I have been a longtime fan of the zipper. Whether it is on a shoe, purse, pants, or a dress i love it. This adornment is edgy and brings an element of punk to whatever it is found on. Zippered looks were prevalent on the runway during last season's Spring/Summer 09 fashion week. We are now seeing zippers off the runway and in ready to wear styles and accessories.
Exposed zippers: Michael Kors
Zipped accessories: Kate Cusack
Zippered shoes: Pierre Hardy
I can't get enough of it. I want zippers on everything.
Love it?

Spring's Sassy Trend: ZIP IT UP
Wednesday, January 28, 2009
Go shopping at the Catherine Malandrino Maison!
If you want to ignore the fact that we are in an economic recession and refresh your wardrobe you should head out to the Catherine Malandrino Maison and Cafe on La Cienega. They are having an amazing 70% off of all Fall/Winter 08 merchandise. The set up of the boutique is designed to make it feel like an intimate home. The cafe is also done by the same people as the Little Next Door. Instead of waiting an hour in line this Saturday for brunch at the Little Next Door, head over to the Catherine Malandrino Maison and boutique for some rest and relaxation. Nothing screams weekend like shopping and eating!

Raising the Bar- Above the knee boots
This season I've been noticing a rising trend of women wearing above the knee boots. As a Culturista with a self-proclaimed boot obsession, I am dying for a pair. I like them paired with tights/leggings and a tunic, or alternatively with a dress or mini-skirt. If you are feeling a bit edgy, pair the boots with high waisted shorts and black opaque tights.

Fall Fashion is approaching!
It's mid August....Fall is rapidly approaching. For many fashionista's, Fall can't come soon enough. If I see another flip flop, jean skirt or spaghetti strap tank top I might start berating people and passing out pictures of fall trends to speed up the process as fast as humanly possible. So without further adieu, here is the trend list for fall 2008!
PLAIDS PLAIDS AND MORE PLAIDS!!!!!
I have been waiting for cute plaid options since well...here. The silhouette is very layered. In the Tory Burch version you see the model is wearing a dress with a sweater and a jacket over it- as well as socks with booties! LOVE IT. Tailored jackets, scarves, wide leg pants-- still coming in for Fall!
D&G Fall 2008 
Tory Burch Fall 2008
THE LONG SILHOUETTE: Long skirts, dresses, coats, pants.
Designers are still bringing the ultra long wide leg pant (as seen above). Long maxi dresses are still in (though for Fall you are going to want to layer layer layer them!!) 
Carlos Miele Fall 2008
I love the look of the tailored jacket
with it's sleeves rolled up.And it looks like
the maxi skirt is back!!
Vivienne Westwood Fall 2008
Maxi dress with long sleeves for Fall!
Minimalist: Clean lines, simple color scheme.
This trend is almost always in. And you will always look chic in a simple black and white ensemble!
Doo.Ri Fall 2008
Don't get rid of your opaque stockings!!
They look fab with this white dress!
Givenchy Fall 2008
Never underestimate the simple, stylish
and sexy look of a coat with boots!
Fall Florals: Florals are still in for Fall 2008! Though most of the florals are in darker fall color palates you can keep what you already have and modify it for fall---i.e. wear it with opaque stockings, boots or jackets.
Malandrino Fall 2008
This look is gorgeous with the booties
and gloves! 
Behnaz Sarafpour Fall 2008
I'm still loving these watercolor like florals!
The waist cinching is very flattering!
TEXTURES!! Textures from lace to feathers, suede or brocade!
Marchesa Fall 2008
Textures are very big this Fall---lace,
feathers etc etc! 
Dries Van Noten Fall 2008
This lush brocade with fur are a great
textury combo!
