i want: Louis Vuitton Spring 2010 Accessories

Something is very wrong with me, I like some of the handbag offering from Louis Vuitton this season. I’m usually someone that only likes the Damier Azur canvas. I don’t know, maybe it was the music from the Spring 2010 show or the colours, but some of these bags are looking good. Forget about the price for a moment as they are astronomical and just look at the fun design. I think it’s the colour schemes that gets me. The colours are vibrant and well matched. images: nitrolicious.com

Winners Spring 2010 Preview

Winners PR holds season previews. I was surprised when I received an invitation to the Spring 2010 preview. Why would an off-season retailer hold a preview for the current season when what they sell is from last spring. It was getting all confused in my head as I grasped for answers. It wasn’t forthcoming so I had to see for myself. The showroom was well put together. There were sections that featured the themes and trends for the Spring 2010 season. There was even a little section for Stylesense. I browsed through the racks and noted items liked. I saw a lot of the following trends: sport animal print in belts, shoes, handbags neutrals big in clothing, shoes and handbags Denim – all flavours, even the jean legging Leather – real and faux. Lots of neutral leather Bright jewellery – either colour or sparkly bright watches a la Toywatch styles Belts were studded, jewelled and animal printed. Gladiator sandals aren’t going anywhere, if anything more embellished Ruffles As I was browsing, I kept thinking about …
