Our Top Picks for the Week of October 22, 2018

How Alicia does leopard, Elizabeth as a dress, Meaghan's newest, favorite-est bangle, Amy breaks out beyond blue, Angela's latest hair product obsession, and Celeste's boot for the practical fashionista, all in this week's Top Picks.Elizabeth: It is hard to believe but we are unpacking holiday! I love the Quinn dress by Xirena even more now that it's in the store. It is literally me as a dress. (Available at The Hive, $249)Meaghan: If you have met me, you have probably noticed that I wear bangles every single day. I have two that I never remove (handmade by Tim) and I have a series of other bangles that I switch on and off, depending on my mood. This is my newest favorite and I love it for its subtle diamond sparkle and understated design. This is a perfect item to wish list for the holidays or -- better yet -- treat yourself! (Available at Alx&Co., $1,425, featuring 1/4 ctw diamonds and available in 14k yellow, white, or rose gold)Amy: A new colorway from one of our favorite pillow makers, Walter G, has just hit our shelves. We are salivating over this beautiful blush color they call Guava. It’s a lovely addition to our sea of blue pillows. Sometimes you just need to change things up a bit! (Available at Red Barn Mercantile, $160)Angela: When I read: “I am pretty much obsessed with it and can’t wait to use it again. I am literally running my fingers through my crazy soft hair as I write this.”—Byrdie, Beauty Editor, I knew I had to try it. And, yes...obsessed. Use DPHue Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse on the days you don't want to do a full wash. Just a nice cleansing rinse that leaves your hair manageable and silky, no conditioner necessary. You, too, will become obsessed. (Available at Bellacara, $35)Celeste: It is that time of year again! Cool temps bring cool rain so a warm, waterproof boot is a definite necessity. This sophisticated and chic boot by Valdini is a must for every woman whether she is a fashionista or completely practical. It is so gorgeous the boot will wear well in the boardroom as well as mixing it up street style. (Available at Kiskadee, $178)Alicia: Leopard is all the rage this year. I have been selecting this print carefully for myself in order not to overdo, the downfall of many a stylish woman! Last week while I was styling TSALT’s weekly photo shoot, I tried on this adorable Intasia Granny Cardi from Smythe and the next thing you know…well, it’s now part of my permanent Smythe collection. 😉 There’s a still a small and medium available. I plan on wearing it over a simple black dress, with my leather A-line skirt, and with burgundy velvet pants from last year! (Available at TSALT, $498)
