Fall 2008 Women's Fashion Trend: Plaid CoatsPolka dots and tweed are giving way to plaid in all sorts of color combinations this Fall, and you can choose from a long-coat with a low-waited belt, or a simple pea coat style buttoned up to the max. Both large and small plaid prints are acceptable this season, and are best paired with tights and booties over a dress or skirt.
Fall 2008 Women's Fashion Trend: Shitake and Twilight Blue Color CombosShitake is a mellow brown color, while Twilight Blue is a variation of classic navy. Together, this is one of Fall's most attractive looks and can be found in coats, dresses, and even pantsuits. Temperley London and Peter Som both picked up on this color combination at New York Fashion Week, and it's perfect for both day and night.

Leather military jacket


Leather military jacketGood start, needs work. I ordered this in black. However, I don't think it's dyed very well and it looks like a charcoal grey in person. The leather isn't the best quality, but acceptable for the price. The front fits great, but the back has very little shaping and is not nearly as flattering as it could be. It has two very short kick pleats that look, well, stupid. I have a lot of sewing experience so I am going to take it apart at the back seams, refit it and extend the kick pleats. I also removed the tacked on detail at the cuffs. You can't tell by the photo but it's just a strip of leather held in place by the button stitching. Very lame, but easy to remove.
I gave this four stars because I think it's a great start to the jacket I want, the price wasn't bad (on clearance) and I think I will be very happy with it once I get something to darken the leather and make some alterations to the back.
I'd recommend ordering this a size larger than normal if you want to wear it over a sweater.

London Fog Women's


London Fog Women's Faux Silk Double Breasted Trench Coat I purchased this trench coat in black for my trip to Amsterdam during the month of September 2008. The color was perfect for traveling from dusty Iraq to Amsterdam. Once I arrived to Amsterdam I wore my coat everyday and it matched well with every outfit. The sleeves were a 1/2 inch shorter than what I would have liked because I have long arms as I am 5ft 11' However the length was perfect and the coat looked great on! I think the coat runs fitted so I would reccomnend getting one size up from what you would normally wear. Overall I am pleased with the price and product being

fashion trends

Finally, you can use print media to determine which fashion trends are right for you. Celebrity magazines, fashion magazines and even catalogues from clothing stores are all valuable if you are looking for the freshest fashion trends on the market. However, magazines have a tendency to focus on clothing that is out of most peoples price range, so be sure to take a magazines recommendation on fashion trends with a grain of salt.

Black Dress The dress is great, but was a little bit bigger than expected and did not have time to have it altered.
Perfect "little black dress" Perfect "little black dress." It runs rather large and I ordered a size smaller, but still had to have it altered. Otherwise, very happy with the dress.
