Let me preface this post by saying that I don't have a problem with lumberjacks. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with small towns (if you saw where I live, you'd understand that small doesn't even begin to describe it.) But between bearded axe-wielding dudes, Highland flings and buttoned-up cowboys in dad jeans, plaid can quickly become the punchline of a bad fashion joke.

If you haven't noticed, plaid is everywhere right now. The print was one of the most favoured on the Fall '13 runways of NY, Milan and yes, even Paris, with dresses, skirts and suits covered in très chic tartans of every stripe and colour. Between the mix-and-match plaids at Céline and the 90's grunge vibe at Dries Van Noten, plaid is the print to pick up this season, whether super chilled out for a Saturday afternoon or primped up and polished for a day at the office.

Love plaid but not sure how to wear it? Here are 3 chic ways to get all tartaned up this fall...

Want, Want, Want: 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target

All photos courtesy Target 

Things have been a little crazy here lately. Between deadlines, croupy kids, and my new show with iVillage.ca on CMT (more on that soon!), it's enough to drive any blogette to NET-A-PORTER. Luckily, these pics from the new 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target Collection landed in my inbox last week, just in time to appease my stressed-out need to power shop. Phillip Lim is kind of the It guy right now, with the consistently best accessory collections and a banging wardrobe to match.  This newest collab is going to require some serious shopping commitment on your part - I'm not saying you'll need to tent it, exactly, but you'll need to arrive pretty early for any shot at the handbags.

The collection ranges from $19.99 to $299.99 (peanuts for anything Lim) and will be available starting (and possibly ending) Sept 15th at ALL Canadian Target locations. In the meantime, you can start making your shopping list below. Can't wait to hear which pieces you score.

Happy Friday, beauties! Hope you enjoy every minute of these last summer weekends (sniff!)
