Your Beloved Old Sweater Doesn't Have To Go

-
The layering is very much 'in' this fall and winter! Bulk it up, ladies...
Every one of us has that one favorite sweater that we just can't seem to get rid of. It might be old and stretched out and with a few holes here and there - but it's still the only sweater we seem to be wanting to wear. We can't even imagine not having it in our wardrobe.

And even, when we want to look very stylish, we always find something to go with our old sweater.

Well, don't get rid of it. As a matter of fact - wear it more and expect some people to ask you, where you got this stylish sweater…
What's 'IN' right now are the knits that look like they've been stretched out in the back, with longer backs and shorter fronts, as well as sweaters that have holes in all kinds of weird locations.

Zara knitwear: a new look to look old and...uneven
Just last weekend, I came across a very cool dark gray sweater at Urban Outfitters that was slashed all over…

Or take Zara, for example, their Fall knitwear collection features a bunch of sweaters that look very 'stretched out', even - old, as your old beloved sweaters…

You can either put some patches on the elbows of your sweater, and that would only make it even more stylish…

 And, if you grew up in the Eastern Europe and/or Russia, finally you don't have to excuse yourself from all the layering you did back in the days during the cold times. The last thing that look was considered to be as fashionable. But now - now it is fashionable! As a matter of fact, the more you put on yourself - [minding that you still look thin enough...] - the better. The 'bulking up' is so in, so, layer up this fall and winter, and don't forget to tweet a photo to your friends back home in Europe, saying that the 'cabbage' look is very 'in' right now. Beat it, dear ladies...

Stay warm and...chunky, that's all I'm saying...

Small Town Profile: The Texan Style

  It's been my fifth year in a row spending Christmas in College Station, Texas - a town that I would have never thought I'd end up going to more than I do to any other places in the world. [How many times I wished my parents settled in places like Paris, London, Florence, Split, Berlin, or at least - in San Francisco and/or Washington, DC - the places that I'd be more than happy to visit them at more often!] So, it's a true battle when the holidays or vacation times come - to go visit my parents in Texas or to go to Paris, Amsterdam or Tokyo - or places I've never visited before? - a battle that I often loose in favor of my parents, and, thus - in favor of the little Texan town, College Station...

The spring is almost here, which means - soon-to-be-packed and stored away winter boots are in much need to be replaced with the next sexy-thing on the shoe markets.

These should be the ultimate shoes for both a stylish day and night out on a city. Here's what I call statement shoes perfect for many reasons, including for the reasons appreciate a good piece of art, nature and sexiness in the details:
