I wrote about the upcoming fall handbag trends such as the tough rocker chic, high shine/metallics, animal prints and textures and of course, my favourite, grey handbags. However, those beautiful bags don’t necessarily fall into the ‘reasonable price range’ for many people. So I did a bit of sleuthing and found these super cute bags that play into all the top trends for fall but won’t take two month’s rent to buy.

Recently over in the Splendicity Community, we were talking about what brands of nail color that we use. Personally, I’m an OPI girl. It’s tried and true for me. But lately, I have experimented with a few other brands.
A few weeks ago, I tried Calvin Klein’s Splendid Color Unstoppable Color Nail Enamel in Bombshell and Barefoot. The Bombshell is a true red (I’m partial to dark shades rather than pastels). The color is bold and it’s very glossy, even with just one coat. This polish lasted quite a while without any chips — and I type all day every day.

The evening wear on the Fall runways was every kind of metallic and glittery. I’ve already covered the more uniform fabrics in metallics, and glitters, but another thing that is really blowing me away is the way metallics have been used to create patterns.
Metallic printing and sequins have been combined in a way on this Pucci gown that makes the shimmery fabric look like it is falling in waves. The ornately embellished bodice is balanced out by the delicate simplicity of the chiffon skirt.
The metallic sequins on this Calvin Klein gown are clustered into an almost giraffe print pattern. When …read more

I’ve written about my love of unique patent leather accessories before (Prada sfumato anyone?) and I know I wrote about Donna Karan’s “xenon oxide” pumps before… But I had to add Calvin Klein’s new “Saphire” asymetrical strap high heels in rainbow prism to my list of lusted-after shoes:
