With holiday travel on the horizon, let’s take a moment to talk about my favorite airplane accessory: the cape scarf.  Because keeping warm can also look chic.

It’s incredible how tastes can change.  15 years ago, I could never have imagined that I would once day love animal prints.   Leopard and cheetah were worn by flamboyant characters in mob movies.  Fast forward to today, half of my shoes are animal print.

Every time I open my Instagram stories, I see a blogger wearing cross-front fuzzy slippers.  They’re prettier than my beloved moccasins, but just as cozy.  Plus, they have a bit of a Valley of the Dolls slightly vintage vibe that I really enjoy.  I think I need a pair, but I’m not about to overpay for slippers.

It’s November, and ready or not, the holidays are nearly upon us.  Some parties will be filled with cocktail dresses, but most are more casual.  This Ann Taylor blouse has a light shimmer that makes it a lovely choice for low-key festivities.

Sometimes you just need a blouse that you can throw on with jeans.  Or a pencil skirt.  Or a pair of comfortable trousers.  The kind of piece that you can blend in with any outfit.  And it’s even better if that piece costs <$50.
