I am very close to giving Ms Furstenberg a gold medal for making absolutely fabulous, yet work-wearable clothes.

The same goes for this uber-cute Diane von Furstenberg 'Valka' Jacquard Knit Jacket, which successfully incorporates femininity with the so trendy military look that runways were full of for this fall and winter season. I love the details: the belted collar, and asymmetrical cuffs, while the vertical stripes and the diagonal striped side patches will make you look slimmer and accentuate your waist.

Available at Nordstrom for $395
