"Trend Reports"

One of my favorite things style.com does, is their "Trend Reports". They make shopping easier for people who are looking to add some new key pieces to their seasonal wardrobe, without the hassle of cut and paste. They also help by providing a slide show, which I have added the link to at the bottom of my post. The slide show consists, this time, of 135 pictures that scroll through each trend. Be careful to pay attention and read the heading of each picture, because the trend will change without you even noticing it.
I was a little disappointed however not to see much of Proenza Schouler or Zac Posen in the slide show. If your favorite designers are missing, check out style.com's link, at the bottom of my blog, which has a slide show for each major designer. Remember these "Trend Reports" are subjective, they are not set in sto

My new favorite past-time.

I was recently talking to a friend on the phone about people, meeting people, off of Craigslist. About five minutes into the conversation my friend and I were reading off posts to each other. I made her go onto a post which had a guy taking a picture of himself in the bathroom mirror wearing a beanie, an old red GAP sweatshirt and no pants! I almost died. His whole post was in Spanish, he was looking for a muchacho, I think...
Not only does Craigslist have personals they have a section for "platonic" encounters, "missed connections", and "rants and raves". I am currently signed up with an online dating site, but this is far better entertainment than I could have hoped for.
If you have a chance please check out craigslist.org for a cheap laugh.

Trends that I hope fail in 2010 By Renee Montoya

Remember when people wore spandex and there was a saying that went around "Just because you CAN wear them doesn't mean you SHOULD"? That is my thought on leggings. People and places to wear leggings: Gym, toddlers, models on the runway, at home, babies, running, and in bed. The grossest part about the legging fad, is that too many people get away wearing them and do not wear underwear with them.
When you buy a pair of workout pants or in this case work out leggings, there will be what I refer to as a 'cooter' pad in the inside so that undergarments are optional. When a pair of $12 leggings, like the ones shown from American Apparel are purchased, they come sans cooter pad. Nobody likes a VPL and a thong is not an option, since leggings are worn as a second skin.
Unfortunately for this trend leggings have evolved, using patterns, latex, zippers, and embellishments. I am hoping they continue their evolution into oblivion.

I want this... By Renee Montoya

I love that it looks like it was hand made, but the price kinda blows at $98 (anthropologie.com). I am waiting for this to go on sale, so that I can charge my iPhone in style and stop borrowing my brothers charger.
