The bloggers from b5media’s Beauty & Style channel are definitely excited about fashion these days! You can check out our top picks for Spring 2008, or if you prefer to think ahead – Fall 2008.

That I need something to warm me up! Now admittedly, these boots would do the trick with the nasty blizzard that’s hit my neck of the woods (-40 wind chill is just too darn cold)

But they’re not quite what I’m thinking about….

Perhaps paired with this whimsical handbag from Braccialini?

Now that’s the way to chase away the winter blues!
Of course, you could also enter to win a sleek, steel bracelet as well

I apologize for the lack of posts around here lately   The combination of  a cold & my studio computer having issues has made posting difficult.
But I’m back, with a functioning computer and mostly recovered from my cold…
So let’s get to the fashion!
These are from John Galliano’s Spring 2008 collection in Paris:

Yes, it’s a typically John Galliano collection – but once you strip away the extreme makeup & look at wearing it as accent pieces, there are some fantastic accessories in there!
