I usually would never think to carry a bag just for my cellphone; I already carry a make-up bag, a wallet and a purse, but this gold embossed leather cellphone holder by Chanel is sweet and has me rethinking.....
I've personally been rocking gladiator sandals for the past two summers, but this year it seems that everyone has finally caught onto these comfy, yet funky sandals. Though, I have over two pair, these blood red sandals by Balenciaga are worthy of a debit card swipe.
Quite a few fashionistas have been rocking suspenders with everything from high-waisted jeans to short-shorts. I don't find this to be the most democratic accessory.
While salivating over our Chanel inventory, this brooch caught my eye. Not what I was expecting from Chanel -- which is precisely what might make it fun to wear, no?
What do you think about head-to-toe prints? Personally, I love 'em and would happily rock this Alice Ritter blouse and skirt together. But what say you? Too much?
I personally love daring footwear; it's the easiest way to express your most dramatic side. I captured this pair of striped boots on one of NYC's most elite Styleaholics and though I like the silhouette of the shoe, I'm not sure if the stripes detract or add to the overall look.
Fashiontribes, recently hipped me to the fact that elaborate hats were back for spring. Though these looks by Christian Dior Couture and Alexander McQueen, have nothing on the ladies who attend my Baptist church, I still think they may be even too funky for me.
Edgy trench coats are in full swing this season; styles include animal prints and bold colors similar to this sunny Michael Kors hooded, belted trench.
Buzzing through our accessory wall, I landed on this Dolce & Gabbana black patent and pvc double handle bag; personally I love the combo of gold chain links and the black color blocking, but I honestly am so paranoid about having all my "stuff" on display.
Frye Boots are best known for their broken-in, vintage leather look, but this fall they're introducing a patent version and I'm not sure how I feel about them. I'm always down to introduce some shine into my wardrobe, but patent boots should have a pointy-heel on them, no?
Walking last night on my way to my favorite Ethiopian joint, I was struck with awe and admiration at the massive variety of ankle boots worn by NYC's trendiest, but I'm still on the fence about the lace-up bootie as it sort of reads: GRANNY.
Though this baglooks great--I'm especially digging the taupe colored patent leather--I can't help but think that it really reminds me of a small piece of luggage; and after reading the NYT article on painful purses, I'm not so sure if this trend is for me.
On a showroom visit this past Wednesday at Factory PR (they handle press for Tracy Reese, Yoana Baraschi and a host of other lust-have labels), they showed me this Tweetie bird yellow, high-waisted denim skirt from Fresh Ink's Pre-Fall line -- from a rack lined with Crayola-colored gems. I'm ready to play in the crayon box, and have been having particular fun wearing my marigold and purple booties with otherwise slate or black ensembles. When it comes to colored jeans, what say you?
During my daily trendspotting adventures I noticed a strong surge in super trendy grey winter coats with the styles ranging from a classic Pea Coat to various takes on the Swing Jacket for both men and women. After much bemoaning I finally threw away my wonderfully warm, but horribly worn grey coat in October.
Every winter and I do mean every, this hat rears its woolly head to descend upon the fashionable or not so fashionable masses. This season the tam hat trend seems to lean toward jewel colors worn at a variety of unusual angles.
Just like PopCrunch, I really couldn't help cracking up over this new fashion trend. These puppies are supposed to keep your feet warm during the winter months when you're at the nail salon waiting for your toes to dry. Honestly, if the nail salon where I'm getting my pedi doesn't have adequate heat during the winter months, I won't be back. However, I must admit if these socks were in a fun color and designed a bit sexier, I probably would rock them.
Fashionistas know that besides the usual holiday stress: shopping, cooking, cleaning, annoying in-laws, there is the duty of having the "right" holiday dress. Though I usually find silver dresses quite difficult to pull off, the surprisingly flattering geometric shapes peppered with black details, makes these dresses a must have this holiday season.
Okay, I have to be honest and confess that I wasn't even aware of this trend until fellow blogger Malcolm did a post about Pharrell rocking a custom made Birkin murse. Now, of course, I've seen them everywhere on both my g-boys and my straights. But as a female first and a fashionista second, I'm not so sure how comfortable I feel with men rocking oversized shoulder bags.
Every year, I flounder over 'weather' or not to purchase super sexy stylish, brand name rain boots or 'weather' to simply stick with my old boring galoshes, that frankly keep me dry but most certainly not fly.
Now it's easy for divas like Beyonce, to go from the grocery store to the red carpet in sequins. But what about the rest of us? This fall seems to be the season of sequins and not just for New Year's. This Bailey 44 dress dares to bring out the diva in you with its sassy leopard print and shiny detailing.
It seems that the trend of funky grandma jewelry continues. By creating this pendant in a matte finish silver and an unusual shape, designer Lauren Wolf gives this pendant necklace a new millennium twist.
One of the beautiful things about fall fashion is that there are no bad hair days thanks to hats. For fall 2007 the classic Bowler makes a return visit this time for both guys and gals.
There's some welcome news on the wide-leg vs. skinny leg debate for those who can't seem to make up their minds -- you can have it all. "You don't have to give up one for the other," a J Brand salesperson told StyleFile, which noted that even fashion sage Kate Moss can't seem to make up her mind, appearing in skinnies one day and wides the next. What do you prefer, these ultra-wides by Fashionista, or stick with skinny by Sass & Bide?
Would you kill for a blazer? When it comes to a certain must-have striped Balenciaga blazer, left, some women might. One British lady refused to leave department store Harvey Nichols until the sales staff agreed to sell her one of the waiting-list-only $2,650 jackets, reports Vogue.com. It's not exactly the same, but this striped slim-fit alice + olivia cardigan could fit the bill and at a fraction of the price. Just add kaffiyeh, skinny trousers and some brow makeup and you're there.
How will you rock your tweeds for fall? Just a little bit as an accent, as with these tweed pumps by Stuart Weitzman or will you go full throttle with this slim-fitting tweed jacket by Nanette Lepore?
Worn as a dress cinched with belt or thrown over a favorite pair of jeans, the chunky, oversized knit sweater is a fall favorite, especially in grey. So which would you wrap around yourself, this sweater coat by AdamPlusEve, or this lambswool cardigan by BCBG MaxAzria?

It's no life-or-death choice, but which metallic ballet flat would you pick -- Dolce & Gabbana or Prada? Dolce's are cute, with PVC peekaboo cutouts, while Prada's are squishy enough to be tucked into your purse for when those platforms give you corns.
Gray and purple are big colors for fall, so which do you want more? We've got a cute gray dress by Tart lined up against a violet shift by Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent.
Suede ankle boots from Miu Miu. Just the thing to throw on with a short dress and long legs in tights, or perhaps you've grown tired of booties already.
Marc Jacobs' fall 2007 collection gave us the wide-brimmed hat, and a prim, adult, buttoned-up look that was more retro than future. Elle's put the giant hat on it's list of must-have accessories for fall, but do you agree with them? Do you want to spend fall looking like you're on your way to a tea party? Or does Marc see the future of fashion?
A new fall silhouette is coming soon, so it's time to check out some wide-leg high-waisted trousers, this pair by Alice + Olivia. The high waist has been seen in shorts and jumpers all summer long, and on runways long before that, but are you ready for that mom-jeans look?
C3 puts the cash in cashmere with this navy crewneck sweater knit with a giant pink dollar sign. It's pretty funny, and it's on sale, but would you wear it?
