After having lived in LA now for almost 16 years, I have to admit that I love it, especially the sunshine, mild temps, and the fact that George Clooney, Kobe, and I all live in the same place (not quite, but sort of). One thing I do miss about NY, though, aside from the pizza, is the true change of seasons from summer into brilliant fall — the colors, the brisk air, the rosy cheeks.

And, let’s face it, the real need to wear a fabulous coat.
