Rag & Bone: A Man's Best Bag

You gotta love a good, masculine-(esque) man bag. And this Rag & Bone Everest Overnight duffle does the trick. Its wool and leather top handle (with detachable adjustable leather shoulder strap) makes for a convenient, trendy staple for your overnight outing. Plus, the chestnut and olive color blend is SO seasonally appropriate and basically just perfect.

Just Jamie Scarves: Just Right

Scrap those knitting needles you know you'll never use (it's almost time for a brand new New Year's resolution, anyway) and pull up the go-to site for all your scarf-related needs: JustJamieScarves. Not only will you find the necessary comfy basics, but exotic and creative designs are also presented, such as infinity, celeb-inspired, unisex, animal prints and more.

Here, designer Jamie Futterman, who describes herself as "strong, intense, sexy, and rocker chic," discusses her journey to scarves, fan favorites and why she's been deemed the "scarf lady."


Age: 22

Residence: Upper East Side, New York City

When did you first start working on your scarf line?
When I first entered Syracuse University, I was looking for a way to make an extra buck. (I mean, what girl in college doesn't need to make a little extra money?) I soon got involved with Greek Life and set up several philanthropies where I would create tons of scarves, sell them and donate a percentage of my earnings to a selected charity. It wasn't long after that I developed the nickname "scarf lady."

Tell us, why scarves?
Scarves are my favorite accessory by far. They allow me to be original in my outfits and can transform a boring look into something stylish at a small price.

You have different design categories, but how would you describe
the collection as a whole?
Just Jamie Scarves is fashion at an affordable price. Our customer is stylish, vibrant and embodies New York City spirit.

What has the response been like so far?
I launched my site recently and have been doing so well. The orders are starting to come in from all over the country! It's so exciting seeing people wearing my designs.

Which design has been a fan favorite?
Since the launch of my site (only one week ago), best selling scarves have been the designer-inspired zig-zag-patterned "Damaris" and the “Alyssa Web Knit Pucker" scarves.

What can we look forward to in coming months?
I hope to expand to incorporate additional accessories, including costume jewelry and bangles, but for now I'm taking it one step at a time. For winter, stay tuned for some awesome chunky knit eternity scarves.

Rain & Snow Rain Boots

Rainy weather has never been a friend of the fashion-conscious woman. Frizzy hair, dripping eye makeup, and the overwhelming shoe dilemma. Who really wants to lug an extra pair of shoes to work on soggy mornings? I certainly do not. So, I've researched a rain boot (no, it's not made by Hunter, thank you) chic enough that swapping footwear is unnecessary and with enough lining to keep my toes warm even during winter months. VoilĂ ! I bring you Banana Republic's newest addition: Roman equestrian rain boots. These keepers look JUST LIKE leather riding boots, I swear, and sell for under $100. I'd advise you get these into your shopping cart ASAP.

Fall Is For (Faux) Fur

I'm a believer in fur accents. I don't find oversized fur coats, bulky sweaters, or bags to be attractive on, well, anyone. What I am into are faux fur pieces that compliment an outfit without being overbearing. This Juicy Couture vest, with its black ribbed back and long draping bow, is the perfect way to wear a fur item. What do you think? Are you into the faux fur look?

Fabulously Fashionable (and Wearable) Flats

What's the trick to scoring solid, walkable flats that won't blister up your poor heels? If Italian leather and a man-made lining and sole doesn't do the trick, I'm not sure anything will. These lovely, earth-toned J.Crew slip-ons, adorned with the perfect amount of bows and bling, are just as wearable with your cute daytime frock as those burgundy tights and tweed skirt you're itching to break out for fall. Which other flat styles keep your feet intact?

Fresh for Fall

While I do love my T-Strap sandals and summer floral dresses, fall is fast approaching and days of patterned tights, knee-high boots and chunky sweaters are getting me giddy. But who says we have to say goodbye to knits and cut-out sandals? Here, Anthropologie presents their latest Leaftop booties, the perfect blend of seasonal Earthy tones and a playful construction. I think I'm in love.
