Spring '09 runways have a new woman in mind. Her blackberry is the first thing in her clutch, she power lunches with friends and business partners alike, and she has as much confidence as she does shoulder padding.

The power suit is back in softer lines and tones. I've been living in my navy-power suit-ish blazer for a bit. Glad to see it's taken to runways.

I also love the compromise between the dramatic drop-crotch pant and the skinny pant: slouchy tapered trouser. Very Molly Ringwald-chic ;)
