Trend Alert: Plaids

Plaid or Tartan may be considered as a trend for fall season but over the past few days celebrities seemed to enjoy plaids more than ever before. Dresses, skirts, shirts, and even accessories were available in this pattern.

There are many ways to wear it but everyone can make it modern by sporting a swingy plaid skirt, a fitted jacket, a great cape or a sexy silk blouse.

Plaid is also featured in Teen Vogue magazine/site. Here's some of the fashion spreads:

Oscar De La Renta Cruise 2009 Collection

The Cruise 2009 Collection of Oscar de la Renta is composed of 66 sophisticated wardrobe and was presented with elegance and style in a serene setting of cherry blossoms on white washed trees.

The collection include a number of stunning lace and silk dresses, crisp separates and grownup trousers with kaleidoscope of colors of corals, blues, pinks, yellows, emeralds and corals. At first glance, I thought I am viewing a Christmas collection. Everyone was surprised to see the mix of equestrian hats or the riding hats with a couple of the looks. The climax of the runway show was de la Renta's exhibition of voluminous gowns that quite literally had a five foot radius.
