The Breakdown

The always forward-thinking Urban Outfitters has declared their picks for Fall 2010 trends. They have several options from each category, and the above are my favorites from each. In addition, some categories offer apparel, shoes, and accessories such as the pony hair and corduroy trends.

I decided to go with favs all under $100; however, if you have more or less in your budget than the items above, they have quite a variety of price points to choose from – see all Urban Outfitters 2010 Fall Trend Options.

This trend alert goes out to our Twitter bud @Dorie87! She tweeted us, “@TheLooksForLess can you tell me where i can get this purse or something similar? nicole richie http://preview.tinyurl.com/2e4q7lw“. Dorie, we’ve got your bag, I mean back, on this one :).

In the spirit of music festivals that have gone on non-stop all spring and summer, a trend that is catching like wildfire is the beautiful bright bohemian handbags. The common theme amongst all of these bags is the patchwork fabrics and the fully saturated hues of reds, blues, and greens with occasional hints of yellow. These handbags vary slightly in style – some are tiered messenger style bags, while others are very large and covered in fringe. Each tote brings a little peace and love into our hearts.

These bright bohemian patchwork bags are popular amongst celebrities at the forefront of the hippie-chic movement including Nicole Richie, Kate Hudson, and Sienna Miller. Other celebs that love these bags are part-time hippies, yet full time trend setters, such as Miley Cyrus and Rachel Bilson. Of course, they all carry the high end totes such as the Halston Heritage Slouchy Canvas Sac Bag and the Simone Camille Carryall embroidered cotton bag, by Designer Simone Harouche, found at Net-A-Porter.com for $1,860!!! All of the Steals above are under $35!

• Tie Dye Patchwork Handbag Purse – Amazon.com $28.99
• Rainbow Hemp Fringe Messenger – HandbagHeaven.com $33.96
• Peace Aum Stonewashed Handbag Purse – Amazon.com $29.99
• Cotton & Canvas Patch Bohemian Sling Bag – Amazon.com $19.87
• Peace, Om and Infinity Symbol Sling Bag Purse Handbag – Amazon.com $29.99

I love these swimsuits from ModCloth.com steeped in glamour and intrigue. My friend Christina was looking for a retro style one piece bathing suit two years ago and we could not find one anywhere. I am the google queen, and this style simply did not exist then. I always knew she was a trend-setter ahead of the fashion curve. Now, thanks to ModCloth.com, we have an amazing selection of one and two-piece retro styles that are so on-trend right now. I adore their entire collection of swimwear. What’s your fav piece?

Nude heels are a MUST-HAVE for Spring 2010. Rachel Zoe listed them in her guide that included 20 “not-so-basic” wardrobe essentials. I love how Kristin Cavallari legs look so long in her flesh-toned pumps and super short shorts. In fact, I plan on OD’ing on light neutrals, florals, and pastels for the upcoming season. Here are the 3 nude pumps that I’ve narrowed my selection down to, and I didn’t have to look any further than Zappos.com. I love that they offer free shipping and free (365 day) return shipping on all orders!

The first pair are the Catch Me woven leather pumps for $97.97. I think these are so on-trend right now; however, a nude pump should be a basic that can be worn with everything in your closet, so I’m undecided on this pair. The next pair are the Roxy cross-cut strappy pumps by Promiscuous and sell for $74.00. I love the platform and the covered heel on these pumps; however, they may be a bit dark to count as a nude. The third pair of pumps are the Love Me caged platform pumps for $70.50 (last seen in our L.A.M.B. Steal the Real), and I believe they may be the most wearable of the three. Hope you’ll help me decide – fashion over function, or both?

Which nude pumps should I get for Spring?

• 1. Chinese Laundry - Catch Me Woven Leather Pumps
• 2. Promiscuous - Roxy Cross Cut Strappy Pumps
• 3. Chinese Laundry - Love Me Platform Caged Pumps

The Breakdown

When the wedge started to emerge as a fall shoe, as opposed to the cork bottom colorful fabric upper we’ve seen in spring/summer, I couldn’t be more excited. The fall wedge is so architectural and innovative. This season is offering shoes like I have never seen before and the black wedge is a must have for fall. In working on this post, I thought I’d compile shoes from a variety of sources, but the wedges from Urban Outfitters were so amazing and affordable, I decided to look no further. Which pair do you like best?

Purple is my favorite color for transitioning my wardrobe from summer to fall, but not pretty, little girl purple. I love violet, plum, and jewel-tone purples. I just can’t cut off color cold turkey without feeling a little gray. My purple phase once consisted of mahogany/brown hair, deep purple smokey eyeshadow, and lightly purple tinted nude lip-gloss! It was more subtle than punk, I promise. Now I keep it to dresses, scarves, and my Nars nail polish in Grape.

The Breakdown

1. Satin & Chiffon Ruffle Dress – Forever 21 $29.80
2. House of Harlow Black Drop Earrings – Revolve Clothing $31.00
3. Women’s Fringed Gauze Scarves – Old Navy $10.00
4. Silence & Noise Open Shoulder Tunic – Urban Outfitters $42.00
5. Silk Cashmere Sweater Tank – Spiegel $39.00
