IF YOU haven't skipped this page to read about booze, food, or some dude's Saturday-night adventures, you're probably interested in fashion. You're probably also aware that each winter, design houses large and small introduce their special resort collections. Sadly, "resortwear" is also a term that's been appropriated by some apparel companies to describe their ugly, oversize, brightly-colored cotton separates - clothing that's destined for a retirement cruise, not the runway.
But I digress. Back to more important topics - like the weather. Baby, it's cold outside! Thank goodness some of you are jetting off to warmer climes. With all of your summer clothes in storage, though, it's a good thing we've put together a helpful little checklist of cool stuff you need for your weekend getaway.
