Tory Burch Patent Eddie Ballet Flat, $178
toryburch.com
Liz: Hello Lanvin for over $300 less?!?!?!? This is la perfect ballet flat. We are huge Tory fans (and we love her logo) but we don't love a logo (any logo) on our toes. We are so thankful that she has created this perfect simple shoe. The fit is perfection - super comfy with the rubber sole and almost feels padded. The elastic keeps the shoe from falling off without digging into your foot.
Jane: My friend Taylor told me about these and I couldn't run to the TB store fast enough (where I purchased the purple in about 5 minutes)! I am in LOVE with all the colors but obviously I am a little more in love with the purple. It feels really fresh, modern and happy with still being neutral. Will even look cute with black opaque tights come winter.

Kara Ross for Tory Burch Evil Eye Metal Cuff with Blue and White Resin and Hematite, $350
kararossny.com
Kara Ross: "Cuffs are an easy way to update any look this fall, and I particularly love the one I did for Tory Burch’s Fall 2010 collection. It was inspired by an evil eye cuff I created for my fine jewelry collection a few years ago."
Jane: Worship is not a strong enough word for my feelings about this cuff! Genius, perfection, die-over, want, need can't stop staring at... I love love love it. OB-SESSED!

Kendra Scott Nyla Earring, $95
kendrascott.com
Liz: How much fun is it to create your own jewelry online and know that no one else will have the same color combo that you do! It's like my children's computer coloring game but for grown ups. I love the idea of these earrings done in all blues with maybe some white mother of pearl thrown in backed in gold (you even get to select gold or silver!). Seriously, I haven't had this much fun since I played with color forms. Warning: Before you start, make sure you don't have anything else to do today!
Jane: For this winter I think I'll make a pair that has some of the pinks paired with the pyrite and the smoky quartz. The combinations are endless. Even doing them all just in one color would be great. Go ahead and play. And we chose this Nyla earring but Kendra offers tons of cute earrings, necklaces and even a ring so don't feel limited to this shape. They are all great. PS: if you want to recieve a $20 coupon you can simply sign up for Kendra's emails. Just putting it out there.

Barneys New York Lock Tote , $695
barneys.com
Liz: There is something about the unexpected juxtaposition of the natural hemp piped with heavy black leather that is beyond chic and makes this bag the perfect all-year-round bag. The crisp lines make this bag feel modern and fresh. I do love the army green/brown leather combo as well.
Jane: I can't carry a bag big enough to fit all my daily needs from work to workout to evenings out and I love a bag that functions for all 3. Our mother taught us to never carry a shopping bag as an extra bag especially into a restaurant! (I mean never ever meet her in a restaurant with a shopping bag in hand... and I mean NEVER.) The size and structured shape means I can fit everything in it for my day and it will still look elegant (unlike a hobo that can look slouchy and unfinished).

Joie Solitaire Boots, $625
piperlime.com
Liz: The first item Jane and I buy each season are boots as they can completely transform any outfit. We never want that perfect boot to be sold out! The slim lines + supple chocolate brown leather + 3" stacked heel + over-the-knee = as good as it gets.
Jane: Wear these with a long lean skirt/dress and you are Ali McGraw in Love Story. Wear these with skinny jeans tucked in and you are Kate Moss. Wear these with a short, plaid, pleated mini and you are Blake Lively. However you wear them you can't go wrong. Pricey but worth it.

Talbots Chunky Heel Pumps, $149.00
talbots.com
Liz: Simply the best daytime-nightime shoe. The chunky heel and wide toe-base make them comfy even if they are 3 1/2" high. They remind me of the "miss tick" style Louboutins which I live in, but at a fraction of the price. Wear these with pants - long or short or dresses/skirts - long or short...they go with absolutely everything. And they are a fantastic and appropriate choice for the office.
Jane: I love every color, the black and nude are dreamy but I am particularly partial to the navy. It is such a deep, rich color that it almost looks black but is just a touch chicer and more unexpected. Tip: if you do get navy do not get stuck on wearing these with only navy. Navy goes with absolutely every color. Truly!

Tory Burch Modern Square With Metal Temple Sunglasses , $156
toryburch.com
TORY BURCH: “I carry a pair of oversized sunglasses in my bag year-round. They are timeless, ultra-chic and pull together any look.”
Liz and Jane: We love the 70's feel of these glasses with the oversized "tortoise" frames with graduated lenses. But the blue ones are pretty fab! BONUS: For a limited time, TORYBURCH.COM is offering free shipping and free returns on all eyewear purchases.

Tiger's Eye Woven Bead "Cleopatra" 16" Necklace, $34.95
hsn.com
Liz: Truth is, I kind of live for Tiger's Eye. It is so 1970s (back then I thought it was as cool and classy as it got!). So they can call this necklace "Cleopatra" but to me this is pure '70s chic. I will mix it this fall with a brown or camel top but I also love it with black or for right now with white.
Jane: C'mon Liz, who doesn't love Tiger's Eye?? I will wear it to create a new dramatic neckline on a crew neck top or I will use the extender to lengthen it and wear it as longer chic beads with a button front blouse, shirt dress or over a turtle neck.

Fendi Studded Leather Baguette, $995
bergdorfgoodman.com
Liz: Yes, we know this is an expensive bag but it is FENDI and it's kind of perfect. It's classic, and somehow even with the stud details manages to seem so refined and timeless.
Jane: It's big enough to carry during the day, yet would also be elegant for evening. TIP: the shoulder strap is detachable turning it into a fantastic little clutch. So it's really a 2-fer!

Stuart Weitzman Peep-Toe Patent Wedge in Navy, ON SALE: $103.00
bergdorfgoodman.com
Liz: This is the perfect everywhere/everyday/every-night shoe. Conservative enough for work, low enough heel and wedge to wear all day, dressy enough for evening, and perfect for running around a city (AKA NYC). I also worship that it is navy as opposed to black. But forget that fact and wear it as if it IS black (just look a touch chicer)!
Jane: An open toe wedge is the perfect transitional shoe as I like to avoid tights/boots/closed toe shoes as long as possible. Pair these with pants of any style and skirts/dresses of any length. What I am trying to say is these go with everything! I love the navy but if you are feeling bold, the flame is fun but definitely not as versatile. These run small so size a half size up.
