Fall Trends

Okay, I guess it's too early for fur.  I don't know about you, but as soon as the Fall '10 shows were over I was ready for some of the new trends.  Kitten heels?  I pulled those out right away.  Thank you Michelle Obama.  Head to toe color?  I'm from New York where most of us already wear head to toe black, so that won't be much of a change.  I was very intrigued by the floor sweeping skirt and pant lengths.  I pulled out a pair of my longest pants and for the entire day my heel kept getting caught in the bottom of the pants.  I was lucky I didn't wind up in a cast, but my legs looked super long, so I'll probably do it again.  The long skirts I'm not as sure about.  It seems very Family Ties to me, but we'll see.

Some more trends...

Menswear.  Is this new?  No, but it's so good, I'm glad it's still around.  Gold.  Have you seen Balmain's gold pants or Dries Van Noten's simple gold dress?  Sooo good.  Maybe in a few months I'll be ready for fur.  Faux, of course.  The 50s?  Prada and Louis Vuitton did it best.  I can't wait to see how it trickles down to H&M. 

Right now I'm on the lookout for others working the trends early.  I'll keep you posted.
