Jeans is one of the most fashionable items to wear of all time found in every wardrobe. We can choose from dozens of different styles, and jeans can match every occasion.

Jeggings are latest in the jeans fashion. Born in last spring the clothing piece comes from merging jeans and leggings and are combined with  tanks and sweater dresses thins fall as well. Extremely tight jeans never go out of fashion so I think pair of very good jeggings is a good investment in your wardrobe.

High waisted jeans are one of the most popular styles around this season. High waist isn’t a novelty on a fashion scene, it is a comeback of high waisted jeans as they are featured in all the fashion shows for fall and winter 2010. Style of them is simple and high waist gives a slim look to a silhouette.

Patched denim is brought to runways by Chanel, Chloe and Lagerfeld for the Spring 2010 and now is widely sold in retail stores. There are plenty ideas to create own stylish outlook combining different colors and fabrics which gives a funky look.

researching what is happening for Fall 2010 I found few really nice ladies knitwear designs in designer’s collections.

Gray and cream are number ones this year. So the other pastel colors and also black.

All the pieces are stylish and functional in all variety knitewear has to offer – sweater dresses, cardigans, scarves, ponchos, tank tops, tshirts and sweaters. Especially scarves and wraps are so rich in texture, long, oversized and heavily ruffled to add dramatic look to the outfit.

The theme for this Fall is blended yarns of more than one fiber in fascinating executions – wool, silk, cashmere, bison. It is a full range of textures and weights in knits to have all possible patterns – chunky, hairlike or deconstructed.  Everything is comfy and warm looking.

Half a year ago designers predicted what world will be wearing this spring bringing their ideas down the runway. Here are few ideas transformed into affordable pieces you can buy on-line at www.very.co.uk

Maxi dresses

Give your look a hint of glamour with Very’s selection of maxi-dresses. They’re a summer essential, morever this season is all about bold and bright prints. With a halter neck tie or strapless tube dresses is is an essential summer piece.

Gladiator sandals

There are also wide selection of other women’s shoes  available at the www.very.co.uk – UGG summer edition boots, shoe boots and gladiator sandals. Gladiator sandals  look great both with casual and dressy styles. Strap yourself into knee high gladiators  for the full-on fashion effect. The gladiator sandals are essential footwear trend for a couple of years already and now there are so many styles available – studded, with full back zips, different colors and materials. Wear them with long dresses, skirts and short shorts.

Little black dress and little white dress

Little black dress is always in style, but with arrivel of spring black is something you want to forget about. This year little white dress is season’s favorite and comes as alternative for little black dress, especially figure shape cocktail dresses. Laconic minimalism, simple, minimum details – that’s the key.

Inwear as outwear

This is probably trend coming back together with 80’s fashion revival because last time shift toward lingerie as outwear was in the 1980s. It emerges a fresh attention to tights and stockings as a feature piece and the corset-on view  in dresses and tops. In different styles this trend can make your look feminine, provocative and sophisticated. Silk, lace and feathers are materials combined for the look and looks best for going out dresses.

 The worldwide known Jeans brand Diesel launched Be Stupid campaign with explicit message that being stupid is fun. All online, press and outdoor advertisements are composed from ‘’stupid act” scenes and slogans with idea that being stupid, or, in other words not to be afraid express yourself, be spontaneous and follow your heart is the key to your victory and fruition.

To me the ads seem rebellious. So, be stupid!

It’s been two years since Carrie and Mr.Big have been married when again paparazzi and fan crowds are back in the NYC streets to follow Sex And The City 2 shoot. What to expect for sure we already know – it is lots of fashion and lots of fun. As usual there will be enough drama and touching scenes about true worth of women friendship.

- Some scenes filmed in Marocco

- Carrie finds out she’s pregnant, Big loses lose money in the financial downturn and has an affair

- Charlotte deals with babies and suspects Harry of cheating

-  Samantha will have to downsize her life due to economy crisis and the big intrigue – Is Samantha Getting Married?!?

The show this year  was moved back to New York City and started with Black Eyed Peas song  Boom Boom Pow. 

The honour to present $3 million worth diamond bra was given to Marisa Miller, but my personal admiration goes to Heid Klum who went down the runway just five weeks after she gave birth to her fourth child.

Shoe trends and what relates to them - handbags and accessories

Opening the first page of November’s British Vogue again and again I enjoyed magnificent ad of new Louis Vuitton campaign for F/W 2009/2010 with Madonna wearing absolutely sexy bunny ears. Very different from Vuitton + Madonna shoot for Spring/Summer 2009 season, but no doubt – very classy, intimate and with great colorizing effects.

But for the fashion industry it is not enough to have pop icon in front of season’s campaign only for year 2009.  In 2010 Madonna will be Dolce & Gabbana campaign star. Stefano Gabanna is writing on Twitter :’’ The campaign with Madonna is beautifull ( 4 me ) i cant say anything about!!!’’.

I don’t this there is anybody who doesn’t believe

As the winter is on its way I wanted to post my favorite coat trends for winter 2009.

They are not surprising and continuing rebirth of 80’s style in spring/summer padded shoulders trend remains also in fall and winter. Also army theme stays, however disco style found its place also in military look making shoulders bolder and more exaggerated.

Classic stays – You can’t go wrong with black, white and gray. Classic trench coats with belts as accent.

However using so classic black and white, designers go mad about silhouettes – huge coats, capes and gowns, countless ruffles. Regular forms are outspoken with oversize sleeves and impressive cuffs and collars.

Knitwear is celebrating its victory. Knitted and bold details are not only warm, but also trendy this year.

Season’s feature is fur and leather – simple cuts and also daring. Fur is widely used for detailing (cuffs, collars and fur caps).
