World Travelers April 6

Colour & Trends, Handbags

There’s something about ethnic looks that just keeps the fashion world coming back again and again. This year it’s all about the accessories, especially handbags inspired by Central or South America and the American Southwest.  For a look that says pure folklore, colourful fabric prints and South American woven buckets and tote bags make an unexpected accent on a casual urban outfit. For something a little less literal, we love the idea of leather or canvas bags with a panel or inset of a patterned ethnic fabric, like repurposed Navajo blankets or folky printed cotton. And if bright colourful fabrics aren’t your thing, try a neutral leather bag with tonal embroidery and whipstitching for a more sophisticated summer look. READ MORE +

Feathered Friends April 5

Colour & Trends, Footwear, Handbags, Jewelry

Feather1

Feathers in jewelry and accessories have been an ongoing trend now for several seasons, and they show no sign of letting up. The newest feather earrings have traded single bold plumes for softer fluttering multiples with a fringe tassel look, but extra long feather earrings still have a major presence here in the States. When it comes to hair accessories, anything goes, from flat barrettes to statement headbands. The looks are spanning from tribal-bohemian to luxury glamour, or in the case of Dior’s highly anticipated spring footwear, a bit of both. And with designers like Roberto Cavalli showing fabulous new feather jewelry and accessories for fall, we expect this trend to continue. READ MORE +

Snake Charmers March 31

Colour & Trends, Footwear, Handbags, Sunglasses

Snake1

We must admit, we are amazed that the world’s current love affair with snake has gone on for so long. But when designers keep turning out fabulous new shoes, bags and accessories, and now also ready-to-wear pieces, it’s hard to resist displaying our affection! In the natural tone versions, python-inspired prints serve as a neutral that is anything but basic—the soft white, gray, brown and black patterns are eye catching but not overpowering, and they go with just about anything. There is a great new batch of snake looks in the stores this month, from casual slip-on shoes for men and women to smokin’ high heels, as well as handbags small and large. Watch out also for snake detail on sunglasses! READ MORE +

Oxford Education March 30

Look out, ballerinas—there’s a new flat in town. Masculine lace-up oxfords have stepped out as the hot new alternative to the tried-and-true feminine slip-on for spring. These latest additions to the casual-dress hybrid repertoire play up the menswear trend more than ever, featuring toe caps and classic wingtip details. Some versions even go one step further with beefy extension soles. Not to mention that most of these masculine-inspired brogues are turning up in equally masculine-inspired neutrals, from crisp spectator white and black to vintagey tans, grays and browns. Whether clean and structured or soft and broken-in, the look is tailored, androgynous, and decidedly forward. READ MORE +

Summer Lace March 29

SummerLace 1

Looking for a spring fling that’s romantic, feminine and sexy all at the same time? Fling on some lace! It’s hardly new, but once again lace is stepping out of the boudoir for spring and summer fashion, and it’s hotter than ever. The key to updating frilly lace for a current look is by contrasting it with something tougher. Our fashionistas in NYC have been spotted anchoring their sheer, floaty, white lace dresses (a major spring must-have) with strong leather jackets and accessories in black and brown. Another fresh look is coloured lace. The new lace handbags and shoes are also anchored, either trimming or backing feminine lacey fabrics with leather, coarse wovens, and even clear plastic at Dolce & Gabbana. We’ve also spotted some lace jewelry with a tougher edge, like these tattoo-inspired crochet necklaces by Lorina. READ MORE +
