I Heart....
Pretty much everything that Old Navy is offering this fall....
From the Women's Fall line...
(Yes, yes I know - the skirts are a bit short. But I know there are some 50+ gals out there that can make it work! ;-) )
From the Women's Plus Fall line...
More and more I see Old Navy as an unsung gem of the Banana Republic stable!

Sigh.....
Ok.
Lets face it.
Tomorrow is September 1.
Kids are going back to school.
It's Fall.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay maybe I'm particularly feeling down about the whole Fall thing this year because I had a crazy busy summer at work and with family - so I feel I had no Summer at all!
Be that as it may - Tress are going to turn from green to gold, the wind is going to go from balmy to crisp...
And you're going to need some gloves.
Why not do it in style...
Ines Gloves Europe
She does 'em short:
Short Every Day Glace Gloves - $135.56
Warm Silk Happy Laced Gloves - $145.88
She does 'em long...
Sensual Almost Elbow High Gloves - $90.08
Longer...
Longest???....
Sensual Indulging Up Shoulder Gloves - $293.23
And then...well you be the judge...
Fashionata Half Gloves - $145.88
But my fav?....
Gloves Bolero - $396.37
Ah...If I were only 30 years younger....

Diane von Furstenberg....
Gets interactive while showing off her Fall 2008 collection....
Looks We Love
As you know, if you read my thoughts on her Fall 2008 collection (Diane Von Furstenberg Fall 2008 RTW.... ) way back in February, I loved a lot about it except for those damnable skinny belts (which, by the by, it appears that we will not be able to escape this season!).
So go on over and get interactive with her while you take another look at her Fall offerings! ;-)

Isaac Mizrahi for Target Fall 2008.....
I guess when they announced that Isaac Mizrahi was leaving Target for Liz Claiborne, I wasn't paying sharp attention. Regardless of the way his name has been removed from prominent display in Target stores, he still on deck for them until the end of this year...
Thus his Target Fall 2008 collection:
As you can see, there's plenty to love for the 50+ femme in this collection.
Oh and of course, let's not forget the accessories...

Even through it's still summer....
The Fall stuff is hitting the stores and the web right now!
So let's get started taking a sharp (I hope!) eye at what the retailers are offering that might work in the 50+ lady's closet!
Starting out of the gate - Banana Republic...
Paisley Cardigan and Pencil Skirt
Belted Sweater and Wide Leg Pant
Sleeveless Origami Knit Dress - $150.00
BR Monogram Blazer and Wide Leg Pant
BR Monogram Blazer and Pencil Skirt
BR Monogram Trenchcoat and Dress
Trenchcoat and Wide Leg Pant
Yes, yes I know. I usually ignore BR - frankly mostly because I resent the fact that they don't offer their clothes in plus sizes (for some reason, they think that being tall - which admittedly can be quite a dressing challenge in and of itself - is more of an issue for the modern American woman than finding good tailored clothes in plus sizes - NOT!). There's also the issue with the closing of Forth and Towne - a MAJOR mistake if you ask me!
But looking at these outfits, I can't turn a blind eye to their sleek stylishness - just the sort of bedrock pieces a 50+ gal can build on! As long as the frame you're building on doesn't require a size larger than 16!
And by the by....Their Fall handbag collection is not lookin' too shabby either! Skip over to my bag bog -Bag Sanity - for all my picks.
But between you and me...I'm thinking of making space in my closet for this lovely...
Robson Hexagonal Tote - $260.00
I've been longing for a gray bag just this color for awhile now - and this one might just fit the bill! Note that this color is only available online.

Marc Jacobs Fall 2008 RTW....
You know you have an interesting personality on your hands when the lead headline for his collection is the fact that he managed to start the runway show on time! ;- )
And the collection isn't half bad either....
See the whole thing here....Marc Jacobs
I hope to God that this is not a jumpsuit! But I include it because I like the cut.
I like the way he moved away from all the solemn colors everyone else seemed to be showing for fall. In fact, he just about goes Easter for Fall!
