That’s a Wrap
Trying to keep a scarf wrapped snuggly around a little neck is usually a losing battle, but not with the brightly hued, paisley-printed lola et moi scarf. Its unique design includes a loop that the loose end of the scarf easily slides through to fasten, making slipping scarves, and cold necks, a distant memory. Added bonus: the scarf is long enough for mom too. lola et moi, an international favorite for sometime, is just now hitting the states and has landed gracefully at sillydillytotspot.com. Visit today and scope out all the latest and greatest for fall.

Skinny Pants Be Gone
Gone is the skinny pant craze (a collective sigh of relief) and back is the fresh, flattering look of the wide leg pant. Any way you wear it, cuffed or creased, black or pinstriped, it is a look that accentuates the good and hides the bad. One to try: INC International Concepts Pipe-Trim,Wide-Leg Pant.

The Nails Have IT
Color that is, and whether it graces your fingers or feet, deeply hued nail polish is back in a big way. Think melty chocolates and ruby reds. All with a hint of sparkle or shimmer. OPI’s Russian Collection is a fun collection of four, including the deepest sapphire blue and a sophisticated jewel-toned red.
