I have only ten days left until I leave NYC! What I am going to miss the most about the big city is the selection of towering shoes that make their presence felt while stomping ground on the cold concrete pavements. And with each new season that comes around, there is an annual upgrade of our most dependable trends. Case in point…the wedge style shoe! But wait! The runways have already determined what we should look for while shopping for this trend. Think bold printed exteriors, exaggerated wedge heels, embellishments (minimal or extreme). And if you are wondering what can solidify your belief that this trend will actually work for you – try to think about what items are a constant staple in your closet space. Off the top, we’ll match skirts & dresses with a unique pair of wedge styled shoes. But for 2010, try incorporating a …

Minimal – that is the latest forecast for this spring. If you’ve already noticed that this season’s collections have been clean, basic, and straight to the point. The winter season is still upon us, but as you already know the retail sector is always a two seasons ahead. In other words, you’ll have ample time to collect your thoughts on which trends to work with for the upcoming spring transition. Fanny packs…there is something about a fanny, bum bag, belt back – (whatever you would like to call it ) that brings some kind of usefulness into your daily lifestyle. Yeah, some of us automatically think that senior citizens or tourist fawn over the look of the fanny pack. But you might want to reconsider the notion. Marc Jacobs obvious had more than just ordinary handbags on his mind. Jacobs took his love for the “fanny pack” above …

If you don’t know already, I’m in the process of moving out of state….and I’ve been frantically packing to the point where I’ve already found myself in a partially confused state. Leaving the concrete jungle is hard enough, but my new journey will feature the hot sun & mellow moods of the south. But that will never take away from my love of the urban set. With the new year only 18-days in the sneaker selections have been upgraded. My wallet set on adding some new additions to my sneaker collection. I’ve already found myself blinking heavily at the Air Jordan 6 Retro (GS) sneaker (too bad for not having small feet…right?). I can remember when the original model first debuted. I was young, and finally coming into my own personality set, ah…I’m already having serious flashbacks of my days in elementary school. And what female sneaker fiend can …

Denim, what is there to say other than it has to be the quintessential must have item to have in your entire wardrobe. Whoever deems it necessary to live without a pair of denim must have one boring outlook on fashion. There are just so many brands & interesting styles to choose from! Skinny jeans have had its share of pro’s and cons seen on various body types, leaving fashion junkies in a constant battle behind the trend as a whole. I on the other hand still battle (at times) with the skinny jean – but can vouch heavily on rocking them with a pair of calf-length boots. Then comes the re-birth of the ever so popular boyfriend jean, which I have to say that I wasn’t really feeling at first. Thanks to the saggy crotch & awkward fit. But I can always welcome that comfort factor that looks …
