| Still from Annie Hall | Kate Spade Fall 2015 |
It's nearing the end of New York Fashion Week and the trends are starting to emerge. Among them, there seems to be an affinity for androgynous dressing and oversized proportions à la Annie Hall, the classic Woody Allen film starring Diane Keaton as the titular character.
To tell you the truth, I haven't actually seen Annie Hall (it's on my Netflix queue, though!) but I think that's a testament to how iconic Keaton's character is that I can recognize the style of the character in the runway shows of Thakoon and DKNY.
What's trending at NYFW? Loose-fitted suits of tweed and pinstripe, larger-than-life proportions, wide-leg culottes, and round hats, to name a few of the trends that would have delighted Annie. While I haven't seen a straight-up tie and sweater vest outfit combination that blatantly references the film's fashionable lead, there's no doubt that the style of Annie Hall echoes throughout fashion week.
And what does that mean, really, for fall trends? The fall 2015 girl is loose and casual, less feminine and prim than her spring version, but by no means is she going to not dress sharply. She's more muted, embracing neutrals and earthy tones, and she's more interested in unique tailoring than she is in showing off her skin or her curves. She means business, but she's not afraid to have fun.

Thanksgiving can be a weird holiday, clothing-wise.
It is usually a holiday full of family gatherings, so we desire to dress our best. BUT there is also a lot of food involved, and no one likes a noticeable food baby, so that eliminates a good deal of dresses.
Shift dresses and empire waists were made for Turkey Day. Their loose-fitting structures are perfect for a day of indulgences, and you can wear one of these dresses without fear of looking drab or like you just ate, well, a whole turkey.
Thanksgiving dinners also tend to either be pretty casual family affairs or more dressy occasions with friends, so I've provided two perfect Thanksgiving outfits for whatever style of the holiday you celebrate!
Enjoy Thanksgiving, everyone, and don't forget a slice of pumpkin pie!
What are you all planning on wearing to Thanksgiving dinner?

Following yesterday's Pink Coat Analysis, I find myself obsessing over another outerwear trend: the return of the cape.
While not always entirely practical (in other words, the lack of sleeves) the cape is a stylish and swinging piece that can serve as an alternative to the typical, classic coat.
And recently, capes have made a remarkable return to the forefront of cold weather fashions, which has gotten me questioning just how practical they can be and thus, how justified I would be if I were to buy one.

| MICHAEL Michael Kors cape, $295 at Net-a-porter.com |
This MICHAEL Michael Kors cape in particular has got me swooning. It is classic black and gold and comes in at a perfect price point, which is quite tempting. Plus, it totally goes with anything, including my somewhat preppy style.
But as the fall 2013 runways have shown, any style of lady can wear a cape, from the innocent fairy tale styling at Red Valentino to the witchy vibes at Marios Schwab.
Take a cue from these bloggers and fashion-savvy ladies; there are endless ways to wear the cape!

What do you think about the cape trend?
The weather is finally warming up (at least it is here in Los Angeles) and it's time to pull out the primary colors, bold prints, and floral motifs!
