Simple or Swank: Red Sweater Vests

I'm a sucker for a lil man in a sweater vest - especially during the holidays. If you're searching for the perfect look for your festive photo or something for your toddler to wear to parties, you can't go wrong with a red cable knit vest. There is no shame in shelling out dough for the memories, but you don't have to spend an arm and a leg to score this classic style.

Simple: At just under $17, you won't be devastated if your guy's gravy and mashed potatoes end up all over the vest from Chaps.
Swank: With a little polo player on his chest, your young man will look sophisticated in the Ralph Lauren Sweater Vest ($45). Well, that is, before he puts peas up his nose.

Hot Maternity Looks For Fall

Mama's sporting a round front, but that doesn't mean she can't enjoy being a fashionista. Though packing an extra 40 pounds may make leather leggings a tad less appealing, she can sport other fab items to keep her sassy wits about her. The know-it-all of fashion, Rachel Zoe, chatted it up with Regis and Kelly and pointed out some of Fall's hottest trends. Here's what mums-to-be can sport with ease.

Daring mamas can go for comfort in a pair of shiny leggings. A bit more practical and easily adjustable to an expectant look is the bulky sweater. If sweaters aren't your cup of tea, show off that beauteous belly with an open tuxedo jacket or vest. Top the look off with a large statement bag, bootie heels, and a smashing cocktail ring. 'Cause mommy should be celebrating herself as well as that growing baby inside her tummy!

School may be back in session, but pregnant mommies are also looking to make the grade. Juggling their children's schedules, work and household commitments, expectant mothers still hope to be stylish until babe makes their debut. Check out these options that work at home or on the school yard.

Create an 80's redux by taking a basic pair of leggings, pairing them with a knit tunic and topping the outfit off with a long, open cardigan.
Incorporate pattern by starting with a pair of straight leg jeans, adding a plaid blouse and finishing the look with a long sweater vest that will keep the belly warm.
Show off the bump in a fitted sweater dress that is accented with a wide-belt just above the belly. A pair of flat riding boots will complete the look and make it a bit more casual.

Trendtotting: Invest in a Vest

The chilly weather has started to show itself in certain parts of the country. Out here in San Francisco, you can hardly make it through a day without some sort of vest, sweater, jacket or all of the above. Vests are a fabulous option for the between Fall months as they offer coziness and comfort without too much heat.

I find young lads always look darling in a vest. Easily matched up with a tee, a long sleeved polo, a sweater and jeans or cords, they are the perfect accessory to keep their wee bodies warm. They are especially handy as they lack the long sleeves that often get dragged through mud and other messes.

Wondering what to dress your little darlings in for all of those family shindigs this holiday season? Cookie Magazine shared some fab ideas with Al Roker on the Today Show. Here's a quick rundown on the apparel pointers.

Tartan (a type of plaid) is a classic look that never gets old.
Navy and forest green corduroy or velvet pieces for the ladies and a tan suit for the young gents will have everyone looking winter fabulous.
If you have your own childhood vintage pieces, here's a chance to use them. Pair a funky print skirt with a fun top for her and an argyle sweater vest with cords for him.
Channel Leni Klum and let your baby girl don a flowy skirt, hip tights, and metallic shoes for a Boho look. And for the Boho boy, let him wear his favorite jeans with a tweed jacket and a colorful tee.
For the soiree where jeans and tees won't do, dress your dolls up in satin dresses and black tuxedos.

Cookie also made some excellent suggestions on how to wear these items after the holidays have passed. Such a smart Cookie!
