One of my favorite new looks this year is the leather moto jacket with its sleek lines and sharp details. It's such a classically chic item, that you'll be able to wear for years on end without the fear of it fading into fashion oblivion.

This easy to wear fashion looks stylish no matter what you wear it with! Try it with a pair of Kut jeans and a basic tee or with a dressy pair of Tribal pants and a textured tank. The moto jacket gives you the versatility of wearing it while shopping, going out to dinner or meeting a special client for work.

Tribal's version of the moto jacket is an animal-friendly version made from a blend of polyurethane and rayon instead of animal skin. This fabric blend also gives this jacket the look and feel of leather without the price tag! All of the added details on Tribal's fitted moto jacket like the pockets, snaps and cuffs give it a polished finish. Because of this finish, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that everyone thinks you spent a fortune even though you didn't!

Denim is a HUGE trend this fall and winter. Because there are many new ways to wear denim this season, you have no excuse to pass on this trend. It's so versatile and easy to wear, and we will show you just few ways to bring it into your wardrobe.
  1. Denim Jacket- one of the most versatile items you could own. Here we show a denim trench style that is a little dressier and great for work. The enamel buttons and belted waist give it something special. A basic denim jacket is a good choice that can be worn year round, over dresses or with a skirt and blouse.
  2. Denim Vest- so simple, yet so chic. A denim vest could be layered under a suit for an unexpected touch. Try it with a pair of wide leg, higher waisted pants.
  3. Denim Shirt- a oldie but goody that is back again this season. We love a classic denim shirt over a white tee and a mini skirt. You could also dress it up with feminine jewelry. Longer versions can be worn with leggings.
  4. Denim Jeans- a dressy pair can be stylish enough for work or to go out on the town. Jeans may seem like an obvious choice, but they are also a fantastic investment. A good pair of jeans will slenderize your body and give your confidence a boost. Look for dark washes and a leg opening that compliments your body type . Don't be afraid to spend a little more money to get the perfect fit.
Whatever you choose, we suggest looking for quality versions of the timeless classics and look for less expensive choices for the fashion pieces.

When you need a stunning jacket for a special event like an evening wedding, cocktail party or night at the theater, you can turn to Samuel Dong's chic ruffled jackets for a real show stopper! Available in sangria, crimson and black, the luxurious taffeta jacket is ideal for an evening out.

Last year, Samuel Dong blew away the competition with their incredibly stylish bubble jacket, but this year their signature piece is destined to be their ruffled jacket. The slimming, belted style is knee length with full length sleeves and ruffled trim. It is fully lined and has a front zip closure and perfectly placed pockets on the sides.

You could wear any of these colors with classic wide leg trouser pants or slim cut ankle length pants. Add a black top with a little bit of shimmer and dazzling flats, and you will definitely be turning heads! A sleek evening bag, chunky cocktail ring and simple earrings will accent your Samuel Dong jacket while allowing it to be the true statement piece.

Perfect for a frigid workplace, a chilly movie theater or an evening football game- one of our year round favorite accessories is a chic, light weight jacket. A stylish jacket shows that you took the time to assemble a look instead of digging the same old frumpy sweater or hoody out of the back of your closet. (These things have their place too, but are better left to comfy evenings at home.)

Let's consider your jacket options.

If you are on a tight budget and don't own any jackets, consider a jacket in a basic color such as black, khaki, gray or denim like Tribal's Black Cotton Twill Jacket (to the left). It is fashionable yet basic enough to be worn to work, church, dinner or to the mall. You can layer it with tops that you already own or really punch it up with a colorful tee or tank and some funky jewelry. A classic fitted jacket in cotton twill or a sateen twill is also a great go to item to keep at home or the office. Tribal's black jacket or a similar style will give you the most bang for your buck and will fit seamlessly into your existing wardrobe.

If you already own a variety of solid jackets or you prefer a higher ratio of bling to basic in your clothing, you might consider a patterned jacket like the ones from Ruby Rd. (Ex. shown to the right.) We especially like Ruby Rd. because they offer a great selection of jackets at unbeatable prices as well as coordinating pieces to go with them. Most of their jackets really pop when worn with their coordinating tops, bottoms and skirts, but will also go with items you already own. Even Ruby Rd.'s more basic jackets have fun button and beading details so you always feel special and will stand out from the crowd.

So save that well-loved, well-worn sweater for curling up on the couch and try looking stylish and put together with a fun and affordable jacket from ShopMartins.com!

Fall fashions are starting to arrive from our best-selling brand, Tribal. Their rich fall palette is composed of juicy plum and blackberry, luscious magenta, steely grays and punchy peacock blue, but our favorite piece is the new jersey tunic in black with it's black and white trim. You can wear this simple, chic look year round with black, white or denim and a whole range of accessories.

Tribal offers a variety of other styles that we love too including the new moleskin jackets that come in peacock blue and blackberry and have coordinating, sleeveless mock neck sweaters. Also, their long cardigans in blackberry and black are fun layering pieces that will keep you warm, cozy and most importantly- stylish all season long. Both colors have matching cotton tees with a fun floral applique. Don't miss out on Tribal's chunky sweaters and printed tops that always sell out quickly!

Although this is just a sneak preview of fall 2009 Tribal, we're confident you'll find styles you can wear both now and 3 months from now!
