A mini trend I've noticed in home decor lately is agate, whether it's an agate slice atop a jewelry box, agate at the center of a starburst, or framed agate wall art as I've rounded up here. I've spotted these pieces - which can look earthy and refined or midcentury glam - at Target, T.J.Maxx, Marshalls and Homegoods. The best part is these designs look high end but carry a budget friendly pricetag! The wall art here is under $15, making it a stylish and affordable addition to your home.

Hang them up solo or as part of a striking gallery wall....

Today we're going back in time to 2009 when Sienna Miller was a streetstyle star and layered monochrome looks ruled for fall. It seems like everything and nothing has changed in these past seven years! Her cozy casual look is just as chic today, which is why we've recreated it with a tan peacoat, gray jeans and buckle detail ankle boots. You can even mimic her layered pullover look with a lace-hem top from Chicwish, the perfect feminine foil to the militaristic jacket. Finish the look with a gorgeous burgundy bag - a splurge item you can save big on during the Shopbop Event of the Season Sale...you'll carry it for seasons to come.

Here's one sweater you won't want to cover with a chunky blanket scarf. It's the lace-up sweater, and it's a new must-have for fall 2016. My favorite ones feature chunky knit styling with gromet lacing. #obsessed Paired with a simple velvet choker, you'll have the most winning combination ever. I've been looking high and low for a budget version in stores but to no avail, however, I did find one online at Missguided.com under $50 (also comes in this gorgeous dusty blush hue). I think it's fascinating how designers can tweak one tiny detail on a staple such as the sweater and make it instantly fresh and covetable. Have you picked up on the lace-up sweater trend yet?

Feminine tops are having a big moment right now, and Lucy Hale nails the trend in her floral v-neck blouse paired with skinny jeans and light tan ankle boots. It's a girly, boho look that's perfect for a coffee run, as the Pretty Little Liars star demonstrates. I'm loving the bell sleeve detailing, and how she balanced the subdued drama of the top with curve-hugging blue jeans and Western-inspired boots.

Temperatures dropped here in Connecticut yesterday and I was able to wear my new BP plaid blanket scarf for the first time (seen here). My exact scarf is sold out (I bought it during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale), but of course I wouldn't leave you ladies hanging - I found some amazing lookalikes on Amazon, my not-so-new, not-so-secret source for affordable fashion finds.

I just ordered the scarf shown above so I'll keep you posted when it arrives, but as far as the online pics go, it looks similar to BP's backordered 'Autumn' plaid scarf, which I've loved since spotting it on Jean from ExtraPetite, who paired hers with a chambray shirt, black leggings and cognac lace-up flats. #flawless Don't get me wrong: I love Nordstrom - I'm a new convert - but it doesn't hurt to shop around when something's backordered!

The Amazon scarf is 59"x55", 100% acrylic; the BP scarf is 57"x53", 100% acrylic.

Tip: Walmart also has a great selection of plaid scarves this winter, mostly oblong (not sqare) for $9.97. Check them out in this post.
