Metallic

The year is not even half over and I'm mesmerized by these Balmain metallic dresses. They are pretty close to perfection. Isabel Marant got in on the action too. I'm coveting this skirt and leather tie belt!

Animal Skin Accessories

A tried and true classic, animal prints and skins will forever be a fashion staple but this Fall we're seeing them in fresh new ways. Decadent, sure but worth every penny since this trend doesn't seem to be leaving us anytime soon.

Spring 10 Trend: The Shootie

The ‘It’ shoe of Spring/Summer 10 is the beautiful marriage of two favorite styles, the sandal and the bootie. Meet the Shootie in its newest form – open toed, strappy, and done in neutral tones. It's the perfect complement to Spring’s skirts, dresses and cropped trousers. Here are some of my favorites.

Coco Avant Chanel - Inspired Trends

Coco Chanel, always the ultimate taste maker, even before the House of Chanel became a cornerstone of fashion. In the movie we get a glimpse of Coco's life and discover that she has always been a style pioneer. Women were inspired to follow her lead long before she was the style icon we now know. Here are some looks from the movie, and current trends that were influenced by the period, and the woman.
