1. WOLFORD STOCKINGS THAT SCREAM SEX
On September nights that aren’t quite warm enough to do the bare legged thing we rely on the expensive, but worth the investment, Wolford stockings. The UK brand, available at Holts, is pricey but will have you power strutting the red carpet this year and next – cause they don’t tear, run or transcend into yarn ball dull tights that hang four inches lower than your crotch. Although skanked up holey tights are trendy, let’s reserve that look for when we want to blend in like some starving art student.
Holt Renfrew – approx $50

2. H&M Army Jacket
Nothing says authority like a crisp uniform. Don-t be mistaken for a party crasher, even if you are one, go for a look that exudes confidence.
H&M – $49.95

3. Kimberly Ovitz black dress with ribcage like slicing on the derriere
HOT – bring out the S&M seductress for dark films that make you feel all f*cked up inside and evoke sizzling debate over copious amounts of red wine.
Holt Renfrew – $640.00

Yeah, so we might have to skip this item on the wish list and instead take some hefty scissors to an overused American Apparel number – a girl can dream.

4. Jeremy Scott Gasoline Pump Dress
Feel like standing out in a party? This dress makes conversation real easy and gives instant ‘wow’ factor.
