Back in August, everyone ( with their brains finely tuned into this realm we call fashion) anticipated sipping on bottle water while munching on invisible super saturated buttered popcorn with the hopes of seeing their fairy godmother on screen. Yes it was your first shot at seeing Anna Wintour at her best on screen no less. Who can resist that shrewd look of annoyance and utter disgust? La Mer Lifting Face Serum couldn’t penetrate itself beyond that Teflon skin Anna wears so well. I wasn’t eager to slap my cash on seeing the movie in an actual theater, so I will fully admit (right here and now ) that I had seen the entire film online! Don’t ask me where because I would never tell you. As I sat up for an hour and fifty minutes on my couch (with my coffee in one hand and a cigarette …

Wow, what a difference a few months can make after the fact! If you remember, it didn’t take long for fashion snitches to drop a dime on generating yet again another reason for shoppers to create havoc on their checking accounts. Everyone basked in the glory of Balmainia! With every click of the mouse, and each blink of the eye – you couldn’t help but to repeat the name at least ten times before actually memorizing it – BALMAIN, BALMAIN, BALMAIN! Show stopping indeed, price killing of course, but that didn’t stop shoppers for maxing out their credit cards. If you are a celebrity, you’ve got the right connections, stylists, & money to make all things possible. Rihanna, Beyonce, & Victoria Beckham were at a “neck to neck” race – making weekly rounds in pricey Balmain jackets & accessories. And we can least not forget those …

The clock is ticking down to the end of 2009. So today I’m going to try my best to recap the year’s top trend highlights (as best as I can). Alright so we left off with talking about Rihanna’s style & the “no bottoms” trend that plagued camera lenses this year. So let’s go back to the month of March! Marc Jacobs has a busy schedule…only one can wonder how he manages to keep up his own clothing lines in addition to being the creative head behind the Louis Vuitton brand. But what really threw me off this year, was Fall of 2009’s set of high priced ($350 USD) bunny rabbit ears. Stylists and fashion enthusiasts loved the look so much that they’ve spend hours (and a day) admiring the look. I (on the other hand) just didn’t get it! I didn’t love the look what so ever! …

A few days ago Fabsugar Australia revealed the latest designer collaborations Topshop has to offer online shoppers in the new year. As you know Topshop has been spinning out very stylish looks & collaborations with designer Christopher Kane this year. Now for 2010 we can all look forward to seeing designers Ashish, Ann Sofie Back, & Jonathan Saunders to dress the backs of would be shoppers starting next month. As you already know celebrities always manage to get first dibs on pretty much everything & anything. In November, Rihanna was spotted trekking around London in a fully studded sweat suit, which I’ve been searching high & low for (not because I wanted it, just out of sheer curiosity). Come to find out the actual sweat suit set has been created by none other than Topshop from their latest designer collaboration set. And I thought that we’d …

(We forgot to mention Trend Flashback #004 – so let’s scroll back on one)

This year has been a very interesting year….trust me! I think that I’ve had my full share of seeing celebrities stream around town in nothing less than a pair of tights, pumps, and a jacket. It’s like everyone decided to opt out of wearing the necessary staple that completes an entire outfit. Hence Lindsay Lohan who went on a free-for-all self-promotion of her 6126 legging collection, which featured some very interesting, looks. However, she’s stepped out of bounds rocking oversized T-shirts & boyfriend jackets – pairing them with hosiery instead of her trademark leggings. Taylor Momsen is fashion’s renegade who has taken her love of thigh-highs to the outer limits. She’s been spotted on numerous occasions throughout the Meatpacking District in a pair of semi-destroyed fishnet thigh highs accommodated by double layered cotton T-shirts. …
