Ann Taylor Holiday 2010

I've been way behind on reporting on holiday previews, but the good news is these items either are already available or will be making their way into Ann Taylor stores soon! I don't know about you but I haven't even started on my own holiday wishlist (let alone gifts I have to buy for other people) but I definitely spotted my favorites.

Here's my list of Ann Taylor holiday must-haves:

• Long Sleeve Funnel Neck Tunic, $54
• Long Sleeve Side Ruched Top, $58
• Sleeveless Cowl Neck Top, $68 (available online only)
• Wool Nylon Boatneck Tunic, $78
• Faux Fur Midnight Vest, $198
• Modern Wool Funnel Jacket, $228
• Feather Ponte Skirt, $298
• Feather Clutch, $138
• Perfect Platform Pump - Lizard, $198
• Falling Snowflakes Necklace, $138

I try to make sure each season I shop for a mixture of classic pieces I know I can keep in my wardrobe season after season but also treat myself to some trendy pieces that add some flare. Tunics and cowl neck tops always work for my frame, and I love adding at least one jacket or skirt, but always look for something that doesn't resemble what I already own. Nothing beats finding something that has the perfect fit - you'd be amazed at how much I save by not having to hem pieces! I always look to accessories to complete my outfit , by wearing a belt, necklace, bracelet or scarf (just make sure you don't over-accessorize).

Let's not forget shoes! Shoes is something I'd be willing to spend a little more on because they have to be comfortable! I am always looking for a fall/winter leather boot to add to my collection, as well as a 4-inch heel to wear with a fab dress and of course make myself look taller!
