Hue Corduroy Stretch Leggings

One of our favorite purchases from this year's Anniversary sale at Nordstroms is our Hue Corduroy Stretch Leggings.  They're super comfortable, have pockets and seams (if you're the type to show her backside in leggings), and will be perfect this fall to wear with our boots.  At $34, you can afford buy a few colors!

Nars Funny Face Lipcolor and JCrew Fall Lookbook

This fall you'll see military inspired neutrals (especially olive). The JCrew's fall lookbook is full of sassy girl scout inspired pieces with lots of texture, leather, fur, and hats. We love that the JCrew stylists used Nars' Funny Face lipcolor as a "punctuation mark" for an otherwise monochrome palette.

Vote for Us in the Tory Burch Blogger Stylist Contest!

The other night we attended a soiree at the Tory Burch store in NYC's Meatpacking District with other top fashion bloggers. We were challenged to style a model wearing one of the new styles of Tory Burch denim. After a mad dash around the store, here's the outfit we styled.

Two of our favorite pieces--which the photo doesn't quite do justice--are the Steffi Clutch

and the Oren Bootie

If you like our look, please vote for us on Tory Burch's Facebook page under the "Latest" tab under Blogger Styles!

Cosabella Jeggings

For those who like the look of skin tight jeans, but not the feel, Cosabella has the perfect answer--a denim-inspired line of leggings aka faux denim leggings. The trompe l'oiel jeggings are seamless and pocketless and we would bet about as comfy as a pair of Cosabella thongs--seemingly ideal for a long plane flight. Available at Zappos.

A Peek Inside Stacey Bendet's Carry On

A self-described New York native, downtown-fashionista and all-around fun girl, Stacey Bendet, Alice + Olivia designer, makes some of our all time favorite party outfits. (It's possible that she may be the only woman in the world who loves sequins more than JSG's Hope.) That's Stacey (left) with pal Leigh Lezark at the party celebrating her collab with Alice + Olivia for MAC cosmetics. (We were at the party, too!) We couldn't wait to see what Stacey travels with.

My carry on is a big Givenchy black bag filled to the rim with everything from ruffled socks to Hello Kitty doll to Croc charms for my daughter Eloise.

I always have a random assortment of hair accessories….and trident gum, La Mer cream and some sort of olive oil unscented body lotion, Jason sunbrellas sunblock, child perfume oil.  Tons of magazines---British Vogue, French Vogue. Official, Numero, Nylon ext… everything I can fit!

Love all MAC make-up, I travel with nail polishes from my MAC Alice + Olivia line!  (That's Morning After, So Rich So Pretty and Military).

I also always have Kevin aucoin undereye concealer (aka: sleep in a tiny jar).  I love MAC dazzleglass for my lips, including Sparkalicious, If it's Pink and I.Want.Candy. from my line and all the YSL glosses, I love benefit cream blush for a little after flight glow…
