Colder weather isn’t something I look forward to after a lovely summer of sleeveless dresses and sandals, but I hold a special place in my heart for the cozy sweaters and scarves that come with the new season. Forever on the hunt for soft knits at budget-friendly prices, I tend to resist buying anything too quickly or else my closet will begin to resemble a furry monster. 

1340_6021_376This cardigan, however, is so doing it for me. Priced under $40 from American Eagle, it’s almost cashmere-soft and such a bright way to keep your outfits fresh for the chilly months ahead. Topped with a too-cold-for-fall sleeveless dress at work or jeans and a tee at the weekend, I’m stocking up for winter…just like a hibernating bear. Check it out at American Eagle stores nationwide or www.ae.com.

Steal supermodel style.

This week kicked off Fashion Week in New York, where thousands of influencers, celebrities, models and fashion fanatics flocked to see the upcoming trends for Spring 2010. With the East Coast running for cover against drizzle and gusty winds, there’s no better time to spruce up your nails with inspiration from Dashing Diva‘s leading nail tech, Pattie Yankee. Having collaborated on dozens of shows for this week’s events, she’s got the inside scoop on what’s hot for fall.

Check out Gwen with one of her models. This is one trend that’s definitely going to be mine before the spring season arrives.
