Happy 2015 dear friends. After a prolonged period of festive
celebrations we are all returning to the grind of daily life! But it really all that blue and dreary is
it? Let us anticipate Spring and what
the new year will bring.
Having read Vogue’s piece about the top
trends n accessories for this year, I’ll give you a bit of a summary here. For those of you wishing to peruse the
article in its entirety, here it is. Of
these 7 trends, top spot goes to handbags – specifically the ITs with their
minimalist approach, included in this category are hands-free satchels.
Somewhat ho-hum if you asked me...
Second place, and my own favourite goes to Statement
Earrings. This is hardly surprising with
all that transpires today, making either a personal fashion or political statement would be on many people’s minds.
We all stand for something right? On the fashion front, Loewe’s shoulder dusters and Nina Ricci’s
mismatched earrings come to the fore as real eye-catchers.

The next 3 trends all have to do with the
feet…namely the Gladiator, Flats and Platforms!
Having back-to-back flats and platforms really suggests the modern angst
we live in today doesn’t it. It’s
downright schizophrenic in my humble opinion! Personally I scratched #5 from this list because I'm on the tallish side myself, and I hate the feeling as if walking on stilts - plus it makes me feel like Big Bird from Sesame Street when I have them on! Give me gladiator sandals to do battle with, or sensible flats any day.
#5!
The Gladiator!
In 6th place is another bag, the
Perfect Circle. Still on the minimalist
side and I too have a penchant for all things simple.
Finally bringing up the rear very nicely indeed
is the Obi Belt, simplicity and elegance, and a fitting way to tie up the list
of trends for the coming spring. Hope you've enjoyed the summary, and have a good, healthy and happy new year.

Have a Good One!
