Tocca candles are well known and loved, especially Stella, the irresistible blood orange flavor. But did you realize the brand also sells two clothing lines -- RTW for women, and Bambini for children? They have a very Anthropologie vibe, with natural fibers and pretty, precise details.

The clothes are mainly dresses, which mostly remind us of an updated Mad Men wardrobe. And even though there are fewer than 30 items from which to choose, there is surprisingly good variety, with style for almost every shape.

Oh, and they're pricey, putting them category of casual/dressy party outfit you wear to a daytime time wedding where you're going to see an ex-boyfriend and his new fiancé.

Pretty dresses galore in the gallery.

We remember being in school and getting in trouble for wearing hats. "But, sir," we'd politely say to the principal, "it's not a baseball cap -- it's a fashion statement." Plus we were having a bad hair day.

Principals don't always care about fashion statements, or bad hair days, for that matter. But we do, and we've spent the last several years making up for all those day we couldn't wear hats in school by wearing them everywhere else.

Belts can do so much more than just help hold your pants up. They can bring colors and patterns to an outfit. They can create a waist in a dress or long shirt where there was previously shapelessness. They can take an ensemble from ho-hum to Hell, Yeah!

Yep, this week we are sticking with the empire waistline because we're pretty sure that the New Year's Resolution "diet" hasn't quite kicked in yet for you, and there's no reason you have to look a little less than impressive just because your waistline is slow to catch up (or down, as the case may be).

Anthropologie's Thisbe Dress is perfect for this January day. The dress is made of a navy blue wool jersey material with a charmeuse trim. The deep V-neckline plunges to waistline that releases into a cascade of pleats and falls to a sweet 36". The sleeves are the most charming part of the dress, slightly puffed, gathered, and ending in a tiny ruffle.

The dress is $328.

I'd might as well come right out and confess that I love and am obsessed with Anthropologie.com. Their perfect mix of trendy and vintage-inspired clothing, accessories, and household wares gets me every time.

My latest obsession at Anthropologie is this couch. Dubbed the "Milo Chesterfield", the black and white couch is upholstered in a canvas Marimekko print, made with a cotton and wood construction, and features cute, vintage-y details such as fabric-covered buttons placed perfectly in the center of little tufted squares.

With it's classic, English curved back and crisp, contemporary fabrication, the couch would be a perfect compliment to nearly any home. If you're a modern decorator, the couch will blend right in with your trendy style, and if you prefer a more reserved look, the couch could serve as a really fun accent piece. And that's why I always fall for Anthropologie - they design for everyone!

The couch can be found at (can you guess?) Anthropologie.com, and is priced at $3998.

Since it is now officially sweater weather, you can either throw a sweater on over your little dress, or wear a sweater dress.

In black, this little sweater dress from Anthropologie for $168 is a perfect basic piece for a wardrobe. I have always found the draping of cowl necks to be sexy, somewhat slimming, and of course, comfortable. Without any accessories, the dress is easily a daytime dress (but really, who doesn't wear accessories?!?!), but with a few sparkly things added, the dress can go straight to the cocktail hour. I mean, that neckline is just screaming for a necklace!

In yesterday's New York Times Style section, Ellen Tien noted the revival of a recurring fashion trend: underwear as outerwear. But instead of, say, wearing a camisole as a top (so last fall!) or sporting a bustier under a jacket (so Madonna in 1989), this look takes a nightgown and makes it into a sundress.

This will sound a little risque at first -- especially if when you think of "nightgown" you envision Joan Collins in Dynasty. However, the chemise nighties at stores like Anthropologie could plausibly pass as regular summer sundresses. My favorite is the Orion nightgown, which has mother of pearl buttons on the placket of the empire-waisted "dress". In a chocolate brown cotton voile, this nightgown-turned-daygown could easily make the transition into fall when matched with a pair of boots and a feminine cardigan.
