Leave it to Blair Waldorf to get this color combination right. The bag, the shoes, the coat, the scarf — if I could steal just one look for fall, this would be it!

“If you want something done, just ask a busy woman to do it!” 
                …Sarah Jessica Parker to Leonard Lopate, when asked how she manages 
                                               to do so many things and do them all so well…

Lanvin for H&M? I am so on board! On November 20, the collection arrives — take a guess about where I’ll be! I love this eye-popping yellow dress. And for the guys, how fantastic are these blue formal shoes? These designs are the perfect way to spice up your holiday wardrobe without breaking the bank.

Happy Friday dear readers — and happy November too! This weekend is a busy one for me. For the past few months, I have been working hard as co-chair of the 2010 Student Communications Career Conference for New York Women in Communications. This Saturday is the big day, and what a line-up we have! Lots of fabulous women with lots of inspiring ideas — I can’t wait to hear all the tips and advice they have to share. What about you? What are your weekend plans? To kick it off on the right foot, here are a few fun posts from around the web:  

City prints — including New York!

A wedding that manages to be rustic and elegant all at once.

Recipe for a spicy squash salad — YUM.

Don’t you wish you were flying to Maui right now?

Start your holiday shopping at Henri Bendel (20% off!).

Be cozy (or married) here. 

Trend alert: mustard yellow!  

Cute kids wearing Stella McCartney.

Tools for achieving a work-life balance! 

For Matt: a shout-out to the San Francisco Giants!

As far as creativity goes, on Halloween, it can be a tough accolade to score. That is, unless you’re the brother/sister duo pictured above. Dressed as Ron Burgundy, this guy paraded around his ‘hood dropping quotes from the movie: “Oh Baxter.” “Scotch, scotch, scotch, I love scotch.” His sister? She’s a zombie girl scout, of course. These kids put my Lady Gaga costume to shame!

(On that note, I promise — pictures of me dressed as Gaga to come!)
