My Lust List

As if I don't already have enough clothes and accessories, I have gathered together a list of items that I currently have my eye on (more like stalking obsessively until they go on sale!).

Fashion Do: Aviator Jackets

A fall trend that has been spotted recently on a lot of celebrities (Above: Nicola Roberts; Blake Lively; Unknown at fashion week; Alexa Chung), and probably made popular by Burberry's amazing AW2010 collection, is the leather aviator jacket. While leather moto jackets are still on-trend this fall, the aviator style (with the shearling collar) is gaining in popularity. Personally, I love this style and would love to pick one up, but since I already have two leather jackets (one black moto; one camel bomber) currently in rotation, it is hard for me to justify purchasing a third! However, I'm definitely putting the aviator jacket on my lust list because I really love the coziness of the shearling collar and how the jacket can dressed up or down. If you are loving this trend as much as I am below are some options to consider: ASOS leather aviator jacket with detachable faux fur collar for $202.20 on http://us.asos.com; ADAM leather shearling aviator jacket for $795 on www.bloomingdales.com; Guess? fuax leather aviator jacket for $88 on www.nordstrom.com; Juicy Couture denim bomber jacket for $298 on www.saks.com; Sparkle & Fade faux leather aviator jacket for $98 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Nine West leather bomber jacket with faux fur collar for $400 on www.ninewest.com; Shearling zip jacket for $58 on www.nastygal.com; Xhilaration faux shearling bomber jacket for $39.99 on www.target.com; Topshop fur collared aviator jacket for $170 on www.topshop.com; Express "minus the suede" shearling jacket on sale for $103.60 on www.express.com.

In Stores NOW: Mulberry for Target Handbag Collection


I told you in June that British handbag designer Mulberry will be creating a line of handbags for Target stores, which is now available in Target stores and on www.target.com until December 24th. Some of the bags from the line are pictured above: Patent small satchel for $34.99; Denim large quilted satchel for $49.99; Patent cross-body bag for $29.99; Denim mini quilted cross-body bag for $14.99; Denim small quilted satchel for $34.99. What do you think? I am really liking that they've steered clear of the pleather that is typically used in the For Target handbag collections and used denim and patent instead.

Summary of Fall/Winter 2010 Fashion Trends

I have finally finished posting my thoughts on this fall/winter's hottest fashion trends, which include:

Military
Wedge Boots and Booties
Chunky Knits
Camel
Retro Full Skirts
Embellished Heeled Pumps
Fur Everywhere
Ladylike Top-Handle Bags
Red
Cat Eye Glasses
Unconventional Outerwear
Menswear Shoes
Velvet
Mini-Bags
Gold
Lace-Up Footwear

For more details on each of these trends click here: http://cbusstyle.blogspot.com/search/label/Fall%2FWinter%202010%20Fashion%20Trends
.

The main theme this fall and winter is dressing in a gender extreme -- either ultra masculine with military-inspired pieces and menswear shoes or uber feminine with retro full skirts and ladylike top-handle bags. And, if you are wondering what to keep around from last fall/winter and what to get rid of, moto jackets, skinny jeans, over-the-knee boots, fur vests, and booties and shooties of any kind are all still on-trend. 80s-inspired items and the strong-shouldered trend that was so popular last fall/winter are on their way out. Happy shopping and, no matter what the current trends may be, remember to stay true to your own personal style!!!
