"You'll never find me in anything that's skintight. I like items that fit well and are also cozy and comfortable."

HER FALL INSPIRATION (clockwise from top): "I want Ali MacGraw's effortless late-'60s look with the straight, middle parted hair and uncomplicated clothing."

"I was really into the Rag & Bone collection. It reminds me of the vibe I get at the lake-Adirondack chic. Fair Isle feels new again."

"I love spending weekends at our lake house in Connecticut, roasting marshmallows, drinking wine. It's very casual; I'm always in my worn-in jeans and moccasins."
Time Inc. Digital Studio; Ken Whitmore; Imaxtree
Rings, $10 (set of 3)

Rings, $10 (set of 3)
"The small size of these rings makes them feel personal. Mix them with jewelry you already have and try them on your index finger."

Sunglasses, $10
"I always wear aviators. Metal frames with dark lenses look polished whether you're really dressed up or super casual."

Sweater, $41

"I can't get enough warm cardigans. I'll start by belting this over a flowy white knee-length dress. In the winter, I'll switch to jeans or tights and fitted boots."

Flats, $20
"I wear heels at the office, but I keep flats in my bag for going to and from. Leopard, a big trend this season, livens them up."

Bangles, $4 (set of 10)
