I don't think it's possible for gladiator sandals to be any bigger than they were in 2008, but from the looks of things, 2010 is going to have its fair share of Greco-Roman footwear. Heavily strapped heeled versions are still readily available, and the boldest of this season's colors should make them extra dynamic

Cage sandals also started popping up last year, and the trend is still alive and well, although this year it's been passed by collar sandals and shoes..

Were ready for you spring weather!

3D Effects for spring

A little bit of 3D goes a long way. If you're going for more texture than drama, try the bandage dress or any one of its pleated and tiered spinoffs. For more experimental looks, try a dress like the one shown from Calvin Klein with its 3D folds.

::sighs:: completely in love with this.. dear h&m designers, get to work on this one please!

Sheer inspiration for spring..

The transparent trend can actually quite modest, when layered over other (solid) pieces like at Vera Wang. With a nude lining, shown here at Monique Lhuillier, the effect is ethereal. Illusion-top (sheer netting) dresses are another alternative and can be found at great prices.

One rule about wearing sheer: either buy lingerie that is meant to be seen (pretty camis, nude slips) or keep it completely out of sight.

Balenciaga for spring

Nicolas Ghesquière aka one of my most favorite designers, is about to bring quite a lineup for spring! "In the collage of elements, there were recycled fabrics and natural-looking hemp weaves, and a sidelong tribalism in the urban-warrior eye makeup and footwear. The street element had some of the flavor of the hit "student" collection of Fall 2007, and it will certainly give license to young women—and the vendors of fast fashion—to look at sweats and gym skirts in a whole new, highly commercial light." Understandably most of us could not afford this exact outfit, but stores like forever 21, guess and metro park have nailed the imitation of many of these items! Check it out ladies

New year

2010 is shaping up to be the most interesting year of my life. I have recently made a lot of changes in my career and education and im hoping to find new inspiration and motivation! Starting a blog is something I have been meaning to do for many years so I figure, now's the time. Exciting potential job interview on Friday and entering my last semester at school, stay tuned for updates while I figure out the world of blogging!
