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 😉

 Chanel Rose Moire nail polish is a late fall 2013, limited edition color release from Chanel. This beautiful nail polish is a sweet, shiny ballerina pink which is perfect for transitioning from fall into winter. Chanel Rose Moire nail polish is also a fabulous color to be worn as an alternative to classic “nude.”

Chanel Rose Moire nail polish for fall 2013 is a pretty pink which blends well with autumnal hues such as burgundy, dark green, navy, black and neutral shades. The classic pink hue does not compete with fall 2013’s prints, patterns or textures. Rose Moire by Chanel is understated and blends into the background; making it the perfect color for someone who is enjoys wearing a different color palette and/or print each and every autumn day.

As we move into winter 2014, Chanel Rose Moire nail polish will blend easily with winter’s cooler color palette. Candy colors, pastels and holiday reds are on the horizon for the winter 2014 season; as well as sparkling and metallic hues. Rose Moire by Chanel’s pastel pink nature makes the hue easy to wear with all of winter 2014’s colors; in fact, Rose Moire will also work with resort 2014! Love that!

Resort 2014 will feature a combination of soft pastels and bright colors including cobalt, orange and yellow. Rose Moire by Chanel will easily blend with all of these shades. Since Chanel Rose Moire is a classic nail polish color, it will be easy to wear as we move from 2013 into 2014. This is also a beautiful nail polish color to keep on hand as a classic hue for occasions and times when you may not feel like being trendy.

I tested Chanel Rose Moire with one base coat and two coats of color. The nail polish lasted six days before chipping. When it began to chip, it chipped quickly and needed to be repainted. The polish may have lasted longer with a top coat.

Chanel Rose Moire nail polish is limited edition and priced at $27. You can find Chanel Rose Moire nail polish online here.

One of my favorite things about October is that designers and brands release fabulous pink products which benefit breast cancer research. These beautiful sunglasses from BCBG encourage “Courage” and sales from the glasses directly benefit the search for a cure. Love that!

What are some of your favorite products, which you have found this month, that benefit breast cancer awareness and/or research?
