The Electric Bonspiel Table was designed by Douglas Coupland as part of the Roots X Douglas Coupland Collection, as were the scarf and armwarmers.
Even though the scarf and armwarmers are made of 100% acrylic, I want them. The design is brilliant, and the price alleviates any worry about whether or not they will pill.
Appearance can trump content.

Dear Kromstyle,
The color is not right in the photo..it is very vibrant beautiful electric blue. Anyway for a special dinner at Pelago (chicago) sat I am thinking gun metal color sandals. Don't have them. Help Kromstyle what are the options with such a vibrant color? What are your thoughts on shoe/bag pairings with very vibrant colors?
Love, your biggest fan
Dear Biggest Fan,
You're on the right track; gun metal could definitely work, but my first instinct was flesh color. Love the dress, btw.

But sometimes, cool supersedes color.If your shoes are neutral, as all of the above are, you can have fun with the bag. Go Sunflower Yellow, Fire Engine Red or Purple (these colors would look great in shiny, crinkly patent)!
Enjoy your night out!
