When we think of fashion, two things come to mind: the runaway - - and the real way.
Because when famous designers send far-out picks down the catwalk, as they often do, our goal is to bridge the gap.
Here, I offer up my best interpretations of this season's hottest items, from swim suits to pullovers and from sweaters to suits.
All these choices are wonderfully wearable, the kind of clothes that make you look up-to-the-minute but true to yourself.
Kate Mack Swimsuits These swimsuits have especially been designed for winters.
Although commonly known as an activity of summers, swimming is also enjoyed by many during the winters.
This latest style of swimsuits will let you look and shine out while swimming even in the winter season.
Available in a number of sizes and colors, this collection of swimwear includes bikinis, two-piece, one-piece, and others.
KM Pullovers As usual, sweaters will dominate the winter fashion.
This year's rule of thumb: The thicker and more textured the better.
KM's heather wool turtleneck melds a plush feel with a comfort factor that's hard to resist.
Often, chunky sweaters are of the oversize "boyfriend" variety, but this one is decidedly more fitted so it flatters the feminine figure.
Also, the wider, less constricting neck is a newer twist on the typical turtle.
KM Suits Suits hit the runway in a big way, and this tweed set from Kate Mack is a terrific take on too-trendy designs.
The salt-and-pepper pieces work together beautifully; a boxy jacket offers all-day ease and works with a variety of body types; a slim skirt keeps the profile neat and trim.
Plus, each can be worn separately for extra mileage.
