ALL SANDBOX NEW

My latest obsession is belting my coats. It's not new, I didn't create it, but I love it. The layering creates a very figure-flattering shape and is so chic that it could even double as a dress. See images from Christian Dior Fall 2012 for inspiration.

Stop back tomorrow to see my "metal belt over coat" execution. Until then, here's a sneak peek.

I like em big. I like em chunky. I'm obviously talking about my scarves (get your mind out of the gutter). So I'm lucky that my home, DC, is also home to knitwear designer, Virginia Arrisueno of DeNada Design. Her latest look book leaves me feeling warm and cozy and like every season, I want every piece. Take a look...

Don't live in DC? No worries. Shop DeNada online or at these retailers. If you do live in DC, I've got good news for you. DeNada will also be among the 30 brands featured at Union Market's, Dock 5 - a retail space called Thread. More info on Thread here.
