Armani Jacket $98. Leah Rose $82

This jacket is in the new fall collection and we added the skirt from summer... so chic.  Don't put away your summer pieces too soon--just add a jacket and a boot.  You could wear this day or night.

This deco-style bracelet is simply... stunning!

ALL THAT GLITTERS 
via Chanel

"Perfectly now and yet enraptured by a strong nostalgia for the past, Chanel’s fall 2013 makeup look is one every party girl will want to add to her arsenal of show-stopping beauty tricks. Eyes were flecked by pieces of glitter that not only lined the lid but clung gently to the eyelashes like shimmering fallen snow. Lead makeup artist Peter Philips made sure the look was one that caught the light from every angle, and caught everyone’s attention in the process."

"For the eyes: the focus here is obviously on the sparkling metallic glitter that clusters across the top lid and lashes. Peter Philips and the Chanel team used makeup glue to carefully stick chunky pieces of silver and gold glitter to the top lid.

First, dot the glitter pieces along the top lash line – using a cotton-tip to align them in place as you see fit – and then to complete the Chanel look add some pieces to the ends of the lashes."

Prada silver sequin sweater with zippers on the cuffs.  Lovely Bespoke wide legged trousers.  Wonderful for that first chilly night and there will be one.

Why not end the evening with a delightful stroll next door to Union Station?  Prohibition is over, so sashay over for a "Capone" cocktail. In a different mood?  Try the fresh soft pretzels at the Flying Saucer in the old Union Station "baggage room."
