Wrap me up...

...in summer-to-fall wrap cardigans! Whether you find yourself in a seasonal fashion transition (which is starting soon, sorry dearies) or just want to be prepared for ever-present temperature changes (darn air conditioners!), a flowy, feminine wrap cardigan is the perfect piece to add to your wardrobe staples.

I am a particularly big fan of the longer, slouchier, sans buttons, semi-shawl versions that can add a lovely, elegant je ne sais quoi to dresses or t-shirts while having the capability of becoming a mini-blanket in a pinch. Multi-tasking is what we're all about, right lovelies?

Look for these in a deep jewel color or in a floaty, ethereal pale hue and in whatever fabric tickles your fancy - cashmere, silk or cotton jersey, angora...as long as it looks like you didn't put any effort into your chic self, you're getting it right ;)

I promise that you won't regret throwing this on your body or into your bag for that extra layer of prettiness (and warmth) at a moment's notice.

Check out ShopStyle.com for an amazing array of ideas or my go-to website for handmade and custom styles, Etsy.com.

So go get wrapped up in something irresistibly cozy yet fabulously free of frumpiness!

Diane von Fabulousberg...

Dress obsession of the day! The Diane Von Furstenberg "Lanii" Wrap Dress in a camel fan print silk charmeuse.

This most excellent, very ladylike dress is so classic in that it's a Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress but so ultra-modern with its graphic print and obi-style belt. Plus, I am in love with the sleeves.

It's 40% off at Bluefly.com and, while it is still pricey, it's something you can wear for many an occasion, it should be highly flattering and...oh, what am I justifying for? It's a Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress! On sale! Seriously people!
