A great bridesmaids' gift for those of you having weddings during months when the weather can jump from 75 to 45 overnight (and your girlfriends may not have planned to bring along something to protect them against the chill): Yoox 100% cashmere wraps ($135; available in a wide variety of colors).

One Of My Favorite Things About Working From Home
Right now:
- My hair is soaked in an oil treatment
- I have on a mud mask
- There are white Kerstin Florian eye-depuffer stickers pasted under my eyes
No, But Seriously? / Li-Lac Chocolates NYC
These might be the best fancy chocolates (I put those in a separate category from, say, Snickers) that I have ever eaten in my life. I would have taken a picture of the selection that Melissa brought me the other day as a Pre-Baby gift...but it's gone.
Please order some, so you can see what I'm talking about for yourself. Recommended: the Mint Cream Patty (oh my god), the chocolate-covered Oreos, and the Marzipan Rolls. Check out their entire selection here.
And apparently there's a location in Grand Central, which means that a trip to Midtown is happening today. You think I'm kidding? I'm not.
Major Fall Lust Objects / Lizzie Fortunato
The new fall earrings from Lizzie Fortunato (from left: Smoky Prickly Pear, Brown Eagle, Prickly Pear) might be my favorite pieces that I've seen in awhile: they manage to be simultaneously incredibly unique and easy to wear anywhere, with anything (with jeans during the day, paired with a silk blouse at night). I'm crazy about Lizzie Fortunato generally these days (I wore one of her necklaces in this post); her stuff is just so different, so eye-catching, and so well-priced for statement pieces of this caliber.
Oh, fine: let's look at one more.
(That's the Oh, Pioneer bracelet. Sigh.)
