SIMPLY VERA VERA WANG
Kohl's, www.kohls.com
As seen on many attendees at the recent Fashion Week in New York, the Simply Vera Vera Wang line is the bargain brand of choice for the fast-fashion crowd. For fall, bundling up certainly comes with a reasonable price tag. This faux fur scarf ($30) and ruched long gloves ($30) are a good place to start. The hooded cardigan ($68) makes a cozy transitional topper. One thing I've learned in observing how Wang dresses herself: Buy your sweaters one size larger than you need and you'll look and feel more fashionably relaxed, not like you're trying too hard.
Opening soon: Later this month, check out the new StyledLife (www.styledlife.com) in Galleria. The downtown accessories shop in Gaviidae will open a second location in the suburbs, cornering the market on all shopping centers that start with "Ga."
