You don't have to belong to a country club or live on Central Park West to add one of these structured, ladylike handbags to your collection. In fact, structured bags are the hot bag this season. We've spotted the trend on the catwalk, the silver screen and all over the fashion blogosphere.

We're big fans of boots in every variety, but a tall boot with a flat-to-the-floor sole or slightly chunky heel is a closet necessity. They instantly dress up denim, and they can be worn running errands or commuting without killing your feet. Plus, they're much more practical than a sky-high heeled option when winter is still in full force.

We try to steer clear of anything that can ruin a good hair day, but when temperatures drops to single digits with winds that stop you in your tracks, a little hat hair is a small price to pay in exchange for keeping your ears from falling off. (Plus, you can read these stories and learn some preventative steps to ward off creases and static.)

For years, we've kept our turtlenecks tucked away at the bottom of the sweater pile, waiting for the world to fully appreciate their greatness once again. Admittedly, they don't exactly have a name that exudes cool and trendy (even if they were favored by style icons like Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy). Yet these runway and celebrity finds prove the turtleneck sweater can be just that.

We may have found a foolproof solution for cold weather dressing: maxi skirts. Yes, they are popular for al fresco dining and beach getaways, but our favorite style stars have made them winter ready by pairing them with knit sweaters and over-the-knee boots.
