Purple is a very hot color for Fall 2008, and I have to say that I'm loving the royal elegance of the purple handbags, clothing, and jewelry that I'm seeing emerge this fall.

Check out this Keeping Up Appearances blog article regarding the greatness of purple this season.  Kristen recommends pairing purple with the season's hottest neutral color, grey.

And I absolutely love Shopinchic's article packed with ideas and suggestions for wearing purple this fall.  I like her her idea about pairing purple with black to add elegance to this royal color.  And she offers great advice about not pairing purple with another bold color, like red.

It's that time of year again when we all begin our begin our quest for stylish back-to-school clothes.   I've been doing a little research to find out what the hottest back to school clothing trends are going to be for this season.

Here's what I've come up with:

1.  Skinny jeans and high waisted jeans

2.  Layered clothing

3.  Screenprinted t-shirts

4.  Leggings

5.  Plaid prints

6.  Vests

7.  Anything with ruffles

8.  Denim skirts

Skip the crowded malls and do your shopping from the comfort of your own home.  Shopping online for back-to-school is bigger than ever this year, probably because gas prices continue to climb.
