WHERE HAVE ALL THE STRAPS GONE?

I've been meaning to write about this for a while now, but what has been going on with shoulder bags lately? People have been doing this odd thing where they totally inconvenience themselves by holding their entire shoulder bag in their hand, rather than slinging it over their shoulder (where it belongs, might I add). My prediction is that the day clutch is the culprit behind this trend.

A few months ago, large chunky clutches began to parade around our city streets during the daytime. And people seem to have responded so positively to this trend that they want all of their bags to become day clutches. Even their shoulder bags. Hence the shoulder bag, strap dangling clutch was born. And if you don't live in New York City, and you're not used to seeing the birth of trends happen right before your eyes- here's proof.

FALL 2010 TRENDS: UNDERWEAR AS OUTERWEAR

Let's face it we all have them. There are some that no one will ever see and others you buy with the notion that someone will definitely see them. But lately, ladies have been taking their undergarments out of the bedroom and onto the streets sparking one of the biggest trends for Fall 2010- Underwear as Outerwear. Being a fan of loose fitting sheer tees and opulent undergarments, it doesn't take a lot to figure out why this is my favorite trend of the season. From the runways to the magazines and the streets, lingerie is out there to see and be seen.
Lacy bras layered under sheer blouses, slips paired with comfy knit sweaters and jean shorts with thigh highs and garter belts- this trend shows no signs of slowing down.

Think that wearing lingerie will give men the wrong idea? Well, in a recent poll 57% of men rated the body-con dress (think Herve Ledger) as promiscuous and "Lingerie as Outerwear" ranked at only 43%. That's less than half, ladies, proving that you are a lot less slutty if you just take off that skin tight dress and walk outside in your skivvies. Now that's something to think about.
