THE SWEETEST JEWELS

Such unique pieces and yet such cheap prices! This online boutique is very new and so chic the items tend to go fast. Many pieces so are limited in quantities that one piece may be the only one in stock. At least this guarantees individuality when decorating your latest ensemble. Check them out www.TheSweetestJewels.com

DEREK LAM

Stunning! The shapes and patterns of Derek Lam for fall 2011 are some of my favorites for the season.  Bold shapes paired with daring patterns look flattering and warm. Coats, pants, and long dresses were all part of the line. My favorite is this flowing dress in the middle. We will continue to see maxi dresses/skirts into this cold weather season.

THE WEDGE

The essential wedge has taken on new looks! For fall/winter ankle booties are a must have. These awesome wedges by Jessica Buurman stand out with a metal plated zig-zag "heel" built in. So cute in black you can rock any outfit.

NEW BALENCIAGA SHADES

I have high hopes for this winter to be a lot brighter than the last. Go for everything in color out of the ordinary, including shades. I say choose fun colors for this winter, but if you must get black, go for a black with embellishments. I love these Balenciaga frames.

This dress in INSANE! The design is impeccable! And, did you recognize the model? It's Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel. She looks fab! Loving the jewel tones for this season.

RUTHIE DAVIS

Shoes and handbags by Ruthie Davis are just so unique. I love that these shoes are so far from the norm. I like to take a walk on the wild side and these are the shoes to get you there. You can even find a Ruthie Davis handbag to match perfectly. Her collection has been featured in magazines, on runways, and on the feet of the most photographed celebrities.

TREND ALERT: CHOKERS

The choker necklace is back, but definitely different from the strips of cloth that made a huge buzz in the 90's. Now we see the trend of bold, heavy pieces. Dress up the collar with a short set of sophisticated pearls or a leather and metal bib like the one above from Vince Camuto. You're sure to make a statement with a bold choker no matter what outfit you may have on for the day.
