It got pretty cool here in Chicago late last week — 40s and 50s — and I found myself scrambling to layer appropriately. I was down in River North last Friday morning, bouncing around to a series of meetings around the Merchandise Mart, and, as I walked along Kinzie, I realized: I’m so ready for ya, cold weather. It was a brisk, sunny morning. It felt good. Do you ever just take a big deep breath of crisp fall air and feel deeply satisfied?
Below, my top picks for cozy fall wear:
+Sherpa collar sweater vest ($80).
+Black peppercorn 3-wick candle ($74).
+Burgundy hi-tops ($130).
+Sherpa jacket ($168 — also comes in navy!).
+Coziest mittens (just snagged a pair in the ivory color — $39 — they are fleece-lined!).
+Plaid poncho ($32!!!)
+Pretty Ballerinas flats ($159).
+Woven tote (Truss, $160).
+Mes Demoiselles sherpa coat ($322).
+Mansur Gavriel bucket bag ($495).
+Sorel boots ($145).
+Buffalo check dress ($100).
+Diptyque bois cire candle ($62).
+Buffalo check coat ($115).
+Bootie ($105).
+Oversized plaid scarf ($44).
