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.

Raindance maternity dress with embroidery detail trim
According to the Los Angeles Times this week, dresses are "in" -- well, thanks for the newsflash. When you're pregnant, a dress is a godsend. It's easy to put on, requires no skills to match anything to, and bathroom breaks go quickly. This black cotton number is smocked at the top, which gave me 70s flashbacks, but almost every other woman reading this will be pregnant and younger than I am, so rest easy. My friend/model and I discovered during the shoot that you can actually pull the elasticized part down to make it into a skirt, which is too cool for school! Not to mention that this is one thing you can definitely wear after baby -- but buyer beware -- my sister once tugged on my mom's strapless version of this dress, revealing her goodies to our visitors! Detailed embroidery and cutwork in white make this easy-to-wear dress easy on the eyes.
