My roundup of truly fabulous and unexpected finds for the season below — a sherpa liner vest but in rich plum! A knit snood with an on-trend bandana motif! A wool jacket with faux fur pockets! How fabulous, to have a little element of the whimsical and unexpected. It feels like a little wink to joy.

Below, the kinds of things you’ll get constant compliments on and will forever invite the question “…where did you get that?!”
01. Bandana print faux fur jacket. She’s so good. I can’t stop featuring her!
02. I am obsessed with this Alex Mill vest — I have a liner vest in expected ivory sherpa but why not try a color? Such a great and unexpected little twist.
03. This bandana snood from a favorite small Parisian label is in my cart. Beyond fab.
04. Leather glacier boots with the coolest whipstitch trim! Peak hygge. Look so cool with slouchy jeans tucked in.
05. A Magpie reader shared these marigold rubber clogs for misty, chilly mornings. That little academic ribbon stripe pull at the back is beyond charming.
06. I adore this embellished collar. Makes the outfit!
07. I snagged this showstopping coat — which now comes in rich red as well! You can remove the fringed cape for a different look.
08. Have you seen these lace trim pants? So fun! Pair with a chunky knit or cashmere tee.
09. Loads of cheeky and whimsical options on these fun bag charm clusters. $35 to completely reinvent your handbag personality — plus get a little bonus discount with code JEN15. I’ve been wearing mine on this little Parker Thatch or my RDV (I’ll transfer from tote to tote). I love the way it softens a masculine bag.
10. Handwoven suede loafer. Just like the more expensive ones from Belgian shoes, but with an unexpected textured weave. Love love love the silhouette of these. J. Crew has a great look for less.
11. Funky fur pockets on this coat. Beyond cool. Imagine over a simple sweater and jeans.
12. Love the retro wink on this fun puffer jacket.
13. Tailored utility pant — the cargo pockets add so much interest! I snagged a pair and will share thoughts on styling and sizing soon.
14. Cashmere cowhide print scarf! You probably recognize this from a lot of my recent “what I loved wearing” posts. It completely makes and outfit! I’ve had two friends order this on the spot after seeing me in it. It’s cozy and different! Try code GIRWELCOME10.
15. Shearling lined boots. I own a pair of these in a different colorway and they are a longtime favorite. Super cozy and warm. I love these for sports sidelines on a chilly morning.
16. Amazing statement bag for the holidays. I got this last year and can’t wait to bring out again this season! I’ve even had men compliment me on it — lol! I have the embellished one but I love the new velvets.
17. Love the eyelet details on this.
18. An elevated twist on Ugg mules.
19. The beloved colby pant in a new velvet leopard print.
