Fall Essentials - The Trench Coat

Fall in Washington, D.C. can mean 70 degrees and sunny one day and 42 and rainy the next. That's why the stylish Washington woman who is always prepared will have a classic trench coat in her repertoire.
Here are a few recommendations that will suit any style, any budget and any occasion:
Merona Military Trench from Target - $39.99 – This trench is a classic military style complete with button-up straight neckline and shoulder epaulettes. Try it in winter white to carry you through to spring time.
London Fog Belted Trench from Nordstom - $138 (single breasted) or $178 (double breasted) – Without a doubt, London Fog is the brand for rainwear attire. Their new campaign featuring Tony Parker and Eva Longoria shows that rainy weather can be steamy. Try the black double-breasted for a sophisticated look or the classic single-breast in khaki.
The Shimmer Trench by Burberry - $1,395 – Of course what conversation about trench coats would be complete without a nod to Burberry. Though this black and charcoal plaid will set you back a few clams, it’s well worth having the brand’s signature look that will never, ever go out of style.

Fall 2009 Fashion Trend: Kelly Green

Even though warm summer days are still upon us, attention is being paid to the top trends that will rule Fall 2009. This season promises bold colors, posh fabrics, and a few leftovers from the 80's (choose at your own discretion.)
One of the top trends for this Fall will be the use of Kelly Green. Although violets and purples typically rule the autumn months, kelly green will be a fresh change and a flattering color on all!

This look from the Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 Ready-to-Wear collection makes great use of another hot fall trend, billowing skirts. Crinoline is making a big come back this season in the form mini dresses. Going into the holiday season, this is perfect pick for upcoming soirees!

Spring trend alert: The new tweed jacket

And this ain’t your mama’s tweed!
Ok, so there’s nothing new about the tweed jacket and it’s a staple that, unlike the multi-colored Louis Vuitton Murkami bag, has never gone out of style. But the tweed jacket did disappear from the runways for some years. Now it’s making a strong come back this spring – and this tweed is not the stuffy, itchy tweed some our mother’s generation suffered from. Read more...
