If you are a magazine fiend (as I am) you have undoubtedly noticed the overwhelming abundance of all that is grey for fall with the played out “grey is the new black” subtitle. I am so over it... I don’t know about you, but I am craving color…dark rich color for fall. The timing for eggplant's emergence could not have been more impeccable. Sweaters, blouses, t-shirts and even shoes are popping up in this non-eggressive shade. Here are a few ideas on how to wear this egguberant color: Pair a blouse with some dark denim jeans and silver belt for an eggseptional look Surpass everyone’s eggspectations by wearing an embellished eggplant top Eggsude confidence with plaid eggplant pants or pencil skirt.

In light of the Simpson's movie, the clever marketing peeps have thought up this lovely spread for Harper's Bazaar . Marge and her sisters, Patty and Selma Bouvier, (seen here with Linda Evangelista) are all rocking the now very July-August 2007 Gap Shirtdress.

Pretty brights punch what could be a "there is no way you are Sarah Jessica Parker aka Carrie from SATC" blah outfit. I like the fact that she did not match her shoes with her bag. That would be trying too hard especially when you have such a specific color such as patent bright yellow and fushia. The color combination, in my opinion, is a perfect balance. Enjoy!

The short sleeve hoodie tones down what could be a borderline too simple or stuffy outfit. It completes the look perfectly. I am starting to believe that it may be a summer essential, espcially in Montreal where you wake up, its 10 degrees and when you go home from work its 28 degrees: gotta love it! I guess we have all mastered the art of layering! . Book This Look At: . Printed Skirt- Smart Set $45.00 . Tank Top- H&M $9.90 . Hoodie- Smart Set $30.00 . Flip Flops- Old Navy $5.50 .

The little black dress can take a step back. This very minute, it is about the little red dress. Both Mandy Moore and Jessica Alba rocked the look at the MTV Movie Awards .

Keep this simple equation in mind when doing your summer shopping: Great Pair of Leggings + Simple tops, tunics of dressing x some up to the minute inexpensive accessories= A very happy, very comfortable shopping guru with mad cash left to spend on yummy strawberry cheesecake flavored ice cream (I just can't get enough of it!) or whatever other vice you may have :) Free Counter The following text will not be seen after you upload your website, please keep it in order to retain your counter functionality online blackjack

Kerry looks great here. The short dress shows off her legs. The shoes are understated and yet complete the outfit seeing as the dress does most of the work. This goes to show you that even a shapeless dress (ie the summer 07 piece) can be sexy if you wear it the right way. The clutch is key. She does not have a purse strap on her shoulder that will take away form the shape of the garment (Kerry must have a fantastic stylist). Oh and before I forget: heels and flowing hair are a prerequisite.

If you have not heard of Tory Burch , well now you should. She is this pretty neat designer that has the fahhbulous & simple pieces with special touches. She has managed to combine sophistication at an affordable price (if affordable is $300 for a dress by the way). In any case, I covet her tops and her flats, I covet them deeply. Tory has managed to merchandise herself with much success and her logo is becoming more and more recognizable (see below). Along my merry strolls in any McMall, Canada, I have come across replicas of her flats. They have sprouted at Transit for $49.99 (see below) and Payless for $34.99. Do you have any idea what this means in shop talk? Tory flats cost $195.00. If you buy the Transit ones, this leaves you ($195.00-$49.99)= $145.01 of extra shopping money! So in the end, fashion theory being what it is, you just made $145.01, which you obviously have to spend as it was not planned on being saved right? With all this financial logic flowing through my v...

*The fit of the jacket at Jacob is a little tight but the color and the shape are striking. With the grey, white and denim combo she has going on, you can pretty much go buckwild with the accessories (patent leather shoes, crazy oversized bangles, or even a detailed bag- just not all at once).

There are many things in life that we don't want to be flat: our hair, the bottle of Sprite in the fridge, a tire, our voice and our butts. However, having a flat tummy, a flat stack of work on our desk, a flat iron, maybe even a perfect flat pancake is cool (am I stretching it a bit too much on the last pancake comparison?...yeah, I think I am...) But I digress. What's even cooler than all of the above (except for the pancake) is flats. Plain ballerina flats continue, somehow after 2 years, to be on an upwards trend. Cameron and Lindsay started wearing them a few years back and now everyone is rocking the Audrey circa Sabrina look. What is practical about this trend (and what Ms. Hepburn could have told us, oh I don't know, about 45 years ago) is the comfort factor. Think how simple life is now that it is fashionably acceptable to go to our own wedding in flats(be sure you have long legs and/or a flattering dress), or to a job interview...or even, dare I say, to the mall (...

Dress Zara Basics $49.00 Shoes Transit Spring "ELISOTA" $49.99 TOTAL LOOK FOR: $98.99 *Notice how this outfit does not need much to prove a point. The dress says it all.

Showing just a little. Giving them just a taste. Playing hard to get. All these strategies have been used by many of us to get what we want…am I right? Now our toes are doing it as well. It is safe to say that this season, the same can go for the trend in shoes. Granted this does go back to Christina Aguilera circa 2005, but still… Peep toes h ave bee n around for a while and yet continue to gain in popularity. They evoke the 40’s look th at d e signe r s were showing on the runway ( Chanel, Cavalli, and Prada to name a few) . They give us just a peek at what is in the shoe: pretty, p retty toes, well at least trimmed toes (please tell me you trim your toes and don’t let them grow out all long and ye llow and curly *wow, I have managed to upset my own stomach*… Wear them to w ork with tights (which is the new legging…haha… f ash ion is so all over the place I even sometimes don’t get it), pair them with your dress (remember, you have like 3 now) or your shorts from last s...
