i've packed a change of clothes, and its time to move on.

Everyone will tell you that I have a thing for bright colors. Thus, you could only imagine my delight when I spotted bright splashes of cherry red, electric yellow, barbie pink, and lush cerulean all strewn across the fall runways.

That's right dear readers, color is no longer confined to the stuffy and humid months of June, July and August. No, color has decided that it would like to be apart of the rest of the year as well. So say goodbye to that charcoal grey military jacket of yours - and say hello to this Louis Vuitton overcoat in a yummy fire-engine red. Plus, the last thing we need in this economic crisis is to look dark and dreary for half the year. Remember and repeat: Color = Optimism!

For those of you, like me, who lack the funds to purchase such runway numbers, I'm sure that some time within the next four months you will find a lonely juicy apple green peacoat abandoned at a thrift store. After all, this is why they show fall collections in spring!
