It’s Cold Outside…Accessorize!

For one reason or another, NY Magazine always decides to take it upon themselves to come up with their 100+ picks for their favorite/trendiest sweaters, jeans, cocktail dresses etc. Well, their recent 130 picks for the best gloves, hats and scarves did anything but keep me warm. After filtering through several pages of hideous fascia slouch hats and typical plaid scarves, I found my top five accessory picks from the Shop-A-Matic list. Voila:

Plait Cheek Fedora by Alpinestars ($36)

Ah ha! I spot a straw hat (as seen in the Coco Chanel documentary!) ready for winter! So it might be a season early for a hat like this, but pair it with a cute layered black outfit and you’ll look stunning!

Leather-Trim Cable Knit Glove by Banana Republic ($39)

If you’re going for a more classy look, pair these gloves with a nice black sweater and a sleek black coat. They might be a bit preppy but the leather trim erases the “blah” from the typical cable-knit glove.

Spalding Avenue Scarf by Mike and Chris ($98)

I don’t know about you, but I’m loving the trend of breaking fashion rule #3 and actually wearing black and brown together. I recently bought a pair of black and brown leather boots and despite it’s masculinity, this scarf would look killer with them!

Teo Hat by Theory ($95)

They might be everywhere, but I love the saggy knit hats. Worn slouched off the back of your head, this hat is a nice alternative to the winter beanie hat. Make sure you pair it with a good outfit or else you’re going to blend in with the rest of the hipster population.

Felt Fedora with Grogorian Ribbon Trim by Hat Attack ($98)

Hands down my favorite. Who needs a traditional fedora when you can have one decked out in felt. Wear it inside. Wear it outside. Just wear it…it rocks.

Thanks Shop-A-Matic!

Knock, Knock…It’s Sweater Season!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and no, I’m not talking Christmas in New York just yet…I’m talking sweater season! It’s about time that those sweltering summer days took to the southern hemisphere and brought us some colder weather! You can probably tell that I’m impartial to fall/winter fashion, and a nice, warm sweater has got to be my favorite piece. It’s not quite cold enough for a coat, so show off your new sweaters! And remember, layering is all the go this season…don’t be afraid to wear multiple sweaters!

Shop-a-Matic just released their top 120 sweaters for the season…here are my fabulous five:

Wolfe by Oxford

Mitered Cardigan by Lutz & Patmos

Purple Zip Dolman Sleeve by Graham & Spencer

Andesite Cardi by Line

Saigon Slouch Sweater by Alpinestars

Thanks NY Mag!
