Fall/Winter 2010 Fashion Trend: Red

Another of the most popular hues on the AW2010 runways (in addition to camel) was red(Above: Giorgio Armani, Milly, Maison Martin Margiela, Antonio Berardi)! For some reason I don't own a lot of red items myself, but I really do like the color, although I'm not sure if I could pull off a head-to-toe red look as pictured above. I am, however, absolutely drooling over the Halston Heritage "Brandy" bag below and I am seriously stalking it so that I can pick it up the second it goes on sale! I think that a red accessory really is a staple piece in any woman's wardrobe and I'm happy to see that it is such a trendy color this fall! In the event that you are liking this trend, below are some red-hot items to consider: Cym & Ripple coat for $188 on www.anthropologie.com; Halston Heritage "Brandy" braided handle satchel for $495 on www.shopbop.com; Dolce Vita "Hayword" platform pump for $158 on www.nastygal.com; BB Dakota "Whitman" dress for $80 on www.shopbop.com; House of Cassette skinny jeans for $131 on www.80spurple.com; Patterson J.

Fall/Winter 2010 Fashion Trend: Ladylike Top-Handle Bags

If you are thinking about picking up a new handbag this fall/winter, the top-handle satchel is one of the must-have bags of the season. Remember that this fall/winter it is all about gender extremes -- either super masculine or uber feminine -- and a ladylike satchel is right in keeping with the feminine trend. Top-handle satchels were in all of the major collections on the AW2010 runways (Above: Gucci, Marni, Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabanna). Admittedly, this trend may not be super practical for the businesswoman or the mom-on-the-go since they are meant to be held in your hand or in the crook of your elbow, but not on your shoulder. Personally, I love this trend because it suits my girly aesthetic, but I know that I would find myself getting annoyed with not being able to throw the bag over my shoulder. That is why many designers are adding a detachable cross-body strap to the top-handle satchels, which I think is a great idea to make the bag more appealing for everyday use. If you are in the market for a new handbag this fall/winter and you are liking this trend, below are some options to consider, many of which contain the cross-body strap option: ASOS faux ostrich lady bag for $53.92 on www.asos.com; ASOS tassel frame bag for $109.53 on www.asos.com; B. Makowsky "Lincoln" satchel for $268 on www.macys.com; ASOS faux croc bar day bag for $60.66 on www.asos.com; Marc Jacobs "Rubik" stam quilted bag for $995 on www.bloomingdales.com; Nine West "Sappheir" satchel for $120 on www.ninewest.com; MICHAEL Michael Kors "Hamilton" satchel for $268 on www.macys.com; Marc by Marc Jacobs "Classic Q Little Ukita" satchel for $398 on www.bloomingdales.com; Kate Spade "New York Five Points Camille Femme" satchel for $475 on www.bloomingdales.com; Coach "Kristin" satchel for $358 on www.macys.com.

Fall/Winter 2010 Fashion Trend: Fur Everywhere

Last fall it was all about the fur (real or faux) vest. This fall fur vests are still on-trend, but fur was also spotted on the AW2010 runways on coats, bags, and shoes as well (Above: Lanvin, Michael Kors, Valentino, Chanel). Basically, this fall and winter the more fur the better and not just on your clothes, but on your accessories as well. I am sort of impartial to fur myself. It doesn't get me all excited, but then again I am all for staying warm but looking good while doing so! I've managed to locate a few fun furtastic items for you to consider if you are interested in giving this trend a try. Below: ASOS "Fantasy" fur lady bag for $60.66 on www.asos.com; Aqua reversible faux fur vest for $138 on www.bloomingdales.com; Jack Rogers "Little Nell" suede short boots for $298 on www.saks.com; Deen & Ozzy faux fur turnlock clutch for $38 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Bamboo "Ceasar" buckle fur wedge bootie for $27.90 on www.urbanog.com; Via Spiga "Andria" faux fur jacket for $229.16 on www.bloomingdales.com; Nine West "Peekabo" crossbody bag for $59 on www.ninewest.com; Tinley Road faux fur jacket for $98 on www.piperlime.com; Sanctuary "Natalie" faux fur vest for $136 on www.piperlime.com; MICHAEL Michael Kors "Parker" faux fur clog booties for $198 on www.bloomingdales.com; Minus the fur embellished vest for $98 on www.express.com; Marc by Marc Jacobs "Cheeky Nico" mini fur bag for $498 on www.saks.com; Minus the fur grooved topcoat for $128 on www.express.com; L.A.M.B.
