Joy (and Jake) to the World

It's not easy being a fabulous jetsetter, but somebody's gotta do it. And if you're the one doing it, you might as well be doing it in high style. For your next jaunt to Paris, Milan or the supermarket, tote a glam and retro Joy and Jake travel case with you. You'll be mistaken for Jackie-O, and that's never a bad thing. The best part? You can score these beauties for more than half off – the medium for $35 (originally $75) and the mini for $25 (originally $65) at the always-stylish boutique (and BussBuss Haute Shop) Purple Peach.

Twiggy

You know how we feel about clever organization, and these jewelry organizers are sending us over the moon. We're, quite literally, hooked. Imagine all of your gorgeous baubles draped over these organic-esque jewelry trees and twig hooks. What's that? You're in need of some new baubles? Browse our Haute Jewelry designers for some lovely new options. Plant a jewelry tree in your home -- or add a branch to your jewelry family tree -- at the very cool Wrapables website.

Haute Mail

Holiday season is about to launch into full bloom and the best way to enjoy all the season has to offer is to be prepared. What's on a Total Hautie's checklist? Haute Paper, of course. For hostess gifts, to thank and to say hello, for invites to your own swell shindigs, for your season's greetings, for your signature finishing touch on gifts (fab gift tags, darling), and even haute paper for a good cause, like these Hope, Love, Strength cards by 7twentyfour press, as seen on Good Day New York this morning, posh paper is the new black. Scope out oodles of fab stationery by our Haute Paper designers in our Pretty Paper trend roundup at Haute Shops. Be sure to visit the Haute Paper page to score exclusive savings, too!

Animal Magnetism

Incorporate animal prints into your reooow-worthy wardrobe with this cute zebra-print cardigan. With jeweled-button accents, it's adorable over tees and blouses, dressed up or down, and is a sure style winner. Scoop it up for $34 (originally $44) at dELiAs.

Do Not Disturb

The best way to catch some zzzs on a flight, other than by ODing on Dramamine? Kick back with your headphones and cover your peepers. But a girl needs some variety in life, even in her sleep, which is why this eye mask set of three is the perfect travel companion. Reading 'Wake Me for Duty Free,' 'Do Not Disturb' and 'Wake Me for…' (food and drink), you'll have not only your eyes, but all of your bases, covered too. Score the set for $38 at Flight 001.

Bird Is the Word

It's hot. It's cold. It's hot. It's cold. Fall weather is more fickle than Paris Hilton with her boy toys. Stay prepared in style with a cool selection of cardigans, wraps and hoodies. We love this bird-adorned scrapbook hooded cardi with foxy ruffled shoulders. Available in toffee and gunmetal for $44.90 (originally $68) at Nordy's website.

Tricks or Treats?

Invited to a hip Halloween bash but don't know what to bring as a hostess gift? This bright and fun mini croc cocktail shaker ($22) will do the trick and will most certainly be a treat throughout the year -- not just for Halloween. If the hostess is a beauty addict, gift her with some Spookie Pookie candy corn lip balm ($7). If she has a sweet tooth and a wrong to right, plus a rocking sense of humor, bequeath her a chocolate voodoo doll ($7.95) to melt, poke and munch. Lastly, if she's a party girl, the Hangover From Hell mask ($14) will perk her up after a looong night of revelry (you should definitely treat yourself to one, too). Just pop the mask in the fridge for 15 minutes, then slip it over your head and let the cooling and soothing begin. Score all these fab Halloween goodies at one of our fave gift purveyors (and BussBuss Haute Shop) Wishingfish.

Dry Sense of Style

If the rain must keep falling like it has for an entire week now, we might as well look chic traipsing through town in yet another downpour. How so? By sporting a wonderfully designed Tray 6 umbrella. With a comfy rubber ergonomically designed handle, an auto-open mechanism and a patented wind-resistant fiberglass rib frame, these umbrellas not only look good, but are good for you too (well, as good for you as an umbrella can be). If you're in rain-filled New York, pick one up in person at Rena Tom's new awesome Brooklyn shop Rare Device. Otherwise, score one online at the quirky and cool LA-based Aunt Beep.

Mine, All Myna

Sometimes a girl needs something ultra-girly to perk up her day. We can think of nothing more girly and fun than these darling Myna Bags. Best of all, they're all marked down to ultra-low prices (up to 80% off!), especially considering they're handmade and have the sweetest attention to detail. Pick out your fave (and keep in mind the impending holiday season and what great gifts they make!) at Myna Bags.

Brown Velvet, If You Please

Great cut, great shape, in one of the season's hottest trends -- velvet. Just a few reasons why we dig this fab jacket. Need more? It's fully lined, has slightly puffed sleeves and looks really expensive, but it's not. Marked down from $70 to just $44.99, snag this bronze brown beauty before it's gone at the GAP sale.

Trick or Treat?

Mos def a treat! This scarf seems so perfect for the Halloween and fall season. Plus, it's the easiest way to add some sweetness to your life (well, that and this crazy cute and silly bon-bon necklace that is). Scoop up a Tootsie scarf at Fred Flare.

Shoe La La

Vintage glam and lady-like looks are big this season. But we like our lady-likeness in small doses and figured you might, too. The perfect RX? This smashing pair of velvet pumps, available in black velvet, chocolate velvet and green velvet, as well as grape, bronze and black. A subtle rhinestone accent puts this pair over the edge. Pick up a pair in your fave hue at Nordy's website. Plus, get free shipping on your entire order when you buy a pair of shoes! Get all of the details here.

Style Stuffers

We can't believe we're saying this, but it's that time of year again. When shopping means being on the lookout for Christmas gifts -- for others (selfish friends and fam expecting gifts – I swear!). While browsing one of our fave sites today, Intuition (check out the new makeover btw), we found some adorable stocking stuffers/gifts for coworkers. We're crazy about these chain mesh keychain coin purses ($16) and think these luggage tags are hilarious ($12). Get a head start on your holiday shopping at celebrity-favorite Intuition.

p.s. Speaking of celebrities, did you hear TomKat's baby news? Read and chat all about it on Haute Talk!
