StylishSarah Spies Best Fall Buys For Your BodyFrom Bergdorfs to Saks to Bloomingdales and beyond, here are the top picks to match your body and budgetClient #1Body Shape: The Lollipop
This client’s biggest fashion challenge was finding clothing that fit her large chest and her tiny waist, without pulling in one area while drowning the other. Tops Majestic T-Shirt | $106These stretchy, slightly-fancier-than-a-t-shirt shells come in turtlenecks, crew necks and tanks, and are your top pick for layering under a jacket or sweater.  Akris Punto Black Square Neck, 3/4th Sleeve Top | $295With its perfect form fit, this basic layering piece will be a forever favorite.  Max Mara Long-Sleeve Shirt | $285Both high quality and affordable, this classic black, long-sleeve shirt with necktie hugs in all the right places.  Hugo Boss Button-Up | $195Buttons-ups are tough for a large chest, but Hugo Boss’ genius new take features dual side zips, which perfectly contour both the chest and waist. Get it in both white and black and you’ll never look back!  Gerard Darel Silk Button-Ups | White | $240Silk button-ups are also hard to fit, but I’ve found two: First, there are the classic and scarf-tie blouses from Gerard Darel, a French designer newly featured at Bloomingdales. Then there are Elie Tahari’s options in black and white, perfect for pairing with a skirt and layering under a cardigan or jacket.  Helmut Lang, Belted Cardigan | $395Pair this staple with tanks or t-shirts and jeans, then hook it to the side for a more sophisticated vibe—either way, it’s a great travel basic. Outerwear Rachel Zoe’s Double-Breasted Tuxedo Blazer | $425This option fits the Lollipop perfectly, showing off her enviable curves, without pulling at the chest or gaping at the waist. Pants AG Jeans | $425Jeans are tricky for most, but for a Lollipop this high-waisted pair in dark blue, with a straight leg is a snap.  Piazza Sempione Pants | $595These flattering pants have just enough stretch to make them both work-appropriate and covetable for a night out. Dresses Rachel Roy Scoopneck Sheath | $398Lollipops should stay away from extra chest fabric. Take this beautiful blue Rachel Roy number as an example. With its knee-high hem, it gets it right.  Armani Black Sheath | $925Investment is key when it comes to staples, and this is the ultimate black sheath—perfect for day, night, weddings, cocktail parties and even the office. And if your wardrobe is mostly black, grey, navy and brown, do like my client did and top it with Diane von Furstenberg’s fabulous cherry red belted coat.  Diane von Furstenberg | $745The Perfect Winter Coat-Stylish & Warm ( hard to find). This Cherry Red DVF Coat is an Easy Way to Add a Pop of Color To Your Darker Winter Wardrobe Basics. Tie the Belt Tightly To Give Yourself A Defined Waist.  French Connection | $188For a more affordable option, try French Connection’s v-neck, long-sleeve maxi sweater dress, which is perfectly paired with tights for day and glammed up with heels and jewelry at night. Client #2Body Shape: The Skittle
Flattering The Skittle is all about balance, accentuating the top while minimizing the bottom. TopsAkris Punto Square-Neck Shell | $295This is the ideal shell for everyone who has broad shoulders and a small chest, which both my client and I possess. Layer it under a blazer and pair with jeans or black pants for an office-ready look  Akris sweater shell | $295This is the ideal shell for everyone who has broad shoulders and a small chest, which both my client and I possess. Layer it under a blazer and pair with jeans or black pants for an office-ready look  Max Mara Turtleneck | $290This winter basic has just enough stretch and cotton to hug the body perfectly, but not so much jersey that it sticks.   Elie Tahari (white) | Black | $248Outerwear Rachel Zoe Tuxedo Dress | $425Rachel Zoe’s ¾-length blazer looks killer on the Skittle Pear too, creating a waist for those who have wider hips, like most women do. Leather JacketsA good leather jacket is hard to find for anyone over the age of 30, which makes Rick Owens’ designs, at $2,000 to $2,600, the ultimate investment—as long as you keep it classic. For a lower price point, try Vince or Veda’s butter soft jackets, which hit at the waist. Go single-breasted with a medium-size lapel and avoid trendy details, like contrast trim or mixed fabrics. Pants J Brand High-Rise Skinny Jeans | $196Women with hips tend to fear the skinny jeans. But once I got my client in these in black, she never looked back. The straight leg relaxes slightly from the knee, balancing the body and extending the leg. And finally, for all body types, there are Accessories! Christian Louboutin Black Prorata Pumps | $735This seasonless pump with round toe and slight platform will not only perfectly complete any look but it’s actually comfortable.  Cornelia Guest Handbags $145The perfect handbags are hard to come by, but here they are courtesy of Cornelia Guest. The designer’s new collection includes woven leather totes, shoulder strap and across-the-body styles that are the ultimate for women on the go—and at only $145, my client bought three: black, brown and burgundy!

The Wedgetto: Women's Shoe Wishes Come True
If you’re among the legions of women “in fashion” who wobble in heels, your days of silent shame have passed. I have discovered the supreme stylish shoe solution: the Wedgetto. A hybrid wedge-stiletto, the wedgetto solves the age-old dilemma wherein wedges’ walkability is trumped by a stiletto’s in-your-face sex appeal. Christian Louboutin’s “Morphing” is the perfect wedgettto. Sleek and simple, it fuses the feminine practicality of the wedge with the smoking sexiness of a stiletto. The hottest seasonless staple, it proves once again that Louboutin wields the magic footwear wand.
