With life getting faster and faster, do you ever feel like just getting away from it all? No, I don't mean hauling your SUV to Muskoka for a weekend at your cottage on Lake Joe, though that does sound awfully nice. I mean, really getting away from it all - no Blackberries, no ceramic flat-iron, no Facebook. Just you, a porch swing and a wheat sheaf in your teeth. Ahhh...there is something so refreshingly simple about the country. Now you know that Karl Lagerfeld has never set foot on a farm but somehow, he and many other 'city folk' designers were seriously inspired by pastoral chic this year. If you want to take a little romp in the fashion hay yourself, take your cue from the D&G runway and pair white with rich brown accents. I love the laid-back feel of it all and the best thing about being country chic without having to move to a farm? You can still have your Starbucks. Phew! Real Life Runway Tip: Once the thermostat moves up a few notches, feel free to ditch the jeans and you'll have a whole new look. Gap also carries some long, flowy white dresses that would be perfect for a carefree roll down any hill à la Laura Ingalls. Didn't you just love that?! If you're under 25, just google it, then find your closest hill.
