Susan's Pick

"I love the versatility of this shell—I’ll wear it with boyfriend jeans and a cardigan on the weekends, and I’ll wear it with cropped black tuxedo pants and heels for a night time party."

Susan's Pick

"I love wearing almost-white in the winter—it’s such a nice alternative to black! These will look great with black opaque tights for the next three months, but they’ll look amazing with bare legs all summer long."

Susan's Pick

"Lately, I am obsessed with heavy metal—as in, jewelry that has a bit of rocker edge. Much as I love necklaces, this time of year I’m more covered up, so I’m always in the market for killer earrings. These are just about perfect."

Susan's Pick

"I used to wear blazers ALL the time, and then I took a break (and started wearing dresses). Now I’m back to blazers, and this yummy velvet one is a must. I’ll wear it casually—mostly with skinny jeans and flats—and I think the brown hue looks particularly rich."

"I loathe the cold and this cashmere hood will keep me extra toasty without risking flat hair. I love that you can roll it down so it doubles as a scarf."
