Because of the recession, the organization of trends has gone to hell. In my latest InStyle, they list the trends, and literally, right next to each other are The Trend: Country and The Trend: City. We also have a page full of how bright coats are in, but if our eyes wander to the right of the spread, there is a chunk talking about how your good ol’ camel coat is still a wonderful classic. I guess they want to make their readers feel good about using what they have, which I am all for, but it is still frustrating to zero in on anything.

So, I apologize, my loves, but as far as this fall winter season goes, I am winging it, taking my own path, and seeing wherever it leads me. I will update you along the way.
