Steven by Steve Madden Intyce Boots

There's something innately powerful about a tall boot. A length of leather on the leg instantly lends edge to the sweetest of skirts or gives an equestrian aesthetic to jeans and a wool blazer. Endless is running a great sale with an additional promotion on these Steven by Steve Madden Intyce boots, and the low wedge and soft almond-shaped toe recall the Loeffer Randall Mathildes with a more recession-friendly price. The cognac color is also great, but I can't resist basic black. I've been wearing them with skinnies and long cashmere cardigans, but I wore them out this week with a flippy miniskirt and a sweater set to add some zest to preppy basics.

J.Crew Ribbed Wool Glittens

Though I love my iPhone, the touchscreen is definitely not Chicago winter-friendly and I hate having to take off my gloves whenever I need to answer a call. Enter glittens, the glove/mitten hybrid that lets me tap on the phone screen without having to remove the wooly goodness from my hands. I ripped off the plain white buttons and sewed on sweet little pearls for a little more style, and these will definitely be a winter staple this year.

Nicely Done: Rachel Bilson

Rachel Bilson paired chic black and white basics for lunch out with a friend. The cropped length shows off her Ferragamo grey peep-toe shoes with metal heels, and her pants have pleats! Pleats! That are chic! Nicely done indeed.
