Fall has officially arrived. There is a bit of a nip in the air, and those who know me know that I do not like to be cold, so this weekend I’ll be whipping out my sweater collection. Just the thought of curling up next to a fire in an over-sized cable knit warms my heart. I love the look of a chunky cardigan for fall. There are so many ways to rock it- jeggings and some riding boots, jeans and a tailored shirt, or belt it. Regardless of how you sport your chunky cardigan, you will want to grab a few for this season. Here are the chunky cardis that made it onto Kiki’s List:

The Boys of Fall.
I have been told as of late that my blog is all sugar and spice and all things nice by my friends who have little boys. So ladies, here is your dose of snips and snails and puppy dog tails.
I am constantly hearing how difficult it is to find stylish clothes for little boys. While shopping for boys is a foreign concept to me, I decided to take that challenge and run with it. This one’s for the boys- below are the pieces for fall that made it onto Kiki’s List.

Take Another Looksie: Talbots.
When I think of Talbots, I think of Mom. Neets, god rest her soul, was a realtor… and she dressed like a stereotypical realtor. Think Annette Benning in American Beauty. (Disclaimer: I know MANY stylish realtors… so please save your e-mails..)
I have so many memories of Mom pulling into the garage, and keeping her various red bags in the trunk until Dad left the house, then she would carry them in and we’d all hear about it when the AMX bill arrived in the mail. Learned behavior? Probably. Mike accused me just the other day of “hiding” my Home Goods bags (which I wasn’t, I actually had to put them in the laundry room so that I could get a towel for one of the contractors that was at the house) but I have been known to hide a J. Crew bag or two.
I digress. Talbots has come a long way in the last few years, and just released a new fall line that almost made my eyes pop out of my head. Classic Glamour at affordable prices. Another thing that I will say about Talbots is that their pieces are very well made. So pick a few items that you will want to keep forever. Here are the items that made it onto Kiki’s List:

Jeggings.
It’s where jeans meets leggings.. and they are all the rage this fall. With the feature on riding boots yesterday, I can’t help but recommend that you pair them with jeggings.
The thing that excites me most about jeggings this fall is that I don’t have to bunch up my jeans to tuck them in my boots. It will give you a much cleaner look. The other fantastic feature of jeggings is that they are made of a mixture of spandex and denim, so they give you better coverage than leggings, but you don’t have to worry about the plumber’s crack that jeans create when you sit down. Because they are still made of some denim material, all of the rules of normal leggings go out the window. You don’t necessarily have to cover your bum, but if your are…ummm… “curvy” like me, you may want to.
