I think it’s safe to say that Tory Burch has become one of my top 5 favorite go-to designers, because I can depend on her mix of classic, chic and comfortable pieces. Each season I look forward to viewing what new Tory Burch items will end up in my closet next! Her holiday 2008/2009 collection is full of covetable looks and new twists on classic faves.

Inspired by Truman Capote‘s Black and White Ball in 1966, the collection consists of a classic black, white and grey palette offset with vivid pops of color like fuchsia, violet and apple green. And as always, Tory Burch’s clothing and accessories incorporate a luxe factor, with opulent materials like satin, crocodile, patent leather and snakeskin, and details like beading, multi-toned trims and the ‘T’ emblem logo plate.

The Grania Cocktail Dress, $495 is holiday party-perfect with its slim black satin silhouette and jet black jeweled neckline. Pair it up with the Brylyn Bootie ($450), an edgy, satin cutout bootie, for a unique look, or step out in the now iconic Reva Flat, in a limited edition satin with a crystal-encrusted logo. The Lilac Metallic Snake Medium Cosmetic Bag ($95) is a sleek, chic companion to any party look, in a vibrant violet hue and luxe snake skin.

For a great daytime look, pair the two-toned wool Rhiannon Cardigan with a pair of jeans and a must-have bag. The metallic trend comes back in a big way in the distressed platinum leather Bombe T-Tote ($495). Or tote the apple green, patent Anna satchel ($425).
