Ask CF: What Should I Pack for a Cold Climate Getaway to Visit My Boyfriend? Photo Credit Welcome to the latest edition of Ask CF! Every two weeks, we select a reader fashion question and answer it here on the site. Do you have a specific fashion question for us? Scroll to the bottom of this post to learn how to send it our way! Ask CF Question Dear CF,In three weeks’ time I’m flying out to Great Lakes, IL (which, by that time, might be super cold) to attend my boyfriend’s graduation from Navy bootcamp. Our Response Dear Chillin’, Dressing in cold weather is hard enough. When packing for this trip, think about the different events you will need to attend. Because suitcases limit our wardrobes while traveling, I decided to use some of the same pieces in each look (and you could even tailor your suitcase more by only bringing one pair of booties opposed to the two types I used below).

Style Secret: The Only Spot Remover You'll Ever Need: Slaves to Fashion. Friday, 10/24/2008 at 2:37PM by Tracey Lomrantz Lester Email meContributing style editor.

Bargain-hunting ninja, hot-pink enthusiast, Michelle Obama style groupie, "Class Chatterbox" of '99. About a year ago, I had a little incident involving my favorite Chloe dress, a glass of red wine, and a party guest who might have been feeling a bit too festive. I was convinced the dress was completely destroyed, until most Martha Stewart-like friend let me in on a little stain removal secret that I've sworn by ever since (Thank you, Elizabeth!). Mix one part Dawn dishwashing liquid (the plain old blue kind, in the big bottle that usually sits on your sink), with two parts hydrogen peroxide (available at any drug store), pour it directly on the stain, and watch it disappear like MAGIC.
