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 😉

Scotch Soda is a new store which has recently opened at my favorite place to shop; Santana Row! The shop offers both men’s and women’s clothing which I like to describe as “cutting-edge casual.” I fell in love with so many pieces while I was shopping in the store for the first time. There was a beautiful leather tee-shirt, a fabulous pair of space print jeans and a cozy burgundy sweater which were calling my name. Although those three pieces remain on my wish list, I did purchase this casual top featured in the photos above. I love the sparkling green stripes and the soft fabric. If you are local to the Bay Area, definitely take some time to check out the new Scotch Soda store at Santana Row. I would love to hear what you think!

One of my favorite things about October is that designers and brands release fabulous pink products which benefit breast cancer research. These beautiful sunglasses from BCBG encourage “Courage” and sales from the glasses directly benefit the search for a cure. Love that!

What are some of your favorite products, which you have found this month, that benefit breast cancer awareness and/or research?
