Fall 2009: Structured Shoulders
Here are some examples to different shoulder details of the trend. Rounded ones look the most feminine to me, but seemed peaked ones are becoming more and more popular.
Structured shoulders including peaked, caped, puffed and spiked details are a big trend of Fall 2009 after last years introduction. The trend is still to hit the more affordable street fashion, but expect to see more of it by Winter 2009. Bebe already seems to have a number of jackets with peaked shoulders.
I'm not completely sold on this look yet,, but my eyes are getting used to it. The best way two wear the style is with jeans, knitted tops and platform ankle boots in my opinion. One needs some height increase with these broad shoulders. A more over the top styling is with knitted pants or leggings to create a tougher look.

Doodle It Up!
Studies show that kids benefit from visual activities in a number of ways. In addition to boosting your toddler's creativity, imagination and visual thinking, it brings you closer to your child's inner world making it easier for her/him to communicate with you.
There are so many alternatives to drawing with your child. Here's what we use at home with our two year old:

Bootie Call for Fall 2009
This trend continues to rock the stores since Fall 2007. One important reason is it is an extremely durable and adaptable style to wear under pants, skirts and dresses.
I love the new details of laces, open toes, tapered heels and Oxfords. Ankle length booties are easier to style with skirts as they don't break the look like mid-calf length alternatives. Contrasting color of your booties to your tights or pairing them with a simple dress are fabulous ways to wear them. So many different options...
I recently was able to find a handmade ankle-length Oxford style with cowboy boot like heels in nude grey. I can think of endless ways to wear it and look forward to this fall to kick off my new booties.
