Exciting news: Banana Republic just started their Fall Sale! What perfect timing, since Fall weather seems to be hitting everywhere, and I could use a few warmer additions to my wardrobe. They have plenty of options to keep me nice and cozy in cooler temperatures: cute little jackets, wool pants, silk scarves, sweaters, and pumps.

How amazing would this Plaid lightweight wool double-vent skirt, $50 (originally $88), be with a great pair of dark tights and sexy booties? The cut is very lady-like, the wool will keep you snuggly, and the cut makes it perfect for either work or a sophisticated night out. I'll take it!

"Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand"...Here's a silly video for you. No one can deny that Duran Duran took male fashion to another level. With their Havana suits, skinny ties, color mismatching and iconic hair cuts, Duran Duran was the poop back in the early 80s. This video provides a few chuckles to that extent, but the song also rocks. From the cut out shapes special effect, to the random paint splashing, to the freakin' funny phone talking scene on the boats, this video had me giggling. Hopefully it will put a smile on your face too.

In this week's Life & Style we are exposed to the best-selling heels right now. I love it when they do this sort of thing, because, well, I love any colorful lineup of fabulous shoes, but I thought some of them were ho-hum. So I went out and put together my own assembly line of some of the most Fabworthy pumps out there, in a range of prices. All you need to accompany these is the perfect LBD and va va voom Hollywood hair and voila: you are a force to be reckoned with.

So many of you have been asking about Angelina Jolie's nude flats that I just had to find you a similar and equally fabulous pair. Meet the Charles Albert Camel Flex Flats in 8.5. They are nude, flat and comfy, just like Angie's faves. If you're one of the many yearning for Angie's flats, here's your chance. The only catch is that the auction, currently at $9.99 (there is a Buy It Now feature for $12.99) ends this Sunday night at 8pm PST. Good luck and happy bidding!
