Cool Fridge

Why not have your fridge look as cool on the outside as the temperature is on the inside? These appliances from Big Chill are a serious style investment, but one you’ll never be sorry you made.

3 Stores, 1 Style

Since I don’t frequent all three stores all the time, I get curious as to the similarities in style between Old Navy, Gap and Banana Republic. Here’s a coat comparison. I must admit, I am partial to the wool trench, and not just because it’s the most expensive (as my husband would claim), but because it is more detailed in design.

Belted Wool-Blend Coat - oldnavy.com - $79.50

Double-Placket Belted Coat - gap.com - $78 (on sale)

Wool Trenchcoat - bananarepublic.com - $250

Peacock Blue for You

Jewel tones are popular this fall and I heard an interesting reason why. A trendy clothing store owner said that whenever the economy is bad, designers pump up the colors to rich, jewel tones to make the consumer feel wealthier. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but I’m enjoying the trend.

My favorite color I’ve seen so far is peacock blue. It’s not turquoise, teal, or aquamarine. This shade of blue is regal without being royal. No matter what your budget, here are a few ways to incorporate this color into your fall wardrobe.

Faceted-Bead Drop Earrings - OldNavy.com - $9.50

Tretorn Skerry Vinter Sh - Piperlime.com - $60

Chiffon Flower Bobby Pin - J.Crew - $9.50

Mossimo Green Zoe Hobo - Target - $28.99
