We've seen preppy, peppy argyle before, but it's Fall's moody argyle that Claudia Schiffer's sporting that has my full attention at the moment. With a dim color palette, this look is just a little on the darker side — and so Fall-appropriate. Try the classic pattern in deeper shades of purple, blue, forest green, and black for a more serious approach to the prep-school staple. Read more
Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member CaraWilkerson from the Su Casa group: This tiny chair was perfect for my good pal's little bun in the oven, but was definitely in need of a little flair. On to the game plan. With a little sanding, priming, painting, argyle-ing, and sealing this chair was prepped for the soon-to-be sweetest little boy on the planet. Want to see the finished product?

As long as the Pre-Fall goodies keep coming, we're going to keep sharing. This time, we have collections from Gucci, Prada, and Miu Miu. I like how Miuccia Prada experimented with texture in both of her collections. The Miu Miu line offered more whimsical pieces while Prada stuck to luxurious sophistication. For Gucci, Frida Giannini stunned me with slick, British intention. I'm in lust with the Read more
I'm not much of a prepster, but I've always appreciated the graphic goodness of argyle. The diamond checkerboard pattern has a unique three-dimensional quality that's simply eye-catching. But, don't get any ideas: I won't be sporting an argyle sweater vest any time soon. I'd certainly integrate the Lunar Lounge Argyle Midcentury Shelving Unit into my apartment, though! The multifunctional storage Read more

Argyle isn't just for socks anymore. Lately, this classic, preppy diamond pattern has been showing up in the most unexpected places, from shoes to arm warmers and even a tube top. Something about taking argyle out of the sock and sweater-vest context suddenly makes this potentially stodgy fabric look very funky and fun. Here are some of my favorite argyle finds. Michael Kors Argyle Tube Top, Read more
