The cold weather is upon us, and that means it is sweater time! The fall/winter 2013/2014 runways were ripe with chunky and funky cable knit sweaters for the cool weather season. Cable knit sweaters are being shown in every style imaginable from classic fit with long sleeves to short sleeved to asymmetrical to everything in between! This is not the season for a frumpy, body hiding sweater. Cable knit sweaters are flattering for winter 2014 and will definitely show off your personal style. Love that!

Cable knit sweaters for winter 2014 are being shown in timeless neutrals, black, autumn hues, bright colors and metallic shades. This is definitely a trend for every color palette! Since cable knit sweaters are also a classic, cold weather style, this is a great season to stock up on the styles you love. When shopping for a cable knit sweater for winter 2014, look for a color you can wear year after year. Investment colors include every shade of brown, tan, cream, white, black, navy and shades of red, blue, green and purple. If you are feeling more daring and do not mind a one-season sweater, look for multi-colored knits or bright and unexpected colors such as fuchsia and sunshine yellow.

This winter 2014 season, you can wear cable knit sweaters with more than just denim, khaki’s and corduroy. Cable knit sweaters look amazing with pencil skirts for the office or lunch, flirty ballet skirts, leather skirts, leather pants, lace skirts, lace pants, brocade bottoms and sequins skirts! Winter 2014 is all bout mixing unexpected textures, so go ahead and wear a cable knit sweater with a formal sequin skirt and boots. It will look fresh and modern for winter 2014 😉 Love that!

I found a few fabulous cable knit sweaters around the web and assembled into the shopping widget below. Hope you love them! Happy shopping, stay warm, and stay fabulous 😉

iFABBO held their first social media conference in San Francisco on October 12, 2013. This amazing conference featured panelists who discussed the business of blogging which included monetization, social media strategies and the future of blogging. The conference also introduced beauty and fashion brands to local bloggers. We had the opportunity to check out beauty products and apparel in person while speaking with brand representatives who could answer our questions and offer product samples for review.

Of course the day was not just about business! It was amazing to meet other local beauty and fashion bloggers as well as reconnect with bloggers whom I have met in the past both in-person and online. I loved making new friends while learning more about the business and future of blogging!

If you have a beauty, style or fashion blog and you are not part of iFABBO, please check them out! iFABBO is a fabulous organization which can help you navigate the ever-changing blogosphere. To learn more please visit ifabbo.com.
