Gap's holiday campaigns never fail to get me excited for Winter dressing –– remember those commercials with the awesome dance routines? While this year's lookbook doesn't feature dancing models, it does showcase some pretty amazing layering pieces. I'm especially loving the focus on sequins and faux fur, and the cozy-cool Sherpa Moto Sweater ($128) has officially made its way to my wish list. Click through to see all the sparkly goodness and shop each look.
In terms of transitional wear, this bunch of sophisticated-cool J.Crew Looks We Love nails it. Sleek leather jackets paired with lean black pants, blazers tossed over luxe separates. Then, there are the colors to love: gray, cranberry, camel, and olive — all of our Fall favorites — piled up and layered on with sweaters and a taste of tweed. I know we've said it before, so forgive me for being predictable, but we're smitten with J.Crew. Click through for the nine looks we're crushing on for the chilly months ahead.
Whether you love precipitation of all sorts (like me) or you scowl at the thought of yet another snowstorm, one easy way to liven up any dark, damp day is with a stylishly warm knitted hair accessory.

Just because it's cold and rainy or snowing up a storm doesn't mean you have to look like a drowned rat while traveling to and fro.
Just because the temperature has dropped doesn't mean your skin care routine should, too. Before you start incorporating a whole new regimen, aesthetician Elena Capo of NYC's Cowshed Spa has a few tips on how you can prevent dry skin from happening in the first place. "If you have extremely dry skin, it may be because you are using the wrong product for your skin type," she says. To see the rest of her advice, just keep reading.
Layered up in cozy knits, a taste of leather, and a slick pair of pants might just be my Winter uniform. Thankfully, Gap's Winter '10 collection is basically a how-to in dressing just this way: balancing chunky knits, slim pants, and leather separates — there's even room for ruffles. Just click through for a peek at the Winter collection and a look at how to style it.

Johnny Ramirez makes it a point to get to know his clients' personalities up and down in order to give them the best hair color possible, and judging by this sexy photo, I don't think there are many of us that would complain about getting to know this celebrity colorist. Johnny recently started his own blog, Box No.216, where he plans to document color corrections on video, all while focusing on getting the effect of natural hair color. Earlier this week I talked to the friendly stylist, and now he's sharing with us some of his expert advice on getting the trendiest hair color now.
