While many people apply polish to avoid biting their nails, I’m the other way around: my biggest motivation to stop picking, biting, and fidgeting was the dream of perfectly shaped long nails. The type that Mad Men’s Betty Draper wears, nail expert Sophy Robson obsesses over, and that designers, such as Emanuel Ungaro, have brought to the runway: oval- or almond-shaped and long! However, the conundrum with longer nails is that they really stand out when painted in bright or dark colours. Sure, taupes and beiges are on trend, but sometimes a girl just needs a pop of colour. Enter this week’s Nail Corner: two versions of the crescent moon manicure. Made popular by Ruffian in Fall 2010, this is an easy twist on the ever-popular moon manicure—it leaves the base of your nail bare and looks more like a reverse French tip than a half-moon.

The eccentric American artist Mark Rothko changed the art world in the ’40s and ’50s with his abstract expressionist art. His signature style of rectangles in fields of colour has had a major impact on the colour-blocking trend that dominated the runways this past spring and continues to be seen everywhere for fall. With the recent Canadian premiere of Red, a Tony Award–winning play that lets us in on the life of the artist, here’s our guide on how to become a walking piece of Rothko art.

Baby, it’s cold outside. And we mean really cold. Not that scenic kind of “snow globe” cold, where everyone goes ice-skating wearing cable knit sweaters and sips gaily on hot chocolate, like in the Old Navy commercials. Rather, it’s that kind of cold where people curse under their breath when they first step outside, and take a cab to otherwise walkable destinations, spiking their hot chocolates on the sly as a means to survive the day.

Sadly, this kind of cold causes many of us to abandon all concepts style. “Oh? You don’t like this oversized puffer?” In that same vein, a fashion-friend tweeted this week that he was “disregarding trends, [and] embracing turtlenecks.”

From tangelo orange to indigo blue, the season’s coolest clique of colours is rainbow bright in a variety of unexpected coats, sweaters, and tunics.
