FALL ACCESSORY EDIT: Ear Crawlers

I never jumped on the ear cuff bandwagon. I don't know - I was all over the punkness on Cara Delevingne and co. but they always just felt super awkward on me. The new ear crawlers literally crawl up your lobe, making a more subtle, more refined statement than last season's cuff.

I am LOV-ing the sleek gold versions from Smith + Mara and Elizabeth and James on Shopbop right now. Edgy but not way out there, I'll wear them everywhere this fall. Cool, right?

Here are a few of my favs from Shopbop right now:

When Friday hits, it's tempting to just throw on your jammies and be done with it. I mean, seriously, after the torture of control-top tights and the pressure of being buttoned-up all week, it's no wonder we need a little breathing room.

Luckily, off-duty dressing doesn't have to be sloppy. Step away from your saggy-bottomed joggers, ladies - these 10 on trend pieces will help you keep your cool (without sacrificing an ounce of comfort) all weekend long...

They say that good things come in threes and when it comes to colour, I completely agree. Monochromatic looks are super cool but require a deft hand at loading up on texture to pull it off. Two-tone outfits look safe but can feel incomplete. But add that magical third shade and suddenly, you have fashion magic. 

For Fall '14, the most stylish on the streets of New York, Paris and Milan showed us how to do colour right. And, it turns out that the most stunning looks were often super simple colour combos that packed a real punch. This fall, try pairing 2 neutrals with one bright pop - it's as easy as that. If you're not big on brights, try letting your third element be a metallic - either a shiny silver or a bold gold. We've shown red, green and navy looks here, but purple, yellow, orange, bright pink and cobalt blue will shake up your fall and winter wardrobe, too. 

Why let your summer wardrobe have all the fun? Let these three perfect fall combos inspire you the next time you're faced with a what-to-wear moment...

Why spend the season with chattering teeth and freezing feet? Designers have given us loads of tempting reasons to cozy up this fall, from the trend that lets you wear your blanket out, to the warm boot socks you'll never want to take off. 

Happy Thanksgiving, lovelies! Personally, I'm grateful for stretchy pants. And you?
