Nontraditional and Sophisticated Holiday Party Clothes (That You Can Wear into 2013 and Beyond)
Unless you’re going totally cheesy with some ridiculous recycled Ugly Christmas sweaters, it’s hard to get holiday party clothing right.

I adore whimsical, almost-fairy-tale-like clothes; a skirt or a blouse that lets you look down during the day and imagine lunch in a wooded glen with a white rabbit rather than the bench on the street outside your office. Salty Philip was created in Berlin in 2009 by Scottish designer…
Ponchos, Capes and Wraps, Oh My! Autumn's Trend is a Perennial Fave
Ponchos, capes and wraps as shown above in T:The New York Times Style Magazine. There is just something so utterly wonderful and feminine (and ridiculously cozy-glam) about wearing a wrap, cape, capelet, shawl or poncho in lieu of a coat. Each of these pieces also gives you the opportunity to…
