I was recently helping a friend of mine shop for Roll-tide Weekend: Alabama vs. Ole Miss (as I write this, the game is underway). She and her hubs were invited down for the festivities- and her calendar was full of meals, gatherings, and cocktail parties...all before the big game. Needless to say, the wardrobe had to include a healthy variety of crimson and...one of THE biggest trends of fall 2012: Houndstooth!

| It takes guts to pull this off. |
If you haven't noticed, it's everywhere...and honestly, I love it. The pattern. The use of black and white (my staples) or the pop of color (see below). The classic, preppy style. So fab. I have a 7 year old cotton houndstooth jacket from the Gap, and it's a go-to for me. I even used to have the matching capri pants (see outfit above) that made it look like a suit. I loved it. The pants got a little too snug (alas) but I've held tight to that jacket! I do secretly wish I had kept the pants just to appreciate the full outfit :) Here's a few favorites of mine from across the fashion world...

| JCrew got it right with these. |
This looks divine with black pants.

| Tory Burch "Virginia" |
Maybe the pattern just isn't your cup of tea, but if nothing else, it looks down right adorable in accessories like scarves and ties (for your gent!)- and it'll simply never go out of style.
