Fall 2010 Shoe Trends: Cutout ankle booties for some edgy chic

Following shoes trend this past couple of seasons has been pretty straightforward, as it seems anything goes!

And the concept of "statement shoes" continues to make even more of a statement, especially when you look at runway collections like Versace, who has produced some of the most magnificent footwear imaginable - check out the Art of Shoes to see some shoe magic.

Peep toe ankle boots are not new, but they have become increasingly popular.. and are now considered mainstream! What started out as a runway/celebrity look has become a staple for Fall/Winter 2010 - and the new twist on peep-toe is the "cut out ankle bootie". In keeping with the current statement shoe concept, these are edgy and fun, and very chic! Wear them with your basics, to add a pop to your look (fabulous with skinny jeans and casual tee), or for your more formal events, pair them with a simple draped black jersey dress.

Louis Vuitton Fall 2010 Handbags: A collection full of texture, the 1950s & hello again Speedy!

Tags: Fall 2010 | Handbags | Louis Vuitton | Paris Fashion Week | Runway

louisvuitton-fall2010Perhaps it's a little too soon to talk about Fall 2010 trends, as runway looks are at least 5 months away from a real-life purchase, but handbags have become such an important part of our wardrobe that it's nice to know what's hot even before it actually IS hot!

Marc Jacobs Louis Vuitton runway show is always an exciting part of Paris Fashion Week, watched for clothing trends as much as the coveted handbags, and on a sunny day, a litter of new styles were unveiled. The clothing was full of big skirts, and wasp waists - think Mad Men meets The Sound of Music, that sums up the look & feel.

These bags will have certain fashionistas waiting at the ready for pre-release samples. One of Louis Vuitton's traditional handbags, the Speedy, dominated the collection, and you will see variety of materials and fabrics in this signature shape. From the very busy textured leather, crocodile and even (gasp) sequins, to some fabulous smooth simple logo bags that evoke thoughts of Grace Kelly. Overall, this is a varied collection - while Speedy is the trend, variety is the end result as there is something here for everyone!

Spring 2010 Trends: Clogs are back again, special thanks to Alexa Chung & Chanel!

Tags: Runway | Shoes | Shopping | Spring 2010

alexachung-2010feb25Just last month, Alexa Chung was spotted at Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2010, attending the coveted Chanel show, and of course she was wearing Chanel. But what caused a major buzz was her choice of footwear! She was wearing clogs.. yes, those retro chunky studded shoes with wooden heels. Except Alexa had herself a pair of Chanel clogs, the same ones seen on the runway back in October. In fact, the dress she wore to the show was paired with clogs on the runway.

So fast forward to Spring 2010, and clogs are fast becoming the must-have of the new season. Major brands offering hot clogs include Jimmy Choo, Miu Miu, Fendi and even Gucci. While Miu Miu is still on pre-order, you will already find a terrific selection online - yes, this early in the season!

We covered Alexa Chung in Chanel back in January when she attended Paris Fashion Week - this profile was one of the most popular looks on the site. And readers continue to search for clogs online!

Spring 2010 Handbag Trends: Snakeskin, python & other reptiles

Tags: Accessories Trend | Handbags | Snakeskin | Spring 2010 | Statement Handbags

Reptiles & amphibians were very noticeable on the Spring/Summer 2010 runway - the most notable collection from Alexander McQueen. "Plato's Atlantis" was a dreamy underwater world of glorious colour with fish scale and psychedelic python prints.

And now one of the most luxurious handbag trends this season is snakeskin & python effects - you can find quite the selection of eye-catching colour, as well as subtle nude & neutral shades (which remains the biggest trend of the new season). The largest selection of python & snakeskin comes from Jimmy Choo - the iconic brand updated signature handbags in dazzling python.. both the Odette and Saba are available in new reptile embossed prints.

Traditional snakeskin is neutral & brown, but that doesn't mean you can't find stunning bursts of colour. Pauric Sweeney has a fabulous statement pink patchwork python bag shown below, and even Lanvin got into the reptile game with a soft metallic python bag. More below..

Spring 2010 Accessories Trend: Splash of Hot Pink Part II

Tags: Accessories Trend | Color | Handbags | Pink | Shoes | Shopping | Spring 2010

This is Part II of a Hot Pink Profile, a tropical neon shade that is fast becoming THE must-have accent colour! Part I of the pink profile covered hot pink clothing, a welcome & stylish change from the neutral palette that dominates the new season. And now we have accessories - which covers everything from Handbags, Shoes, Jewellery, Scarves... and anything else that isn't clothing!

As usual, style icon Sarah Jessica Parker was Spring fashion forward when she arrived at The Late Show With David Letterman for her appearance back in December. Now THIS is major splash of pink - in addition to the colour, she has given instant recognition to a new designer. Her bag is by Diane De Maria, called the Small Bonnie Satchel, and we will definitely provide links if/when this collection becomes available online.
