Banana Republic 'Anna Karenina' Collection


Banana Republic is creating an exclusive limited-edition collection inspired by the film Anna Karenina, out in November starring Keira Knightley and Jude Law. Curated by the film's Costume Designer, Jacqueline Durran, the special holiday collection features modern pieces for men and women, including alluring embellishments, luxe fabrics, and romantic styles reflective of the film's high-society period. The collection features more than 75 pieces, and ranges in price from $29.50 for jewelry to $500.00 for a blazer. I got a mailing the other day from Banana announcing the collection plus coupons good for 25% off your purchase when you use your Visa card on select days, so keep an eye on your mailbox if you want to shop this! I might get the faux fur stole (shown below) for my sister's upcoming winter wedding. LOVE. Look for the line on October 30 in Banana Republic stores and on BananaRepublic.com.

What I'm Wearing: Chaps Cable-Knit Sweater




Lately the weather is lending itself to light layers and cozy knits, and right now my Chaps cable-knit sweater has become an absolute wardrobe staple. I've been wearing mine with skinny jeans and printed button-downs for a preppy-with-a twist vibe but they'd pair equally well with skirts or layered over dresses for a more feminine feel. The perfect blend of soft and warm, these cotton-blend sweaters are ideal for those with sensitive skin (totally not itchy, which I love). Chaps sent me a cable-knit sweater in emerald green and another in dark plum, two rich colors I'm loving for fall. Now I want one in ivory, black and pink (how cute would it look paired with a leopard pencil skirt and sequin clutch?!) The price on these sweaters is just right, too, only $34.99 at Kohl's (down from $50) which means you can stock up!
