Keep the chill out with this sweet baby-blue poncho with fringe trim by Susana Monaco ($141; at Eye of the Needle, Palm Beach, Fla., 561-833-4533). A cozy choice, it's the ultimate layering piece for winter: Wear it over your favorite T-shirt or snuggle up in it on a snowy afternoon. It's the ideal weight for staying warm on airplanes too.
