Winter Essentials 2012:

When black coats and neutral knits dominate, you need just a few luxe accessories to add a touch of glamour to an outfit.
Here are my picks for this winter:

Hermes scarves: can't go wrong with them

Ankle boots: great with dresses/pants. Knee high boots are so 2008

Statement jewelry: can't get enough of them

Fur: vest/scarf/coat... a functional item you can't live without

Belt: wear it over a sweater dress for a cinched in look
