December's Crushes

This month, though it is only 55 degrees, my crushes have begun to be more cold weather necessities like lip balm, moisturizer, cold-remedies and make-up that helps me not look like the walking dead.  I'm sure that current obsessions have a lot to do with the fact that I've just caught my husband's cold.  Now, I'm off to drink some OJ and use that Cold-Eeze.

Brands We Love - Linea Pelle

Thanks to an unexpected mid-November heatwave (you have to love the Southwest), I am running around in Gypsy 05's iconic Simple Organic Maxi Dress in peach and pink lemonade Trove Tkees sandals.  Tuesday was freezing, however, so I piled on one style trend after another to keep warm.  To top off my tights and sweater and booties, I cinched my waist with my favorite Linea Pelle belt.  Even though I haven't quite admitted to myself how much I splurged on that belt, I've worn it quite a bit, making it one of my most used purchases this fall.  This makes perfect sense, since the belt trend is one of the most visible ones around.  Basically, add a belt on top of any sweater, shirt or dress and you're suddenly on trend.

Though just about any belt will do to get you on trend (especially if you tie it instead of fastening it properly), this brand has stolen my heart because of their unique styles that you see nowhere else.  From the Vintage Pieced Leather Belt with its decidedly seventies, hippie feel to the very modern Pyramid Studded Hip Belt seen on Gwen Stefani, I love them all.  Plus, they make the most HiPPi of all accessories, the cuff bracelet.  Though I'm mentioning them almost as an afterthought, Linea Pelle purses are hugely popular with celebrities and for good reason.  Basically every item made by this brand is just perfect.

Get it for Less

Fond of these Tory Burch Howard Wedge Boots?  You don't have to pay $395 for the look.  Instead, try Jeffrey Campbell's Honest for $160 instead.  They are available at Lulu's, Nasty Gal, SoleStruck and Dear Fieldbinder.

Think $29 is a bit too steep for Urban Decay's All-Nighter Make-up Setting Spray?  SPiCY found a version by Sephora for only $12.

Like Valentino's Wool Tuxedo Shorts but hyperventilate at the idea of spending a grand on any item of clothing? No problem!  Try The Limited's Cassidy Shorts for 1/30th of the price or Avenue's Plus-Sized Pleated Ponte Shorts for even less and add a spunky belt.  Or wear Express's Satin Military Shorts for the same super-high hemline.

As enamored  by this Linea Pelle belt and as unwilling to pay more than $200 for it as Hippi is?  Don't worry, Madewell sells a similar one for only $52.

Like these Missoni tights, but prefer your printed tights for a lot less?  Try one of these options.

Belt It Out

The most hardworking accessory this fall is the belt.  Adding this accessory to just about anything updates your wardrobe.  A great belt over a dress, a cardigan or a jacket makes your old wardrobe staples look very trendy for fall 2010.  It is especially useful in making your work clothes more exciting and trendy.  While thicker, distinctive belts really spice up dresses, with jackets and cardigans thinner belts tend to work better.  Twist or knot the belt for a bit of extra flare.
