Socks? or no socks?

From Alexander Wang

What do you think of the sock trend for Spring? I haven’t yet decided either way (I mean, I was a convert to the shorts-and-tights trend and I thought I hated it at first)…this post from Nasty Gal may convince me to give it a try.

At least it is an inexpensive trend!

Christopher Kane 2010

While Cathy Horyn criticized Christopher Kane’s Fall 2010 line as “matronly” and “sickly sweet”, I actually find it quite pretty. For example, this one here intrigues me with all the lace and embroidery.

Fashion Show - DVF

I was paging through photos of the Fall 2010 line from Diane von Furstenberg. I actually like the look -very dark with a dash of color or glitter here and there-and would have to say that photo #23 is my absolute favorite of this collection.

Apparently new talent Wes Gordon is a fellow to keep an eye on in upcoming months. We shall see what he has to bring to the table!

Vanessa Bruno

This morning I was paging through the outfits from Vanessa Bruno’s Spring-Summer 2010 collection. I can’t download a photo, but my favorite item is shoe #59 – platform sandals. I think the most intriguing part of it is the leather/cotton jersey contrast, which you could easily replicate with your leather sandals this spring (I hope I get a chance to try!). Just be sure your ankles aren’t too thick before you try this style: ankle straps already draw attention, and cotton jersey is only going to draw more.

High Fashion Temporary Tattoos?

Believe it or not, yes.

The models showcasing Chanel’s Spring 2010 collection wore chain-link temporary tattoos around their wrists and legs. I am quite taken by this look though I know for certain I would NEVER be able to pull it off myself.

If you also like the look and could wear it well, you could go the cheap “I want the same look for less” route or you could wait until mid-February and invest in the Chanel packet of 55 temporary tattoos selling for $75. It could be your new spring accessory!
