Key Takeaways: Consistent with designer Yeohlee Teng’s philosophy of dressing, this show was all about simplicty of color (basics neutrals, plus white and black), pared-down style (buttonless jackets and fuss-free wraps) and versatile textures (wool and silk).
Color Palette: A range of browns, plus black, cream and (surprisingly enough for fall) bright white.
Silhouettes: A high-waisted skirt held up by suspenders, jackets tied at the waist, 3/4 length wool coats, shawls and neck warmers.
Accessories Report: Long, loosely-worn skinny ties; shawls to be wrapped around the neck and shoulders; bare eyes and tawny cheeks; absolutely no jewelry.
What’s Wearable: An exquisite-looking camel-colored cowl-neck wool coat.
What’s Not Wearable: A white shirt, black pants, black tie, full-length black-and-white cape and slicked-back hair felt a bit too Dracula for us.

Interior designer Thomas O’Brien, founder of the SoHo’s Aero Studios in New York, has a new line exclusively for Target. If you’re not familiar with O’Brien, he’s famous for creating modern furniture with classic touches. We love the smart, space-saving furniture, his soft yet contemporary china, his neutral-happy home furnishings and, of course, the price.

We’re huge fans of Restoration Hardware, having fallen in love years ago with their signature Silver Sage paint.
So in keeping with our Home Shopping mini-series, we shopped Restoration Hardware to bring to you the best home goods the store has to offer. We chose items that allow you to give your home a makeover not by changing its entire wardrobe, but rather by adding some choice accessories.
Presenting our top five "Quick Fix for the Holidays" picks:
A great-looking throw will spruce up any ho-hum couch. The Isabella throw is only available in Maize (the yellow color shown on the left), but it’s discounted from an original price of $129. We like the garnet too, but the maize color works beautifully with a chocolate brown.
This bar tool set is perfect for parties, and it exudes a classiness reminiscent of 1930s Hollywood.
Distort reality with these simply fascinating mirrors. Small (19") is $129, Medium (23") is $329, and Large (32") is $429.
Great as a personal scrapbook + room divider, all in one! If you want something smaller scale, try the Memo Board instead.
The striped pillow cover is $35, but the other two (medallion and damask) check in at $40. Pillow inserts are sold for $14.

For us at Style Intelligence Report, the holiday season is a time to celebrate…and a time to decorate.
As we’re hosting a few holiday parties, we thought it was a good time to scout out some new additions to the apartment. So over the next couple of weeks, we’re going to take a few “research” shopping trips to bring you the Best not only in fashion, but also in home decor!
Today, however, we have our rundown of the cutest and coolest home stuff at Anthropologie. See for yourself…
Just for the record, we loved coral Before it was a hot commodity among interior decorators.
