If you're looking for the perfect transitional piece of outerwear to take you from summer into fall, look no further than the cape. This style showed up on many of the fall 2011 runways, and the latest versions are really wearable for everyday - toss one over a button-down shirt and relaxed jeans for the weekend (see J. Crew), pair with a school-girl chic striped sweater and frock for work (DKNY) or rock a dramatic cape with black leather leggings and edgy boots for a night out (Rag & Bone).

I've been really busy with wedding planning so I asked my sister Chantal to review some of the latest whitening products from Colgate. After reading her review, I'm wishing I kept these samples for myself. —BB



Written by Chantal B.
Colgate was kind enough to send us some of their latest toothpaste and their newest toothbrush from their new Optic White line for testing and review. I love tooth whitening products, I'm kind of a white teeth junkie. But, lucky for them I had become lazy in the past couple of months and had started to notice my pearly whites looking a little more dingy then pearly. I had been eyeballing some of the whiting strips at Target just days before my Colgate package arrived, and I'm glad I saved my presidents (don't worry Target, I'll be back when the Missoni collection arrives…and probably twelve times before that).

According to Twitter, you are coveting leopard print mocs, loafers and other animalistic slip-on shoes for fall. Jimmy Choo's take on this trend will cost you $495, while $89 will get you a dashing look for less. See if you can spot the real from the steal by clicking either image below.
