy-loafers-in-leather/) - I often lament to anyone who will listen that J. Crew should be focused on developing its line of seasonless staples, instead of expending most of its energy on overly trendy styles like this multicolored "bib" necklace. J. Crew's fall collection is mostly devoid of frills that likely won't stand the test of time, but - [Review: J.

But, as I normally advise those who email me looking for recommendations, there's a reason dress rental services like Rent the Runway exist (and thrive!): few people want to be photographed in the same dress twice. However, there is value in having - [Bows (+ Burberry Brit Bowpark Raincoat Review)](https://www.elleblogs.com/bows-burberry-brit-bowpark-raincoat/) - It rains infrequently in Connecticut, where I live. Even in especially wet springs, the average monthly rainfall doesn't exceed five inches. This amount of rain (or lack thereof) made it difficult to justify spending several hundred dollars on a designer raincoat, but I couldn't be dissuaded. For those who live in rainier places and value - [Review: Burberry Sandringham Fit Cashmere Trench Coat](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-burberry-sandringham-fit/) - Christopher Bailey, head honcho of Burberry, announced early last month that the brand is moving to consolidate Burberry Prorsum, Burberry London, and Burberry Brit into one unified brand—Burberry—by the end of 2016. This announcement bears only the surprise of timing; it is part of a growing movement to prune—through consolidation, elimination, or reintegration—diffusion brands: Marc - [Review: Burberry London Kensington Fit Wool Cashmere Trench Coat in Camel](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-burberry-london-kensington-fit/) - Despite having every intention of keeping this Burberry coat, in the end I didn't think it met enough of my criteria to earn a place in my overstuffed closet (I also admit that I subject luxury items to a higher level of scrutiny).

My second stop was Burberry, of whom I am a big fan. Were it not for Burberry's steep retail prices, I would own more of it in my closet.

For the brave, winter mornings are a time to show their mettle but for me, the first step--getting dressed--is the most difficult. Little things like - [Review: J. Crew Chateau Parka in Stadium-Cloth](https://www.elleblogs.com/review-j-crew-chateau-parka-in-stadium/) - It's outerwear review season again! First up is the J. Crew Chateau Parka, which sold like hotcakes last year and has been brought back in eleven (!!!) colors this year.

There's a lot to like about the - [Wrap-Tie Jumpsuit](https://www.elleblogs.com/wrap-tie-jumpsuit/) - There were a few weeks in late summer during which multiple work projects simultaneously kicked into high gear for me, and when one day blurred into another in my tired mind.

It usually follows a cold and rainy spell; then overnight, the clouds disperse and the cherry blossoms bloom. And the world looks like it's been staged for a Wes Anderson film.

Crew's Tie-Neck Dress in Italian Wool was one of my favorite purchases last fall, and while I was happy to see the design brought back earlier this year in a "365 crepe" in three colorways, I was disappointed by the polyester blend, which cheapens an otherwise classic design. I kept this dress because I missed - [Cape (J. Crew Toggle Cape in Wool-Cashmere Review)](https://www.elleblogs.com/cape-j-crew-toggle-cape-in-wool/) - I've started every fall in recent memory with a frantic cape search (one that normally comes up empty), but got lucky this season with the purchase of J.

My blog was born out of that desperation: it was - [The Fall Standard (+ Unpeelable Layers)](https://www.elleblogs.com/the-fall-standard-unpeelable-layers/) - This fall I've traded silk for knits and tulle for denim.

My natural inclination toward procrastination, coupled with general forgetfulness, also ensures that I always pack at the last minute, which inevitably leads to my forgetting something (always minor but inevitably causes anxiety).

It is a whole outfit and the best kind of trend salad, with puff sleeves, contrasting bow details, a circle-y skirt, and countless mini bobbles on a classic knit pattern; whether or not these elements work together - [Canada Goose Trillium Parka Review](https://www.elleblogs.com/canada-goose-trillium-parka-review/) - Another winter storm, another winter coat review. Single-digit weather made impossible any outfit that doesn't include at least one bulky item, which isn't to say that you should resign yourself to looking like Michelin Man (but it's not like you are committing some kind of sartorial sin if you do; just do you). As promised, - [Stuart Weitzman 5050 Boot Review](https://www.elleblogs.com/stuart-weitzman-5050-boot-review/) - One purchase from last winter that I failed to review before spring arrived was the ubiquitous Stuart Weitzman 5050 Over-the-Knee Boot.
