It’s A Plaid World Out There. Plaid was everywhere on the runways for Fall 2010. Not just a hipster look anymore, plaid is transcending into a very wearable and eye-catching uniform. We love how Proenza Schouler gets a bit Alice in Wonderland inspired and keeps the dress cropped and paired with sheer thigh-highs. Layer on the boyfriend cardi and a great pair of wellies and you are set! Bibico’s collections are produced in Nepal and India through fair trade where each item is handcrafted.

Puff Me Up. The puffy jacket is the only resource to stay warm when the temperatures drop- but it doesn’t have to mean that you lose your shape or style. In fact, this season the puffy has had a revival. Wear it cropped or sinch it in with a belt for a modern take.

This jacket from Kuyichi is a great cold weather option with chic style. Made from recycled plastic bottles.
