There are some trends I got behind this year that aren’t for everyone. I’ve drunk the fashion koolaid if you will on some trends. Here are the ones that made it into my closet.

1. Jumpsuits – This really started at Fashion sCares, but I acquired several more jumpsuits over 2009.
2. Leggings – leather and liquid. I enjoyed getting my Member’s Only liquid leggings for cheap. I wore my Danier Leather legging to death in the fourth quarter of 2009
3. Skinny Jeans – like leggings, it took me awhile to wrap my head around skinny denim. It looks great with boots and now I have a hard time liking other styles. Figures just as the skinny trend is waning (perhaps?)
4. Harem pants – By the end of the year I had acquired a beautiful pair of harem pants from Biddell
5. Drop crotch pants – I got my first pair early in the year and I was lucky enough to get a pair of Biddell’s famous drop crotch denim.
6. Oversized Tshirts – The relaxed easy wearing nature of the style made it easy to buy in. Hello Complex Geometries.
7. Jean Leggings – I got a pair of Joe’s from Holt Renfrew PR. However, I think my skinny Second Yoga Jeans were very legging like too. More sturdy also. I got those before the jean leggings fad.

I love the strong shoulder and thigh high boot trend, but it was somethings that I never made it to my closet.

i got: Marc by Marc Jacobs Tobo Handbag

Marc by Marc Jacobs Tobo Handbag

The Oracle stared at my Weekend Bag by m0581. “This”, he said complete with hand gestures, “has to go.” It’s true, my beautiful robin’s egg blue bag had seen better days.

So for Christmas, I received theMarc by Marc Jacobs Tobo Handbag as a replacement. I helped pick it out too. I love the colour and the fact it’s made out of neoprene. The neoprene has the letter of Marc by Marc Jacobs embedded in the fabric but it’s not in order.

The Marc by Marc Jacobs Tobo Handbag is available at Holt Renfrew.

I’m hear to talk style for the SpinTO party on May 15, 2009 (Friday!!!). I don’t have my outfit yet. I have a back up plan, that’s the gold plan. I have another idea, but it’s more sporty than gold. With an unlimited budget however my Sporty SpinTO party outfit would be amazing. So, I thought I would dream up an “i want” SpinTO style.

My favourite pieces are from ThreeASFOUR

I’m head over heels for this catsuit. Paired with a sheer tunic or tank top, sigh!

Of course there is the hotter than hell Alexander McQueen legging and top combo.

You can do it Prada Style.

I’m particularly fond of the yellow House of Holland bicycle shorts. I pair it with a nice white racerback tank.

Or Alexander Wang, who even showcased bicycle shorts in leather for Fall 2009. They aren’t pictured because they are kinda ugly.

SpinTO is a perfect event to showcase the bike short trend that has been gaining strength throughout the last few seasons. My choices are from Resort 2009 through Fall 2009. Here are a few examples of websites talking up the bike short trend: Style Bubble: Cycling into Spring and The Coveted: The Return of The Bicycle Short?.

It’s safe to say whatever I’ll be wearing on Friday it will be tight. I hope to see you there. Get your tickets now.

SpinTO is a fundraising project that kicks off with a party on May 15 celebrating the 600 km Friends for Life Bike Rally from Toronto to Montreal in support of the Toronto People with AIDS Foundation.

This project will be lead by a community-media site at SpinTO.ca, a place where stories about the journey riders in the Rally will be told through new media including blogging and video podcasting. These stories will continue to be told well beyond the kick-off party leading up to the ride to Montreal taking place in July 26-31, 2009. SpinTO has been organized by a team of community contributors, led by Mark Kuznicki and Adam Schwabe, both riders in the 2009 Bike Rally.
