What's a hot fashion trend for some...

combining girlie and edgy pieces!

Fashion Design Trends Combing Girlie & Edgy Pieces 2010 Pictures

Girlie and edgy paired together is a style trend I'm having a hard time wrapping my aesthetic sense around, but here it is and I suppose, as it usually happens, this look will start to make sense at some point. Anyway, Jessica of What I Wore blog put out a style challenge to fellow fashion bloggers to pair something girlie and sweet with something rougher and edgier. This look is by Kate of O My Heart blog. This look reminds me of a look worn by Sarah Jessica Parker in the new Sex In The City movie. You can see all the looks bloggers put together at Jessica's blog.

Today I'm wishing it were summer or at least spring-but here in California it's more like winter with almost nonstop cold rain! So to brighten my spirit I was looking online for things that scream summer and this rattan clutch jumped out at me! This Tory Burch clutch purse is rattan with a metallic leather strip and logo hardware. It has a leather flap and magnetic closure and it measures 4" H x 10" W x 3" D.

Isn't this a cool summer look! This dress look- pictured at the top- is styled and modeled by Second Skin blog.

Coach Handbags New Leather Bag Karla's Closet for Coach Clutch Purse







Isn't this a hot...

vintage inspired Coach handbag!

Coach Handbags New Leather Bag Karla's Closet for Coach Clutch Purse 2010 Pictures

This is the new Karla's Closet for Coach bag-designed in collaboration with Karla of Karla's Closet blog. Yes, this is a vintage inspired bag, as we would guess, it's a style Karla would and should design! But isn't this a hip oversize clutch bag! I love the strapping detail, the turn-lock closure and the chain on the strap, and, of course, the strap is removable to make it a true clutch purse. This bag looks like it's made of pebbled leather which I love!

Reef Sandals Women's Comfortable Flip Flop Sandals Spring Summer 2010







It's flip-flop-season...

and aren't these cool!


Reef Sandals Women's Comfortable Flip Flop Sandals Spring Summer 2010 Picture

Aren't these flip flop sandals cool looking! These are by Reef. This is the Reef Laiser Butter 2 and I'm loving the look of this sandal! Even though they're flip flops they have leather straps and a leather foot bed! What I really love about these beside the color and pattern is the one inch heel height-I hate those super flat flip flops that you see everywhere-they kill my feet! Reviewers report that these are comfortable and long lasting!
You can find these and other Reef sandals at Zappos.com.

Aren't these ruffled tops pretty. I see ruffles everywhere and, as yet, have not purchased a single ruffled piece. I discovered these tops at J. Crew. They're both pretty and look so versatile! I could dress them up for an evening out or wear them with jeans for a fun day shopping! Ruffles used to be limited to young girls but now ruffles are for everyone!
