Jigsaw London on Fillmore Street in San Francisco held a fabulous shopping event on November 7, 2013 which helped kick off the holiday shopping season. The store was jam-packed with customers shopping for the holidays; as well as themselves!

I was impressed with the delightful treats and champagne which were placed at the front of the store among beautiful clothing and accessories. Not only was I surrounded by a festive atmosphere, I was surrounded by beautiful clothes! Even the décor was amazing. I fell in love with everything hanging on the wall!

Jigsaw London has a beautiful collection filled with Holiday ensembles, dressy attire and daytime looks. I feel in the love with the three dresses shown in the photo above. Of course, one of those dresses came home with me! Which dress do you think I picked? Stay tuned to find out which dress I decided to keep!

If you are local to the Bay Area, please take some time to stop by Jigsaw London San Francisco located at 2121 Fillmore Street. If not, they have a fabulous website at Jigsaw-London.com.

Happy Friday! I am so happy casual Friday exists! There is something about the last day of the workweek where I always feel slightly tired yet extremely happy that the weekend is almost here. This type of mood almost always calls for jeans! Of course in the fall and winter months, it always calls for a cozy sweater too! I love this sweater by Trouve. It offers a classic look with a twist! Notice the asymmetrical zipper on the side. I love how the zipper adds a subtle touch which makes an otherwise timeless sweater unusual and fresh. I can see myself living in this sweater all season long.

Do you have a favorite, cozy and casual item this fall you are looking forward to wearing throughout the season? If so, please share!

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 😉
