Always the optimist, I get super excited when November rolls around. We're on the verge of Winter and the holidays are right around the corner. That may elicit anxiety for some but don't fret my pet — November will be chock full of Fab Gift Guides, online sale alerts and fabulous fashions to help keep our heads on straight and our chins up high. Let's begin the harvest with this month's desideratum...

• I am a Primp junkie when the days get shorter and colder so this Primp
  Ribbon Extra Long Crew Thermal ($92) is the perfect addition to my collection.
• How can this skirt already be on sale?! I'll let this flirty fun Tracy Reese Print Silk Full Skirt (on sale for $159, originally $375) speak for itself.
• When I was in LA for LA fashion week this Anya Hindmarch Lautner patent leather bag ($945) stopped me in my tracks on Robertson Blvd. It is even more brilliant in person.
• How adorable would this Tibi Cap Sleeve Wool Shift Dress ($334) be with a beret and peep toe pumps for Thanksgiving dinner?
• These puppies are already in the mail on their way to Fab! New Years shoes? Check! Theory Mirrored Crisscross Slingback Sandals (on sale for $199, originally $345).
