Socks With Sandals
On the runway, I think it’s sort-of cute, the whole school-girl inspired socks trend. And on Barbie, it looks just adorable. But in real life, very few can pull off this trend. And often when they try, it’s disastrous.

Cropped Jackets
The boyfriend blazer is my go-to choice when I’m wearing my denim leggings or a mini. But it’s overpowering with a basic pair of slacks. A cropped jacket, on the other hand, is just right. I especially like them worn over a fluid long top as shown at Vanessa Bruno.

Graphic Prints
Graphic prints certainly aren’t new but I was mesmerized by the digital versions at Elie Saab. You can see more of the pixilated prints over at Red Carpet Fashion Awards.

John Galliano revisited Dior’s 1947 New Look for Christian Dior’s spring couture show. For fall ready-to-wear, many other designers joined him in creating a new New Look. Alexander McQueen’s theatrical creations stood out the most. But my favorite was Louis Vuitton’s more wearable suit. Instead of the post-War sloping shoulders, designer Marc Jacobs kept to the 80s trend with shoulder pads. And the hot pink lined peplum added a playful touch.

I didn’t mind when Carrie Bradshaw skipped around NYC in a bandeau top. But no offense, I just really don’t feel like seeing everyone’s stomach when I step out to get a green tea latte. Bare midriffs should stay in Britney Spears’ Circus.
