Daily Style: Urban Outfitters Boucle Cap

This boucle cap from Urban Outfitters is one of the cutest I’ve seen to date, and I love that it’s crafted from one of my favorite fall fabrics.

The subtle gray threads add interest to the cap without totally overwhelming the eye, so the cap is versatile and will perfectly complement fall’s crisp, gray days. This would be the ideal addition to your favorite outfit for a fall football game or a hazy autumn afternoon. Love!

Urban Outfitters Boucle Cap is available from Urban Outfitters for $34.

Smashbox Reign Jet Set Palette

Lately, I’ve been a huge fan of Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof liners. They offer fantastic wear and are a nice alternative to other gel eye liners (not nearly as dry as Stila Smudgepots but less emollient than Bobbi Brown’s Long Wear Gel Eyeliners).

This Smashbox Reign Jet Set Palette includes four fabulous eye liner shades and would be phenomenal for travel.

I often find myself wishing I had more shades of liner to play with during quick getaways, but just can’t sacrifice the space in my makeup bag for six jars of liner, so this kit is the perfect way to tote a variety of choices in a relatively slim package.

Smashbox Reign Jet Set Palette is available from Sephora for $48.

Daily Style: Coach Poppy Patent Glam Tote

I’m still making up my mind about Coach’s recent foray into a new market. The Poppy line is designed with a lower price point in mind and lots of splashy colors, but few of the classic designs I’ve come to expect from Coach.

The exception? This fabulous Poppy Patent Glam Tote. The contemporary design and fun finish transcends age barriers and would be a great addition to anyone’s bag wardrobe. I love the way the patent adds a vibrant, young feel to a classic silhouette. The punchy, vibrant shade of magenta is my favorite, but the black is equally cool and slightly more sophisticated.

Coach Poppy Patent Glam Tote is available from Macy’s for $268.

Exclusive Orchidee Vanille Eau de Parfum

I’m a sucker for anything vanilla scented, and this exclusive new scent from famed Paris jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels sounds nothing short of luscious. (I also can’t help but thinking it would smell even more sensational when paired with gorgeous, glittering diamonds. Too bad those aren’t included!)

The scent takes the vanilla pod and adds “woody cedar and balsamic tonka bean and notes of transparent white musk” to add depth and dimension and is crafted from the finest raw materials.

The amber-hued vanilla goodness comes packaged in a hallmarked and embossed presentation gift box, so French and so beautiful!

Orchidee Vanille Eau de Parfum is available from Neiman Marcus for $185.
