Bargain boots

I decided to stop into the Ross on Market in S.F. I came out with this great pair of boots for $25--Yes please!

Folsom Street Fair

   Today was the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco. For those of you who may not know what this event is, let me explain. This is basically an event for people who have leather, dominatrix, and just plain strange fetishes. This year was the 27th celebration. It is a very popular San Francisco event with nearly 400,000 people in attendance and the event covers 13 city blocks!
On my bart ride home I encountered several scantily clad, leather-wearing, folsom street fair attendees. I was highly disappointed that I did not have my camera so that I could snap a real shot and post it here, but it was probably for the best as I saved you the horror of seeing an actual picture.

Feathers!

The necklace on the left is absolutely amazing. This is part of the advertisement for Forever 21's Twelve by Twelve line. I can't find the necklace on the online store. I am going to have to hunt for it! Why would you feature something and then not sell it?

Wish list Wednesday

Looking at magazines and blogs on an almost daily basis makes it apparent that there are many things you would love to pretend are in your own closet. That is why I am going to instate Wish list Wednesdays here on my blog where I post some of the things I've found a desire to own. They may never become part of my real closet but I'll sure have a fabulous wish closet! P.S. My favorite item is the "Lorissa" studded heels. They would make any outfit glam! I'd love to pair them with a simple LBD or even a great pair of dark wash skinny jeans, a tee and a boyfriend blazer. Love them!

Bugging out (literally)

I am so excited! Last quarter for my Concepts in Trend Forecasting Class we chose a megatrend to present to our class. I chose a seemingly obscure topic: bugs. Usually when we think of bugs it's with disgust but we should really be starting to think about them in terms of what role they may play in fashion. Let's face it, bugs are gross but they are also fascinating. So when I saw my trend starting to appear in designer collections I was elated. One such designer who has  picked up on the bug trend is Bottega Veneta. The current accessories collection called Nature in Fashion features bugs as centerpieces of their design. The bug they mainly feature is the Scarab Beetle. Just look at these amazing items:
