NEW YORK FASHION WEEK TRENDS: ACCESSORIES

I stumbled across these beauties while looking for more awesome trends showcased at New York Fashion Week. Cinched-in waists were seen all over from Ralph Lauren to Michael Kors – wide belts create a sexy hour-glass silhouette, and are the perfect addition to your pencil skirt.
Statement boots were all the rage. I love the different textures and finishes that were shown: suede, lace-up’s and stacked heels are still a firm favourite with designers. I liked the chic ‘country’ feel to the boots. My favourite? The stunning Marc Jacobs mid-calf boots!

High-drama neckpieces gave a polished look on the models sauntering down the catwalk. I loved this jeweled piece at Vera Wang – too beautiful! Accessories such as these are perfect addition to any outfit – even a plain black t-shirt! Look for inexpensive, yet trendy necklaces at your nearest Sass Diva or Accessorize. Bags are another way to instantly jazz up your outfit – Marc Jacobs and Ralph Lauren agreed. Structured, two-tone and mock-croc were the trends seen…quite corporate, but oh-so chic!


Watch Out For…

Speaking of fabulous accessories, I received a press release of the upcoming bags and shoes from Furla. Yes, they are a tad expensive – but so worth it! Think of it as an investment for your wardrobe and a treat to yourself for working so hard as a mother, wife and worker… Go on! We know you want to! All of these products will be available in March. Big trends seen in the Furla Winter 2010 Collection is the warm colour palette of citrus shades like camel, marmalade, fresh tangerine and dusty sands in traditional leathers and warm influenced suede’s. Don’t forget about animal prints this winter! From cheetah prints, reptilian prints to the favourite of mock-croc – get ready for the wild side of fashion!
