The cold weather is upon us, and that means it is sweater time! The fall/winter 2013/2014 runways were ripe with chunky and funky cable knit sweaters for the cool weather season. Cable knit sweaters are being shown in every style imaginable from classic fit with long sleeves to short sleeved to asymmetrical to everything in between! This is not the season for a frumpy, body hiding sweater. Cable knit sweaters are flattering for winter 2014 and will definitely show off your personal style. Love that!

Cable knit sweaters for winter 2014 are being shown in timeless neutrals, black, autumn hues, bright colors and metallic shades. This is definitely a trend for every color palette! Since cable knit sweaters are also a classic, cold weather style, this is a great season to stock up on the styles you love. When shopping for a cable knit sweater for winter 2014, look for a color you can wear year after year. Investment colors include every shade of brown, tan, cream, white, black, navy and shades of red, blue, green and purple. If you are feeling more daring and do not mind a one-season sweater, look for multi-colored knits or bright and unexpected colors such as fuchsia and sunshine yellow.

This winter 2014 season, you can wear cable knit sweaters with more than just denim, khaki’s and corduroy. Cable knit sweaters look amazing with pencil skirts for the office or lunch, flirty ballet skirts, leather skirts, leather pants, lace skirts, lace pants, brocade bottoms and sequins skirts! Winter 2014 is all bout mixing unexpected textures, so go ahead and wear a cable knit sweater with a formal sequin skirt and boots. It will look fresh and modern for winter 2014 😉 Love that!

I found a few fabulous cable knit sweaters around the web and assembled into the shopping widget below. Hope you love them! Happy shopping, stay warm, and stay fabulous 😉


Laura Mercier Hand Cream Sampler Holiday Gift Set review

The Holidays are fast approaching and that means we need to start thinking about the perfect gifts for our loved ones! I always enjoy giving gifts which I feel the recipient would love. Since most women on this planet love hand cream, I will be giving the gift of soft and nourished hands to a few of my loved ones this Holiday season. Shhh, don’t tell them-it’s a surprise! 🙂

My favorite hand cream is by Laura Mercier. I have been using Laura Mercier’s “Crème Brulee” hand cream for close to ten years now, and my hands always thank me for it. Laura Mercier’s hand cream not only nourishes and repairs dry skin, it creates a barrier against the elements in order to help protect your hands from future abuse. Love that!

Before I do any housework, I always apply Laura Mercier’s hand cream. It keeps my hands safe from the effects of housecleaning chemicals which may seep into my gloves; and somehow Comet and water always find their way inside my gloves! Grrr. Thankfully Laura Mercier’s hand cream protects my hands from the chemicals and keeps them soft and free from dry skin. Love it!

If you have never tried Laura Mercier’s hand cream, or if you are already a fan like me, the hand cream sampler is the perfect gift to give to yourself this holiday season! Laura Mercier’s Hand Cream Sampler contains four purse sized hand cream’s in beautiful scents! The set contains “Crème de Pistache,” “Fresh Fig Honey,” “Almond Coconut Milk” and my favorite, “Crème Brulee!”

Laura Mercier’s Hand Cream Sampler is priced at a mere $28 (THIS IS A GREAT DEAL!!!) and can be found online here and here.
