We are loving the trends for fall 2008. They completely juxtapose everything we previously knew about fall and winter clothing. We're looking forward to a vibrant season come October.

Here are the top 5 trends that we are loving right now.

1. Feminine Texture: Add just a touch of pretty texture to your looks by way of silk, lace or satin.

2. Prints: Don't be a shrinking violet just because it's winter! Swirly art and flower prints are still big for fall so take that summer dress, throw on a cardigan and tights and voila; you're ready for fall!

3. Go for the bold: Juicy colors like cherry red, deep plum, apple green, and mustard yellow are in as are dusty pastels like pink, lavender, and ice blue.

4. Back to Basics: Clean basic shapes in classic black and white (yes, white after Labor Day *gasp*) are go to staples.

5. Extra, extra!: Big bag. Statement jewelry. Sky high heels. Loads of accessories.

It feels to us that summer is slowly starting to leak into winter, literally. And we're just fine with that!
