Time to get serious about colder weather, don’t you agree?

This season, go for impact.

Skip the small-scale stuff in favor of pieces that will make you look great when you’re in your coat and on the go. Don’t have a coat you love and that is immensely flattering? Resolve to look for one NOW. (Plaid is so great; I love it.)

Haven’t bought jeans for a year or two? Put this at the absolute TOP of your list.

Add a killer-fierce piece of jewelry (love the necklace here but this one is also swoon-worthy), noteworthy nails, and a seasonally appropriate darker lip and you are all set.
