The September issue of Anthropologie’s catalog arrived in my mailbox today and I was immediately drawn to this cape. Love, love, love the autumn hues and the lines on this plaid cape-jacket. The three-quarter sleeves make it a wonderfully transitional piece, allowing you to wear anything from a tank to short sleeves to long sleeves underneath. I am so ready for Fall weather and seeing this lovely cape put me even more in the mood for crisp weather and Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

My favorite, favorite pajama pants are sold at Anthropologie. I have yet to find more comfortable fabrics and more whimsical patterns. I love the wide smoked waist-band (most without ties to fuss with) on most all Antho’s PJ pants. It’s an annual tradition that Mom buys me a new pair each October for my Birthday and I always look forward to picking out a new pair! Though there are several cute patterns currently at Anthro, my current fav is the Dreaming in Color Sleep Pants ($68).

Gap Body’s Striped Boyfriend Lounge Shirt ($29.50) is super cute and practical. Simply slip on a pair of leggings underneath it for a quick morning trip to market.  I’d easily wear this year-round. (And if anyone reading this is looking for a last-minute Christmas gift for me, this would be perfect! Hint, hint!)

Betsey Johnson infuses the same playful designs and patterns into her sleepwear collection as she does into her dresses! How fun is this pair of Betsey’s Layla Rose Flannel PJ’s ($65)?! They can’t help but make you happy!

The ruched leg on this super-soft Woven Sleep Pant by Victoria’s Secret ($34) is both fashionable and practical. The ruching allows the length of the pant to adjust from cropped to full-length. Comes in 4 cute colors and patterns.

1) For the culinary chic in your life, this adorable Recipe book ($28 at anthropologie.com)  is a perfect gift! The pages are color coded for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert, are lined for writing down new recipes and include slotted corners for tucking in old favorites.

2) How feminine are these pretty, ruffled Chiffon-trim gloves in Sugar plum ($29.50 at Banana Republic)?

3) This Soiree Pearl Bracelet in Black (other colors available, too!) never fails to be a crowd-pleaser. I love wearing mine stacked with other bracelets and bangles, dressed up or down. Because this bracelet is stretchy, it is comfortable to wear and fits most all wrist sizes. It’s one of those gifts that looks much more expensive than it actually is. (**Today, 12/09, I’m giving away any color Soiree Pearl Bracelet for free with a $50 or more Stella & Dot order! Email me at lauren@editbylauren.com for details!)

4) If she looks good in hats, this is the gift for her! What a sweet  and stylish little cap this Treacy Brown Hat is for these cold winter months! ($20 at LuLus.com)

5) Unique stationary never fails to make a lovely gift. It’s one of those things that we rarely purchase for ourselves, but is so fun to receive! I love these unique Peacock Cards on etsy.com ($12 for 8).
