Seeing the world through rose colored glasses. These looks make me want to jump on the next plane because Paris is always a good idea...

fall trend: dance hall days

I was watching Step Up and it got me thinking about all these great dancewear inspired pieces for fall. These looks may inspire you to get a little footloose cause nobody puts baby in a corner...

I first heard about Monica Botkier's handbags in Lucky magazine a few years ago. It was an article dedicated to emerging designers which I used for a project at FIDM. She was a fashion photographer who wanted a bag that was both stylish and functional which inspired her to design the Trigger.

Many were skeptical after the success of that style whether she would be able to come up with another hit design. Then came along the Bianca which is just as if not more fabulous than the first. Her Fall 2007 collection includes these two iconic styles as well as some other amazing creations:

Trigger



Bianca



Bryant



Nomad



Sascha



Cairo



Nightfall

fall trend: mary janes

I know it seems early to be talking about fall. It's only the beginning of August (I understand, I love summer too). But as you may have noticed the stores have already been getting their fall merchandise in. I am really excited about the fabulous looks I have already seen...so now begins my trend forecast for the fall season. Enjoy!


There are alot of cute mary jane styles already out for fall. They were seen in fall runway shows and it's nice to see that there are some options out there already in stores. The patent leather styles are particularly hot for fall. Match these with a pencil skirt and romantic blouse for the perfect work outfit.
