Cozy Up
With finals and the holidays rapidly approaching, and the weather finally cooling down in Austin, it's the best time of year to cozy up in adorably comfortable sweaters. These are my favorite places to find equally stylish and comfortable sweaters!
Gap - The best basics! Gap's chic selection of simple, good quality, and affordable sweaters has something to suit everyone.
J. Crew - Though the sweaters are high priced, they earn their worth in style and quality.

Dressed for Winter
In my recent search for some nice fall dresses I realized how difficult they can be to find, especially if you're on a budget. These styles are easy ways to incorporate some more dressy looks into your fall wardrobe.
Sequins and Sparkles The right sequined dress looks classy, stylish, and bold. To accessorize, try to minimize shine and go for matte materials so the look isn't overwhelming.

Nasty Gal Ella Sequin Dress $78
To tone this look down a bit, go for a dress with embellishing on one part, instead of all over.

Peplum is sophisticated and stylish. A simple, solid color peplum dress is great for statement jewelry and accessories. The dress can stand out on it's own, but wont over power other aspects of the outfit. Plus, the silhouette looks great on everyone!
Prints The right printed dress looks stylish, elegant, and interesting. The material on a formal printed dress is key: go for chiffon, or fabrics with a bit of shine (polyester often is), and avoid cotton.To keep the look from being too crazy, go simple on jewelry and accessories.
If it's too cold, wear a shorter dress with a pair of sheer tights.
Lace is classic and elegant. Sheer lace sleeves show a bit of skin, but still look winter appropriate. Make a metallic lace (silver, or gold-like the dress on the right) pop with jewelry of a similar tone.
Epitome of an Enchantress Dress $189.99
Dame of Chance Dress $137.99
Don't be afraid to dress your look down! These casual winter dresses are great for everyday wear.
Chevron-dezvous Dress $49.99
H&M Dress $29.95
And don't forget the power of layering! Any simple dress can be made more cold-weather-appropriate by a nice sweater.
H&M Sweater $29.95
Gap Colorblock Tunic $54.95

Online Shopping
The popularity and accessibility of the internet has changed the fashion world. Every bag, sweater, or shoe you could possibly want can be shipped directly to your doorstep in a matter of days. This amazing resource can be both addicting and helpful. For whatever reason you love online shopping, these are some of my favorite places to shop on the web.
Nordstrom carries a wide selection of good quality, high end products at a variety of prices. Plus, they now carry Topshop and Topman!
Topshop 'Dillon' Studded Denim Shirt (Petite)
$72
$60
Urban Outfitter's in-store selection is already fantastic, but their online selection (which includes the online exclusives) is a shopaholic's paradise. These are a few of my favorite online only pieces from Urban Outfitters:
$69
ModCloth is one of the web's greatest online shops. Their unique selection of vintage inspired pieces will have you head-over-heels in love. ModCloth features many different designers and offers free shipping for orders over $50. These are just a few of my many favorites on this adorable site!

Amazon.com sells everything from designer bags to boxes of cereal, all at unbelievably low prices! One of my favorite things to get on Amazon is iPhone cases. You can get great cases that usually sell for over $30 or $40 for under $10!
New Speck Candyshell Glossy iPhone 4S/4 FineWine Burgundy (Burgundy Red/Teal)
$6.90
Hand Made Lace and Pearl Green Hard Case Cover for iPhone 4 4G 4S
$2.33
Amazon.com also has a great selection of apparel from companies around the world. It's a great place to find jeans, because of the low prices, the only downside is that you cannot try things on before you purchase them.
