November has arrived, and although in some places the hot and cold weather are playing a game of cat and mouse, there is a distinct nip in the air and bite in the breeze. We're probably still weeks away from the bitter cold- not yet white, but definitely grey.

As a nod to Fashionista V and her love of H&M, I encourage all fashionistas to check out the Grey Collection for women. Knits, sweats and wools (great for layering), seem to be the bulk of the pieces, but I must say the leather jacket and shoes are very cool staples for the transitioning winter wardrobe. Not for the super overly cute girly girl work closet, but something she can definitely change into for fun, or darker, grey moments.

My suggestion is to grab any lighter weight fabrics offered at your nearest H&M location before months' end and slip them into your day to day mix. The more costly jackets and boots can be placed on your wish list for the holiday so you gradually have the best of the Grey world.
