Why Not PINK Friday??

Someone please explain to me WHY!!?? anyone would put themselves through staying up all night circling parking lots, standing in line in the bitter cold, getting stomped on and smooshed by crowds just to be a part of Black Friday??  No wonder they call it Black Friday--it is miserable out there.  Attention Shoppers!!!  Trust me...There will be LOTS of Bargains AFTER Black Friday!  If you do really insist on venturing out there then at least skip the Black in Black Friday and go do it in PINK!

Not to be a Pink Grinch but the Holidays can get zooey enough so do it differently this year--Breathe and take it in yummy bites---Step 1 to Black Friday recovery...put your Bunny Slippers on, curl up, and make it Pink Friday!!  YES!  You need PINK this time of year...Shop Pink, Give Pink, Wrap Pink!!

I believe that PINK can get you through anything...even the Holidays!!  So let's Paint it Pink...

Here are some ideas to get you to Think Pink this season!!  Have a Very Happy Pink Friday!!

Elementary Dear Watson-A Great CAPE-r!

Ralph Lauren

The new BBC/Masterpiece series Sherlock  is a Veddy 21st century rendition of the famous sleuth and his sidekick Dr. Watson and there is not a cape, cloak, or pipe in view. Yet, the thought of Sherlock Holmes will always muster up a foggy night, a horse drawn carriage and a good Cape-r!

 Though I do not have the stature to carry off most capes I have always loved the look-could be because one of my fashion design heroines is the great Bonnie Cashin who brought the cape and cloak to icon status along with her signature toggles and Coach bags.

Capes, Cloaks and Capelets are in every collection this year for day, weekend, evening...the perfect accent for any time of day. Many are reminiscent of the great Bonnie Cashin with classic styling while others are all about the drama!

 The definition of a cape can range from a full buttoned or single button  cloak/wrap to a shoulder shrug...some have a deep dolman some of have peek holes or deep slits for hands and some are just a grand rectangle that wraps you up.  Of course I have my eye on the Knitwear styles in Capes---Be sure to Visit Winding Yarn for great Cape/Capelets patterns and Run for the Needles!
