As we enjoy this Indian summer, we’re still finding it difficult to think about colder weather wear. But a fall chill is welcome and the winter is inevitable, so shopping now before your size sells out seems like the smart thing to do. Replacing boots yearly is usually necessary – rain, sleet and snow don’t exactly nurture them with tender care. With that said, here are 10 pairs of boots you can buy now to enjoy until Spring showers change the seasons again.

Chloé Colorful Cape Must-Have

Jessica Lapidos — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 13:49:18 +0000

The most playful piece on the Chloé runway yesterday is a building block of colors transformed into a blanket cape. Wrap it, twist it, throw it, sleep it, it will bend to your will. Through a sea of snakeskin, the fleecy quality of the rich hues makes a giddy statement. Hannah MacGibbon has mastered the cape; it seems to be a Chloé signature. This one might just be their best yet.

TRENDSPARK: Men In Color-blocking

Kirby Marzec — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 00:43:38 +0000

As dictated by Raf Simons in Thomas Lohr’s spread for GQ Style Germany #16 Fall 2009, color-blocking isn’t just for the ladies! I didn’t think color-blocking would be flattering, let alone masculine, on the guys, but by the looks of these incredible Simons pieces, I’m liking the looks of it! Keep your eyes peeled for the color-blocked suits, because I can see these bad boys hitting mass market sooner rather than later!

Thanks Coute Que Coute!

The Art Of Color-Blocking

Kirby Marzec — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 21:56:45 +0000

One thing that certainly does not come naturally to designers is color-blocking. You can’t simply wake up in the morning, grab some random fabric and say “hey, i’m gonna make a color-blocked dress!” No friends, there are rules:

1) Three is the magic number

2) Don’t be afraid to clash

3) Keep colors in the same family

4) Be loud and proud

5) Keep it simple
