Scarves are a stylist’s secret weapon: the instant “dress-up” factor to the simplest outfit imaginable. Slip this animal-print one (the new neutral) over a plain shirt, a long-sleeve tee or a blouse to add cool-girl chic to anything.

Gift good gift, is always what I say. (Especially if someone else is dealing with all those turkey innards.) The LEAST you can do is arrive with something…fabulous. Wine tags and cute placemats work as great offerings for anyone; a deliciously-baby-soft mohair cardigan and a dazzling statement necklace is what YOU wear to be the star at the table.

Something about a statement-making clutch makes it the ideal conversation starter when you first arrive at any party. This one—in vibrant emerald with dazzling embellishments—is the perfect accompaniment to the simplest LBD. Get it now before the party season gets into full swing, and you’re scrambling to find that perfect party bag to carry all the essentials.
