The gray floral pouch and pretty in pink clutch make great gifts for sisters and BFFs.

We're also loving the cheeky cards, like Happy No Particular Holiday and You Rock My Socks.

hi nina!

i'd love to know if you have any favorite shops (online or off) for scoring great bargains or looks for less?

thanks!

Nina,

What underground advice/secret/tip would you give to a jewelry designer regarding how to get their designs featured in Elle?

As a jewelry designer, there is a good bit of information available regarding launching into the business but nearly nothing on how to get their product in the pages of magazines. Will a grass-roots attempt be a shot in the dark or is it necessary to take out a loan and hire a PR agency?

Up to 50% Off Veteran's Day Sale & Modern Vintage Holiday Frocks

It's holiday party season, which means it's time to have a little fun playing dress-up.

And we are loving the vintage '60s vibe of these cocktail dresses. There's something very Cynthia Rowley meets Kate Spade meets cocktails around the glittering pool in Palm Springs about them.

Plus, they're all on sale at Macy's Veteran's Day Sale, where you'll find a lot of great things at up to 50% off.

Take a peek at chic at Macy's.

P.S. Be sure to take a moment to thank all the veterans in your life. After all, what would your life be like without them?

The Cutest Cardigans & 15% Off at Delias

We're working away on finishing our fabulous fall boots guide and have just begun a cute cardigans guide as well. These are so cute and affordable that we just couldn't wait to share.

Animal prints are very in, and we think this animal cardi is a great way to get in on the trend without overdoing it or spending a lot.

We also love the black and white floral print cardigan -- it's got a very Tory Burch vibe without having to pay the TB price.

Finally, what girl can resist a boyfriend cardigan? We love the preppy, punchy green. Again very Tory Burch meets Kate Spade. Pair with some bright tights and you'll be unforgettable.

Wandrlust

We love Los Angeles-based Woodson & Rummerfield for their high-design home interiors and are thrilled that we can now shop their fabulous finds online.

We imagine Kelly Wearstler popping in for gorgeous wallpapers and furnishings and, of course, irresistible animal accessories.

We lust for the fabulous pillows, which are actually quite reasonable, as well as lacquered lamps, glam high-back chairs and sexy vases.

If we could, we'd splurge on some of those drool-worthy wallpapers, too.

Take a peek at Wandrlust.
