The Season's Must-Have Moto

Bright Wool Moto Jacket, $128, GAP

Everyone is going mental over this bright wool moto and for good reason(s):

1) It's wool, not leather, so it's actually affordable.

2) It comes in this amazing shade of pink - THE colour of the season.

3) The Gap Make Merry Sale is on, so it's 35% off if you buy it by tonight. No pressure.

You've been doing a lot of shopping for everyone else these days. Time to give yourself a little pat on the back. Or in this case, an AMAZING new jacket on your back. Am I right?

From a very early age, my mom taught me the value of threes.  Her style math boiled down to this: even = bad, odd = good.  Just for kicks, I would often offer to set the table if we were having dinner guests and would purposely put two candles in two candle-holders in the middle of the table.  Even if she was at the opposite end of the house, my mom could instantly sense the dissonance.  She'd beeline it to the dining room and stand in the doorway, a look of confusion, discomfort even, crossing her lovely face.  Out came the third candle holder, a little 45 degree turn to the right (to give the arrangement a certain je-ne-sais-quoi) and balance was restored. Ahhh..that's better.  Call it Granny's Mantel, matchy-matchy or classic feng shui but I have to admit that I feel the same way.  Good things always come in threes, don't you think? Hmmm...does this mean I should buy 3 of each?
