Big Yellow Taxi

Okay, seriously - are these not the cutest mittens you have ever seen?! The Kate Spade-esque design is perfect for urbanistas (and city girls at heart), and of course, ideal for hailing a cab on any impromptu trip to NYC. Who says we have to play fair? 

Pick up your Knit Taxi Mittens now (only $19.95 for the pair) at Le Château.

Gilt.com's Exclusive Canadian Sale is Now Live

I was lucky to be invited to an intimate breakfast at Soho House yesterday, hosted by Tracey Lomrantz Lester, editorial director of Gilt.com.  Tracey was in from NY to talk fashion and to tell us all about Gilt's first ever sale exclusive to its Canadian members. The sale, aptly named 'Canada's Most Coveted' just launched at noon today and is based  on the brands and categories that Canadians shop most, including (not surprisingly) a heavy rotation of fall boots, cozy sweaters and luxe outerwear. Gilt has also included some top Canadian designers in the mix like Mackage, Soia & Kyo and Pink Tartan, all being offered at steep discounts for this exclusive event. To access the sale, visit www.gilt.com/canada now. Sale ends in 1 day and 22 hours (and counting...)

Happy shopping and thanks Gilt for showing Canada some love!

Wrecking Ball

Sequined Drop-Waist Dress, $85, Smart Set

If you're like me, you probably don't normally plan your NYE outfit until the 11th hour (literally) but I just bought this glitter bomb dress and think you should, too. Whether we hit up a big party or cute husband and I just end up chilling with Carson Daly 'til the ball drops, I will absolutely be rocking this sparkler on the last day of 2013. 

LOVE the drop waist and the slightly sheer sleeves and you can't even see the best part: a perfect plunging back - sexy but still soignée.  Can't really think of a better way to ring in 2014, can you?

THE BEAUTY EDIT: The Prettiest Picks for Fall and Holiday 2013

Cara Delevingne for the Yves Saint Laurent Beauté Holiday 2013 Campaign.

It's not easy being pretty. Sure, we all know that true beauty comes from within but let's be honest - it's nice to have a glowing face, shiny hair and clump-free lashes as icing on the cake, don't you think? Luckily, all it takes to look 'naturally' beautiful is a little cleanser, concealer, BB cream, CC cream (??), toner, primer, foundation, blush, mascara, eye makeup remover and night cream. Oh, and don't forget the nails - from basecoats and topcoats, to ring finger nail art and perfect polish remover. Oh wait, then there's the hair - shampoos, conditioners, detanglers, hair oil, waxes, pomades, dryers, straighteners, curlers, stylers. Um, anyone else ready to tear their hair out yet?

To sift through all the confusion and to take the guesswork out of picking the right products, I headed to Sephora, the pantheon of beauty, the hallowed halls of all things pretty, and edited it down to my top beauty picks for you...
