"This fall's trends are over the top, but after too many seasons of reinterpreted classics and minimal silhouettes, we're more than ready to cast aside our classics in favor of a new order. This is not the time for shrinking violets or shy wallflowers. This season, fashion favors the bold."

"Get creative with alternative display options: I’ve seen everything from clipboards or binder clips on nails, to installing a large magnetic board that lets you casually display a grid of prints with tiny magnets. Be sure they’re not valuable, since unframed prints are more likely to be damaged over time. But all art doesn’t have to be precious – have fun with it! "

DESIGN SPONGE
Travel and design guide to Portland, Oregon
"Portland is one of those cities everyone seems to have an opinion about, whether they’ve been here or not. Yes, we do have rain, but it’s less than you think. As for the hipster thing? Well, that one’s true. You’ll get glares from fellow patrons if you forget to put your biodegradable coffee cup in the compost bin, and I’ve never lived somewhere with so many options for raw dining. But Portland is heaven if you’re into camping, skiing, hiking, kayaking, snowshoeing…really anything that involves installing a Thule rack on your Subaru."

"I'm assuming you can find the Eiffel Tower without my help, and that you know a day trip to Versailles is a must if you haven't done it before. Instead, I'm taking you on a tour of my Paris. The restaurants I love, the shops I go back to again and again, the hidden little secrets that are maybe just a bit off the path."
