Fall 2008 trends

Check out Shopbop, which has a lookbook, trend updates, a slew of great designers (plus good sales) -- and a preview of Fall '08.

The six trends, according to Shopbop, are: full skirts, winter florals, leather (short skirts and vests), feathers and fringe (not nearly as scary as it sounds!), folk inspiration (blanket coats, Russian references), and slouchy trousers.

What's not to like?

These trends are what smart shoppers will keep in mind as they start planning their fall purchases (and contemplate editing their fall/winter wardrobe in August).

Too complicated

Not at all! Keeping these trends in mind is a great way to stay on trend. You stand a better chance of updating what's already in your closet with strategically chosen additions. 

What's on your list for fall? Leave me a comment -- I'd love to hear about it.

[Note: Ignore the "Shop Spring Collection" on top of the pictures -- these are definitely pictures of Fall.]
