shopping and more shopping
i just got back from los angeles this evening. i was there on a buying trip and a week before that i was in new york for a buying trip. there is just so much product out there. the most prevalent trend that i saw was the love for metallics. it is all about metallic bags, shoes and accessories! i even succumbed to the metallics craze and bought michael kors grand prixe birkenstock. i have worn it literally everyday and a stranger always makes a comment about these shoes! they are fabulous! i know that if things are big in new york now, it will hit in san francisco in about 6 months. which makes metallics perfect for spring. if you are afraid of metallics, then do the gold earrings or the gold barettes. you can still be a part of the trend and yet not be so obvious about it. another strong trend is indian inspired tops, skirt and thongs. that was huge in new york, i saw that on atleast one beautiful girl in new york. the maxine sashes that we make for our store and for others, are starting to grow in popularity. the belt sash thing i think we will strong into fall. it is a great accessory. another accessory i see growing in populartiy will be brooches and pins, that you wear on the lapel of your favorite cropped fall jacket or pinned to your poncho or even a scarf. get out those vintage pins! anything vintage will also be huge for fall. vintage inspired dressed, pencil skirt, and tweed and velvet jackets. that is my take on what is to come! have fun with trend and fashion, clothes is meant to express not to define!
