One of fall’s essential accessories is the scarf. And no wonder! From decorative silk to thick and knitted, this one piece has the power to transform a plain outfit into something poised and polished, all while keeping you cozy. Available in many different prints, fabrics and colors, there's a scarf for any and everyone!

Instead of taking your scarf off when you reach the office, this week's Cubicle Chic shows you how to incorporate the accessory into your wardrobe all day long. It's the ultimate in fashion and function.

Last month I shared I would be resurrecting a few reader favorites and Fab, Fit and Frugal is officially back. Of course "looking fly on a dime" involves fashion, but being fly is an overall lifestyle, so it's only natural for fitness to be included in that. Oh, and I also gained a few pounds this summer and can't zip up a few of my dresses. Eek! So now I'm really all about being healthy on a budget.

One of my former bad habits I occasionally fall back into involves soda and juice. I have a major sweet tooth, so these drinks make me happy! However, the additives are pretty horrible and not to mention what the sugar does to your body and skin.

So that's why I was delighted to learn about Hint Water. It's the perfect fix when you want something other than boring water, but need to ditch the soda and juice.

statement-outerwear-winter-coats-affordable-coatsWhat: Affordable, statement coats from TB DressWhy: As much as I hate to admit it, summer is a distant memory. Fall is in full swing and winter's knocking on our door. Instead of your same neutral coat, it's time to try a bold piece of outerwear. I love discovering sites that are new to me and TB Dress is full of fun, girly coats and most are less than $50. A lot of these coats are fly enough to become the focal point of your wardrobe.

September was a really great month for me. Besides releasing my thrift shopping book and celebrating my 5-year blogiversary, I had some amazing thrift store scores. I'm talking about vintage threads and designer duds for next to nothing.
Under my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge, I can only spend a total of $50 each month. How much was my September tally? Just $8. Yes, less than $10 for the 25 or so items I thrifted. Check out how I did it, my favorite picks and thrift outfits for September.
