Olivia Munn looked absolutely adorable as she was out and about in NYC last week. We love how she manages to pull off two of winter’s trends to perfection, with a long jersey maxi dress and kitschy snowflake cardigan. A perfect outfit for hanging around town: comfortable, warm, and chic. Of course, the large celebrity-undercover sunnies are optional. Try these pieces for a similar style:

Designers like Zac Posen, Thakoon, and Wes Gordon have turned up the notch on playful for spring! If you relate to a more free-spirited sense of style, a key item to have in your wardrobe this season is the jumpsuit. Zac Posen is using eccentric fun colors mixing it up with feather embellishments, while Wes Gordon plays with light grays and Thakoon with sheer metallic prints that are comfortable and easy to wear.

Fear of flattened hair aside, few accessories can top the undeniable panache of a hat. Millinery is an art, after all. Whether you prefer a simple headpiece or an elaborate work à la Stephen Jones, fall 2011 has something for you. Here’s a round up of the most popular shapes to perch on your noggin. Anyone would be out of their head to resist Oscar de la Renta’s so-soft-you-must-touch-them Russian caps. They’re the perfect way to add more than a touch of glamor to your look.

Whether it’s in Casablanca or worn on the red carpet by Burberry face Emma Watson, trenches can’t be missed. Resistant to the elements and easy to throw on over jeans and cocktail dresses alike, they make the perfect wardrobe staple nearly 365 days a year. Now that the season is changing (fingers crossed), these toppers are warm enough to resist the residual winter frost and also suitable for oncoming, unpredictable spring showers. With more designers than ever offering their take—from studded to satin—all you have to do is take your pick.

Who: Blake Lively
What: Chanel’s private dinner at La Grenouille
Wear: Chanel spring 2009 haute couture dress, Chanel Mademoiselle bag, and Christian Louboutin Lolo 69 pumps
Blake Lively might not be able to attend Chanel’s upcoming fall 2011 show, but the face of Chanel Mademoiselle handbags knows how to represent her brand. Always a step ahead, the Gossip Girl actress broke out spring’s whites, wearing a pristine Chanel haute couture organza frock with ruffled detailing (see it on the runway). Topped off with a classic quilted Chanel bag and emerald earrings, the look popped perfectly. Uncle Karl must be so proud.

Something about the magic of the runway always makes somewhat tired trends look new and shiny. But fall 2011 took this literally, as metallic, lustrous fabrics stole the spotlight once more. Of course, brands didn’t just throw on some sequins and call it a day. Sheen was taken to a whole new level, with brands reinventing exactly what it means to sparkle.Burberry Prorsum’s not-so-subtle blue satin stole the show, injecting demure retro cuts with electricity.
