Both I and my sister are gagga over Downton Abbey.
Looks like we aren't the only ones. Check out Ralph Lauren's show - he's all in!
I admit that some of the tweeds were a bit too tweedy for me. But the suits and the dresses! Baby, when do we have tea! :-)

Sigh, Yes Fashion Week Does Start Friday....
But it looks like we "real" gals will finally get some reporting we can use!
From Ms. Allie over at Wardrobe Oxygen...

Go Sarah!

Diane Von Furstenberg Fall 2008 RTW....
Okay before I praise I have to ask: Diane what the *@$%& was up with those skinny little belts?!?!?
It was like in a moment of "these are on sale" madness she brought a crap load of them - then asked herself, what the fu*k do I do with these? Oh wait I know - I've go that Fall '08 RTW show coming up - I'll use them then!
Needless to say I was NOT a big fan - for the most part I thought they made the outfits look down right messy - like the girls had gotten dressed drunk and in the dark!
Sigh...okay now that I've gotten THAT off my chest...on to the winners from DVF's offerings...
(You can see pics of the whole show here
Diane Von Furstenberg - and judge for yourself!)
Yes I know after all I just said - but those damn belts were everywhere! In the case of the above two outfits it's actually the jacket and coat that I loved. Too bad you couldn't see them in their full glory thanks to the stupid belts! :-p
Okay, let me explain these two (and you know if you have to explain an outfit...). Personally, I think there's just too much going on as whole outfits. However...if you take the pieces on their own, mixing and matching them with other pieces (the coat is wonderful, the sweater set without the belt, the sweater with some other skirt or maybe with the skirt just without the coat) they work and are lovely!
Now if you simply must have those belts - the following outfits show how to do it right...
(Watching the runway show I felt for this poor little girl - that big bag nearly pulled her over!)
Love the colors, love the cut - and yes with this one I even loved the belt!
Just loved this skirt! And the colors and patterns are eye catching without being overtly loud.
This particular pic doesn't actually do full justice to this outfit - it's just beautiful!
Perfection. The quintessential DVF dress and one any woman can wear with elan!

Okay, It's NY Fashion Week....
Again!
This time Fall 2008 is up! Having tried to keep up with Fashion Week in the past with an eye on commentating on it here, I've pretty much given it up as a bad job on my part -- because I HAVE a job and I just don't have the time or the heart to try to get over to Style.com and view every single show!
However I realize that you, gentle reader, might still be full of enthusiasm for this seasonal fashion madness...
So American Express (believe it or not!) to the rescue!...
American Express Fashion Network
American Express is literally giving you a a front row seat this year to Fashion Week! AE is providing live feeds of shows on the above link and I have to say ladies, it is amazing to be able to sit in your jammies (As I am right now as I continue to battle the mother of all colds!) and view these shows as if you were there - with out the irritation of squeezing into the tents!
Even better, if you miss the live feed you can look under Shows in the drop down menu and catch shows that you missed!
What am I loving so far?.....
ABAETE
I loved the shoes that ABAETE designed for Payless, so I've keep half an eye on their shows for the past couple of seasons. For Fall 2008, ABAETE really delivers with plenty of pieces a 50+ lady can add to her closet! You can see pics of the whole collection at the link above.
What did I love?.....
Okay, on this one....I'm not mad for the cut off pants - it's the jacket I think is fab! It can go over a pair of trouser pants or a dead on pencil skirt and rock them both!
This leather jacket is the bomb! Love the lenght, love the cut...if you can take a look at the runway show, check out the back - I loved the tailoring!
I'm not usually a fan of stuff hanging out from your skirt (always makes me think of my mom telling me to pull up my slip!), but for some reason this works for me. And once again, a great jacket!
I love the cut of this coat!
I know, I know - all these off shoulder blouses. But I know there are some post 50 ladies that can pull that off! And come on - we can all work the skirt! ;-)
The hem a couple of inches lower - winner for a night out!
I tend to wonder when I see the clothes presented during Fashion Week, what of those styles will find their way to where most of us shop - the Macy's, J. C. Penney's and Targets of the world! I predict that this layered sweater look will definitely find it's way into the main stream this fall. I know a lot of designers have been trying to make this short sleeve sweater over a long sleeve sweater work for a couple of seasons, but I think this is the best expression of that look that I've seen so far and one that can work for a wide variety of women.
