People StyleWatch: Fall 2014 Trends

STYLE MUST HAVES

Trend	Yay or Nay	Point of View
Plaid	Nay	Too much of a schoolgirl vibe.  Plus I try to be very careful with patterns.
Chunky Knits	Nay	Not a fan of the shapeless look.  Plus in all practicality, LA has no use for those.
Bold Colors	Yay	A must regardless of the season.  I have been rotating yellow, orange and pink even in my workout wear.
Cutout Heels	Yay	Just bought a pair. Or two?
Dark Florals	Yay or Nay	Depends on the item and the pattern. But definitely a miss in shoes and pants.
Robe Coats	Nay	Again, not a fan of shapeless, untailored look - not fabulous enough for the fabulous LA City.
Lug Sole Booties	Yay	I have owned a pair for years.
Shift Dresses	Yay	When did they go out of style?
Statement Earrings	Nay	Can't have anything detracting from the beauty of my face.

Basic Salad Formula

Today I made another bucket of salad.  I will never understand why all the restaurants in America call that plate of grass they serve "a salad".  I must be foreign, but the definition of salad for me holds a lot more than a handful of non-nutritious iceberg lettuce and an occasional slice of cucumber and/or a grape tomato.
