Some ghosts just have it good. Instead of the run-down shack or the colonial cabin, these ghosts have chosen (or not) to dwell in an exorbitant afterlife — complete with several acres, vintage decor, and hidden pathways to haunt. There are plenty of alleged haunted houses and mansions in the country to pick from, but I've rounded up 10 mansions, whose size, art and artifacts, and historical significance make it the place to frequent, living or not.

Fall 2011 Breakdown: How to Channel the Swinging '60s

Among all the polished looks we saw on the Fall runways, one of our favorite major trends was '60s-era elegance; subtle yet chic, it has proven to be a lasting look for the season.
'60s-Inspired Trend For Fall

Among all the polished looks we saw on the Fall runways, one of our favorite major trends was '60s-era elegance; subtle yet chic, it has proven to be a lasting look for the season. Whether you go for a Mad Men-esque, sexy secretary look, or want to channel the vibrant party girl pizzazz of Twiggy and Edie Sedgwick, it's an easy vibe to emanate. For the ultimate in go-go girl glamour, just check out Karlie Kloss for Vogue Japan — a short, sexy silhouette, bold patterns, and a wide-brimmed hat are easy ways to achieve this look. Here are our key takeaways:

  • Just because it's Fall, doesn't mean you need to shy away from color. Tuck a plain white blouse into a pink and orange tweed skirt, or liven up a black dress with a pair of bright red Mary Janes.
  • It's all about the silhouette: work a knee-length pencil skirt or ankle-grazing trouser for the office, and show some skin come nightfall in a short, sexy shift dress.
  • Don't go overboard; you don't want to look like you're wearing a costume. Pick one retro-feeling piece, and work it into your otherwise modern ensemble. A pussy-bow blouse looks floaty and chic with a pair of high-waisted jeans, and you can never go wrong with a simple A-line coat and skinnies.

Skirts For Fall 2011

Having filled our closet with a season's worth of amazing pants, we're turning our attention to skirts. With feminine but easy-to-wear silhouettes on the brain, we have our eye out for cozy maxis; curve-hugging pencil skirts to take us to the office; leather; and a few surprises, like an embellished mini for date night. We narrowed down the endless options to our favorite styles at a variety of prices. Before you click to shop, keep in mind these styling tips:

  • Think of your maxi skirt as an alternative to pants and jeans this season. Find one in a great fit and versatile fabric (jersey is ideal) that you can live in all season, topped with jackets and vests, and finished with your favorite boots and booties.
  • Invest in a leather skirt — leather was a major trend for Fall 2011. Plus, it's an easy way to go day to night, weekday to weekend all season.
  • Look for skirts with special details, like draping, a fresh print, or silky finish, and let the skirt become your statement piece.
