A great “stylist” knows that the key to good fashion knowledge and the latest trends, is knowing where to find them, and of course doing your fashion homework.

Take for instance coats and jackets.  As a stylist I think the best jackets and coats are the ones that you can move in, they don’t make you feel like you are wearing a straightjacket.

With that in mind, the fall/winter 2008 collection by Samuel Dong you will love. Samuel Dong jackets and coats are created to be not only stylish but comfortable as well. They include spandex to help move with you, not against you.

My friend Catherine Schuller from www.curvestyle.com, an image consultant from New York City, fell in love with Samuel Dong’s cigar bubble trench and wore it all through fashion week and got tons and tons of compliments.

“Thank you for simplifying my life this month. It has saved me…truly.”

The best place to find Samuel Dong jackets and coats is One Brilliant, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 412.781.3443.

Another key piece this fall is leather legging.  They are everywhere. I recommend the faux leather high-waisted legging 80% nylon 20% spandex, from American Apparel. They fit great and look fantastic.  I went with the black eel color in a tonal hologram pattern, and upped my size for a better fit. For $44 they will not break the bank. www.americanapparel.net

You are seeing plaid again this fall/winter season. Burlington Coat Factory has a great selection of plaid jackets for only $19.99. I choose this one because I loved the big red buttons and swing sleeves.  Many of times I have purchased jackets and changed the buttons on them.  In this case you don’t have to. www.burlingtoncoatfactory.com
