Style for the Seasons
The only reason we look forward to fall is the return of our winter wardrobe (hello cashmere, old friend!).
This year, we turned to fashion blogger, sometimes stylist, and always stylish Lisa Kisber of LKisStyle to edit our fall closet. Here are her tips for your must-haves for Fall 2011.
1. Skinny is over! Lisa recommends a fuller silhouette featuring wide-legged pants and maxi length skirt for a '70s style vibe.
2. Mix up textures with sequins, lace, feathers and fur (feel free to go faux).
3. Channel your inner ice princess with cool neutrals like nude, peach and white.
4. Little black dress? Boring. Stand out from the cocktail crowd in a little blue dress instead.
5. Accent with accessories in vibrant jewel tones fit for a queen, like rich purple, blazing red, royal blue and emerald green.

Sharp Dressed Woman
There are just some articles of clothing that men do not understand, like capris, clogs and the worst offender, harem pants. Of course, if men had their druthers, they’d have us all wandering around like the supporting cast in a ZZ Top video.
Taking the art of dressing for oneself to a higher level is Leandra Medine of The Man Repeller. With recent posts demonstrating the art of the bolo bow tie, the science of mixing prints, and the steps to go from man-getter to man-repeller, this stylish blog will ensure that you have your weekends to yourself. Unless you find a cool guy who can appreciate your personal style. And who doesn’t have a foot-long beard.

Cue The Laugh Track
With so many websites devoted to Very Serious Topics like fashion, celeb gossip and food, sometimes we just want to click on a laugh or two to lighten our workday.
When our daily grind calls for a giggle we turn to Hyperbole and a Half by blogger/illustrator Allie Brosh. We completely identified with her tale of how Kenny Loggins ruined Christmas and can no longer say “a lot” without thinking about the Alot. But her scientific comparison of the merits of cake vs. pie had us rolling in the aisles (which pleased our boss to no end, we’re sure).NSFW? Not Sane For Work.

WHERE IN THE WORLD?
We may be tad jealous that our jet-set publisher Tara Parker Tait is traipsing through Asia right now, but she’s been kind enough to fill us in our her adventures via our new Editors’ Diary. Complete with candid pictures, insider Tokyo shopping tips and Hong Kong foodie favourites, you’ll be dialing your travel agent before lunch.
