Trend for Spring...

Stuffed Animal Bags!!! At the Giles show in Paris (which was so much fun, thank god he didn't lose any whimsy with the move from London) large triceratops bags were featured.

I am for one very excited about this possibility. Maybe because I already own two stuffed animal bags that I got at Storyland(best place in the world!). I say everyone should go all out with this trend. Every time I carry my bags I get tons of compliments.

Here's Mitch with my flamingo bag. I may also have a moose bag. They are amazing.

More Fanny Packs!

The D&G show in Milan featured even more fanny packs. I'm pretty sure that means they are definitely a trend for spring. They were also the only part of the show I liked, I'm really not a big fan of entire denim outfits...


But really what is the point of a fanny pack if you're going to carry it? You might as well just use a regular purse.

Wishful Thinking Trends

From London Fashion Week: Hoop Skirts!
I can't even say how much I love hoop skirts.

Me sad because I can't fit into the awesome hoop skirted costume

So I was very excited when I saw Charles Anastase's spring 2010 collection, with several hoop skirts. The entire collection was also pretty cool, kind of what I would imagine one of the little urchin children from Charles Dickens would wear today.

Wishful Thinking Trends

So when I'm looking for trends from the runway shows the first show I go to is the Marc Jacobs show. So crossing my fingers, a trend for the spring will be...fanny packs!

I mean, let's face it, everyone loves fanny packs. They're incredibly practical. But still, no fanny packs made out of nylon. Those will never be OK.

I Love Shoes

I love shoes, and fall shoes are always the best. Mainly because I've never been a fan of sandals (they always give me blisters) plus I love boots in all forms. These are all of my favorites that I've found so far, although I can't actually afford them.

1) I'm not sure what brand these are but I really love them. I'm into studs on shoes all of a sudden and these definitely deliver.

2) I'm am lusting for these. Of course they're Christian Louboutin and $2,875 so I'm not going to be buying them anytime soon. I can't think of any fall outfit that these wouldn't perfectly compliment. Plus, I love that they're snakeskin but almost look like newspaper. And I love anything with ruffles.

3) These shoes are from Topshop and only $110. I love the shape, it's super fun and they seem pretty comfortable. They're called dancing shoes and that's exactly what I would do in them. Plus suede shoes for fall are fantastic.

4) So so so adorable. They're Nanette Lapore and $395. I love them first because I love anything with a bow. Plus the color is beautiful and so unusual. I could almost justify buying them since I have never owned any shoes that color and I think they would go with just about anything.

5) I needed to have one animal print shoe on my list. They're definitely on trend for the fall, and leopard is always classy. I also like that the leopard only shoes on the little fold, instead of over the whole shoe which can be a little much. The shape is also classic so these can be worn with almost anything. Christian Louboutin $975

6) Every shoe wardrobe has to include a crazy awesome pair of shoes that make a statement all by themselves. This way when you can't think of something to wear you can just throw on all black, the shoes, and you're all set. I also love hot pink shoes, and straps so these are perfect. Well except for the price, Jimmy Choo $1,295.

7) These are my favorite favorite favorite pair of shoes. I am in love with these boots. They are the perfect boots for winter. I love wearing white outerwear in the winter, and with the addition of the fur at the top these would make any outfit completely classy and transformed into a winter wonderland. All'd you need is a white fur coat and you're set. Manolo Blahnik $1,495

Thigh High Boots

I have been lusting for thigh high boots ever since I started thinking about my fall wardrobe. However, I was not confident in my ability to find boots that were not incredibly tacky/hooker boots for around $100. Here are some fabulous ones way out of my price range:

Christian Louboutin $2,185

Prada $1,450

However, being the thrifty shopper that I am I managed to find a pair of over the knee boots that I LOVE for exactly $100!

I got them from DSW. They're Jessica Simpson's brand which makes me feel slightly shameful, but really no one has to know!
