Ponchos are making an appearance again this fall in the form of chunky knits. Think handmade, warm and cozy. Many are a fusion of sweater and poncho that button up the front, making them easier to layer. You’ll see hoods, pockets and zippers as added features as well. Look for all wool styles made with thick yarns and lots of texture in the knitted design. Or try a lighter poncho on for size; it is more like a wrap and much more fluid than chunkier styles. Go for a neutral like gray or brown that can be paired with a variety of items in your wardrobe.

On the chunkier side, from Haute Hippie is the Chunky Wool Poncho (top left, $495.00 at Nordstrom.com) with classic overtones and a cable-knit design. It has a full zip-front closure, pockets to keep your hands warm and a slouchy hood at the back. From Stella McCartney is a pricey and luxe Zip-Front Boucle Poncho (top right, $1,685 at Neiman Marcus) with oversized buttons button as an accent on the cape sleeves. The poncho is an Alpaca/linen/polyamide/wool blend and made in Italy. Helmut Lang has also done a version, all in a minimalist style of course! Helmut Lang Knit Poncho (bottom right, $260 at Saks.com) is an alpaca/merino/polyamide blend and is super soft as well as warm. This poncho also features a generous hood. From Elizabeth and James is the Olivia Poncho, (bottom left, $545 at Shopbop.com) made of moleskin this is the perfect piece for layering. Pair with a cozy cashmere turtleneck and jeans for a luxe weekend casual look.

Mally Roncal

October 29 marked the launch date of celebrity makeup artist  Mally Roncal’s new fragrance, Mally.

Mally Roncal, makeup artist to celebrities like Heidi Klum, is expanding the Mally Beauty collection into the world of fragrance with this modern floral citrus scent with a slight tropical note. The Sampaguita flower is the national flower of the Philippines, and its scent is similar to jasmine, yet slightly more tropical and exotic. The name translates to “I promise you,” and it symbolizes purity, strength, devotion, dedication, and fidelity.

Says Mally, “Beauty isn’t just about color cosmetics and covering up a blemish. I wanted to create a scent that embodies who I
am…something fresh and feminine that makes you feel joyful and invigorated.” Other top notes in the fragrance include Mandarin, red currant, bamboo, and palm leaf. The middle notes are composed of freesia, jasmine, muguet, and peony, and underlying it all are the base notes of peach, coconut, sandalwood, and musk. Try Mally, makeup artist Mally Roncal’s new fragrance, and you’ll feel and smell as beautiful as you look.

“I received a sample of Mally from QVC and this scent will bring to mind adjectives like “sweet,” “fresh,” and “pretty.” In a beautifully designed bottle, Mally has top notes based on the Filipino Sampaguita flower, from Mally’s Philippine home. This new exciting fragrance makes you feel Mally’s infectious warmth, love, happiness, and hopeful energy.“
