Fashion Trends – Looking Forward
October 3rd, 2010 § 3 Comments
If you pay attention to fashion and trends you know top designers are always looking forward. It’s hard to believe that Autumn has just arrived and yet Fashion Week in Milan last week had designers focusing on Spring/Summer 2011.
Dolce&Gabbana Spring 2011
My favorite was Dolce&Gabbana who emphasized lots of white and gorgeous vintage looking lace. Of course most of us can’t necessarily justify running out to D&G and spending a fortune. The good news is, with awesome handmade designers, you don’t have to.

Fall Fashion Trend – Faux Fur
October 2nd, 2010 § 2 Comments
Looking through pictures of Fashion Week today, I’m noticing a huge emphasis on fur. I’m not a big fan of real fur at all. The good news is that some designers are not only fashion forward, they also have a cruelty free conscience. Seeing this trend able to carry through Fall and Winter, I’m willing to bet you’ll be seeing a lot more “fur” to come. These Handmade artisans feature faux fur in their work.

Trends – Boots (Always My Favorite)
September 13th, 2010 § 3 Comments
Every year as summer begins to fade and Fall begins its beautiful journey to me, I get excited. It’s my favorite season for so many reasons. Halloween, leaves turning gorgeous shades of reds, oranges, yellows and greens, cooler weather and autumnal scents filling the air. However, one thing usually gets me amped more than anything else…Fall clothes and shoes! I love layering…tights and skirts, boots with tall socks, sweaters, scarves…the list is endless. My all time favorite for fall is a killer pair of boots. I had suede slouch boots in 7th grade (thanks to my Mom who I now realize was fashion forward) and lace up Victorian boots in High School. College was more of a Doc Marten time and now I’m drooling over black, leather motorcycle boots. No matter where you live, no matter what size you are, this is one fashion “trend” you must own. I even hesitate to call it a “trend” since a great pair of boots will always serve you well.Here are a few great boots and things to wear with boots. I love the “rocker” style, the “biker” style and the “postapocalyptic” style.
