I’ve been a fan of Stella McCartney’s collection for Adidas since its launch in 2004. The uber talented designer and daughter of Beetle Paul McCartney has always sworn by green business practices and does not use leather in her regular collection. Although, by the price tags of her handbags you would assume they were made of the finest Italian leather! Stella recently began to include organic cotton items into her sportswear line for Adidas, for the purely green at heart this is exciting news. I love this Adidas by Stella McCartney  Organic cotton hooded top. The double double wide toggles on the hood add unique touch and the extra large hood adds a cozy touch, almost like a warm fleecy heather shaded cowl that you can zip around your neck on the coldest of days.

Shop the entire Stella McCartney for Adidas Collection at Net-a-Porter here.

Take a peek at these LOVEeeely non-leather handbag suitable for stylish vegans and StyleMavens alike! Which is your fave? I can’t decide which I like more…definitely two opposing styles – the bad girl moto chick vs. sweetie pie romantic girly girl. I suppose it all depends on the day, and your mood.

This past week, luxe knitwear brand, Inhabit launched a new site. I am a fan of Inhabit, I love their modern cashmere styles and also am thrilled to see the new improved site design. It is sooo much easier to navigate and quickly find the latest styles or to check out the sale section. I’ll definitely be back to to shop for hubby, my sister and mom when holiday shopping time rolls around. Now that fall is in the air, we actually had to turn on our furnace last night, I’m in the mood to update my knitwear pieces for fall. Inhabit is extraordinary at the finer details of sweaters all in a luxe, super soft cashmere that doesn’t itch my sensitive skin. I only wear cashmere these days and I’m looking forward to seeing all of the new styles from Inhabit. Right now I’m totally obsessing over the Cashmere shawl vest. I like the longish silhouette and it is perfect for layering – a must for the micro-climates in San Francisco. I think I’ll belt it and pair it with my Rich and Skinny black skinny jeans.

10/19- 10/25-  20% off the entire site except for sale items. This promotion works for all San Francisco residents. Promo code is SANFRAN09

Also, check out Inhabit’s new blog. I always love to read more about what’s happening at the heart of every brand. Some fab and fun stuff here.

InHabit’s styles are also available from other online retailers, here are some of my picks for sweaters you’ll want to snuggle up in this winter.

Taylor Momsen, 'Gossip Girl' starlet and fashion ingénue was out and about at New York Fashion week and flaunting her sophisticated style. Taylor's dressing is very mature for a mere 15 year old. We love the combination of the delicate embroidered bubble skirt and cropped leather motorcycle jacket paired with the platform ankle booties. Adorable!

Pretty soft neutrals set the stage for the warmest days of spring. Shoes, handbags and beautiful dresses set the tone for blooming blossoms and a softer neutral palette for spring. Pair lighter shades of pastels and neutrals with darker deeper shades of ecru, tobacco, white and grey. Or do an all over shade of pastels neutral for an ultra-feminine look.

|I love the look of this Miu Miu Large east west tote. A fantastic roomy bag with classic lines and a color that matches almost any daytime look.

This Malene Birger Big button top is a pretty shade of nude and it's fluttering sleeves add a feminine touch to your most stark pencil skirt. Pair it with black for a crisp workday office look.

A Paul & Joe Grosdos sweater adds a sweet topping to white jeans. Marked down Was $200, now $120 at Net-a-Porter.

How about some pretty Juicy Couture Ever ballet flats to wear for a polished weekend look?

Victoria Beckham looked oh so lady like as she left NOBU in Manhattan. Swathed in a black tunic dress and Nancy Gonzalez Large Crocodile Clutch
. A wrist full of bangles and short leather gloves add a bit of eighties edge.

The Nancy Gonzalez bag is $2800 at Saks.com. If you aren't in the market for an authentic crocodile clutch take a look at my picks for silver/metallic and foldover clutches all inspired by Victoria Beckham's style.

Faux fur is the less expensive and guilt-free alternative to the real thing. Faux fur is now available in realistic looking textures, colors and patterns on coats, vests, boleros, boots, and all of the winter fashion items you are craving. Here are our picks for the most fabulous faux fur available online.

I also love the easy care for faux fur and we hope you love the faux fur styles we've choosen for you. We love the faux fur vests, for a luxe layering effect. Be sure to find a dry cleaner who specializes in faux fur care and read the care lable as well before cleaning.
