Ahh, Spring Is In The Air....

And fall fashion week in New York is in full bloom!! The fall forecast is not one look, messages were more muffled. The mix and match of casual and formal, long and short, tight and loose, were prevailing trends. But where one designer might show a flapper look, the next may have been inspired by the 1970's. Balance is the key for the fall season.

Here are the fall trends hitting the runways:

• Feathers-Less expensive than fur but surprisingly versitle.
• Dressy coats-Always a wise investment.
• Purple-The color was consistent throughout the collections, from Rock & Republic to Michael Kors.
• Tweed-A classic jazzed up with metallics, either with jodhpurs or in an evening gown.
• Strapless-Now considered appropiate year round wear, best with a feather boa?!
