Fall 2010 Trends I can and can't live without...

Hey Guys....Whoa! So much has happened since I last sat down to write my blog...My most favorite time of year 'Summer' came and went, the absolute BEST fashion season 'Fall' came and went, the least pressure ridden holiday called 'Thanksgiving' came and went and here we are...heading into 'Winter' and the Holiday shopping madness of 'Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa' or 'whatever you celebrate'!?!

OK so here are a few of my own Fashion thoughts of the 2010 Season:

The Best Trends this year so far: Animal, Feathers and Fur! Mink Fur on Vest, Leopard printed fur on belts & boots, Crocodile Leather on Handbags & biker jackets, and Feather rocker chic earrings! It's like I am re-living my Joan Jett days of the 80's all over again but this time I have more appreciation for it, no braces or bangs and well more....money to spend:)


Trends I have had to embrace as a mid '30'something year old: The Jegging! Ok so my staff and I debated whether or not our customers would 'get' them and wear these like a year ago. We decided it wasn't quite ripe yet...Well, I brought some in in October and tried one on myself. HOLY CRAP! I friggin adore my Jeggings?! Like Wow. Comfortable, wearable, flattering on everyone (believe or not, I really haven't seen anyone not be able to pull these off, from my '20' somethings to my '60' somethings!) Jeggings will become a 2010-2011 STAPLE in your wardrobe.

The Trend I refuse to embrace: The Legging worn with your BUTT hangin out. Ok ladies what is the deal here? I just don't get it. Leggings are meant as a light layer to keep you warm under a sweater dress with boots or tunic shirt and ballet flats. But seriously come on, with a half shirt or sweater hitting just the top of your waist line? That was meant to be left "behind" back when Madonna was still trying to keep her marriage together with Sean Penn! ugh. I am just appalled every time I see a chick with her a$$ hanging out, and her thong showing through her 'oh so thin black leggings' meant only for her dogs eyes. And I behind by that!

So I promise it won't be long before I give you my next post...I've been brewing the next one for the past 3 months...A Fashion Foodie. My take on Boston's best Restaurants by neighborhood!
