It's funny the way colour works;  One minute, designers are claiming that black is out, that bright colour is in. The next hot minute, brights are shunned and black is totally back. I mean, colour? That was sooo last season. While black & white (along with of-the-moment grey, navy and pink) are currently reigning supreme in fashion's inner circles, I'm really feeling bold, bright blue, too. How about you?

Let me preface this post by saying that I don't have a problem with lumberjacks. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with small towns (if you saw where I live, you'd understand that small doesn't even begin to describe it.) But between bearded axe-wielding dudes, Highland flings and buttoned-up cowboys in dad jeans, plaid can quickly become the punchline of a bad fashion joke.

If you haven't noticed, plaid is everywhere right now. The print was one of the most favoured on the Fall '13 runways of NY, Milan and yes, even Paris, with dresses, skirts and suits covered in très chic tartans of every stripe and colour. Between the mix-and-match plaids at Céline and the 90's grunge vibe at Dries Van Noten, plaid is the print to pick up this season, whether super chilled out for a Saturday afternoon or primped up and polished for a day at the office.

Seriously, this girl is stunning. Perfect skin, grounded attitude, mad skills with the bow & arrow. I adore her, and I adore this femme fatale November '13 cover and feature for Harper's Bazaar UK. That is all. Oh wait, except for this:

 

Top It Off

Take a look at your winter coat situation and let's be honest here. Is last year's topper hanging on by a thread? Are you finally ready to commit to something a little better? The current sale at Banana Republic (which ends tonight, btw) gives you 40% off your purchase. Might I suggest one of these 5 lovely toppers? The cold weather is coming so if you order today, it will arrive at your doorstep - not a torn lining, worn-out shoulder or pilled pocket in sight, just in time for Thanksgiving.

My poor darling 5 year-old is home sick (still). Online shopping is my mini break right now. She likes to do it with me, which probably explains why so many pink items are currently on order. Sigh...

Enter code BRGOLD40 at the check-out. Is it bad that I know that by heart?
