One Great Piece
Take cover in this Altuzarra two-tone wrap-front “Falabella” coat with chic lapel collar and tie belt. Universally flattering for all shapes, the coat instantly frames the face and envelops you in sharp tailoring. It will become your go-to for everything from international flights to Northern flurries. And the simplistic styling will absolutely make this one of those forever buys.

Cuff Love
If you add only one fresh new trend to your jewelry box, it should be in the cuff family. Try these fabulous Jemma Wynne ear climbers in blackened gold and pavé diamonds, punctuated with classic gray Tahitian pearls. The scale makes the cuff trend wearable for every woman. June Simmons @ The Met, $2,940

Case in Point
Give your iPhone a new outlook for the New Year and put a pretty case on that thing. Show your playful side and make it perfectly stylish and witty with one of Kate Spade’s oh-so-clever cases. $40
Beauty
Every woman needs more than one lipstick in her bag, and you’ll never go wrong with Chanel. I’m a major fan of its Levres Scintillantes, which come in a rhapsody of glossamer hues that are never sticky. Wear them alone for a light lip glossing or layer over lipstick for dramatic effect. Macy’s, $29.50
