Spring 2008 Trends....
Over at STYLEnosh they're featuring a CNN/InStyle video on top 5 spring fashion trends....
Style Tips: Spring Trends from InStyle Magazine
Of all the trends listed, I think for the 50+ gal incorporating splashes of color in our spring wardrobes will be the best bet. It will also be the easiest on the budget -- there are so many great accessories out there right now that bring color front and center.
A few options:
Shoes:
Steven by Steve Madden Bessy Pump - %55.00 (on sale at Macys.com)
Yes I know, the 4 inch heel is fierce! But it's the color I want to point out - a great one to sport in a shoe this spring!
Steven by Steve Maden Hellenna Pump - $69.50 (on sale at Macys.com)
Yes, yes another ridiculously high heel (still, I know there are 50+ ladies out there that can still pull them off - I envy you, my sisters!). But I love the concept of that touch of a bright color on the toe - this would be an easy one to pull off for work - and what a delight to look down at the end of that dark workplace appropriate trouser and see that hit of color! ;-)
Nine West Evachen Peep-Toe Pump - $79.00
Once again, a wonderfully discreet hit of color!
Let's step back from the heel stratosphere...
Volatile Kathy Pump - $64.00
Yellow, as has been touted all over, is THE color this spring and a yellow pump is a great way to integrate it into your Spring wardrobe!
Miss Sixty Virginie - $153.00
The yellow here is a lot subtler and the heel a lot lower - but it still has that Spring feel!
BCBGirls Monday Pump - $95.00
This shinny blue pump sure makes my heart pump faster! :-D
Bags:
Ettiene Aigner NY Core Large Hobo Bag - $118.00
Francesco Biasia Electra Shoulder Bag - $238.00
I think a mustard yellow bag is a great alternative for those of us who like the freshness of the yellow color but not necessarily the brightness!
Coach Miranda Canvas Satchel - $598.00
I love the color green too but, like yellow, it can be a bit, well, loud shall we say? This lovely Coach gives just the right spritz of spring green!
Dooney and Bourke Suede Medium Sac w/Twist Strap - $221.25 (on sale at Macys.com)
Orange done in a soft suede? Delish!
But if you want to just cover all your bases:
Lucky Brand Jeans Sunshine Daydream Striped Leather Satchel - $208.00
Yeah I know what some of you are thinkin' - didn't I throw a bag like that out several years ago? Yes, it's got that 60s feel goin' on! But if there's still a bit of that Boho girl in ya - this could be the only bag you need to add to your closet this Spring!

You've found the perfect pair of black pumps......
Or sleek little black flats.

I remember shoe clips from way back - and theirs are just too lovely!
A couple of my favs:
Angelina - $30.00
Audrey - $25.00
Faith - $19.99
Just goes to show - everything old IS new again!
A shout out to BrandHabit for the heads up!

Sigh! I guess the whole yellow thing...
Is not going to go away as a trend for Spring!
Personally, I'm NOT a huge fan of the color - when I was younger too much of it made me nauseous! But it appears it is one of the "IT" colors for this Spring - and I must admit that, in the right proportions, it can give a sunny kick to your outfit!
As I do not, at my age at any rate, feel the need to look like a de-striped bumble-bee by wearing an entire yellow outfit, I decided that the best way to take advantage of this trend was with an accessory. So I surfed around and found a few I thought were promising:
Handbags:
Isaac Mizrahi for Target® Flap Bag with Buckle - Grainy Yellow - $16.99
Cute and not to pricey - easy to throw into the back of the closet once the whole yellow thing is over!
Mustard Round Hobo - $45.00
Okay, mustard is cheating a bit - but the bag is cute and the subtler color can easily carry over into fall!
Buti
Tulip - Orange & Yellow Leather Buckled Strap Tote - $499.00
What can I say - I just plain love this bag! It's percentage of yellow is just right! (Yes, I wish the price was better, as in cheaper - but I guess sometimes you really do get what you pay for!)
Shoes:
For those of us who need to keep their feet more or less on the ground:
Chinese Laundry LANDYS DOT CANVAS - YELLOW - $59.00
Seychelles 'Social Climber' Flat - $64.95
Diba Kitten Flat - $82.95
For those who can reach a bit higher:
BC Mesh Wedge - $58.00
Ada by Frye - $165.00
Chariot by Delman - $175.00 Seychelles "And the Winner Is" Yellow Patent Leather Pump - $79.99
And if you can still handle the height - good on ya!:
Aldo URSA - $69.99 Marc by Marc Jacobs - $328.95
Now for those of you who, like me, are not big yellow fans - but don't mind sporting a bit of the sunshine color:
Ballroom by Bettye Muller - $295.00
Canvas Printed Wedge - $48.00
:Dolce Vita Braided Slingback - $78.00
Gazebo by Bettye Muller - $375.00
I'm sure there are a bunch of belts and babbles as well that you can slip on to give a bit of sunshine to your spring outfit - and if I come across any that look promising I'll post them!
Meanwhile, this lot should give you a good start! Enjoy!

Ah, new shoes for Spring....
Come on, I know you're all thinking about it. Spring, new clothes, new shoes....
Even I, who am no shoe freak (bags are my bag!) have found my mind awandering to my feet and the possibilities once the snow is off the ground!
If you too are getting that shoe love feeling, head on over to Stylebakery for a little Sole Searching.
What I love about this list is that it contains shoes of many different heights which can suit women of a wide age range and shoe tolerance. The prices are wide ranging as well - enabling you to walk fashionably into Spring without totally emptying your handbag!
Many thanks to Kristopher Dukes for the heads up!

Ohhhh!!!!!.......
If you've been reading me fairly regularly, you know that I'm no advocate of expensive shoes OR handbags - and I LOVE handbags!
But when I saw this pic, my heart too went "POP!":
Spring 2007 Santa Barbara Louis Vuitton Shoes $575.00
Skip over to Kristopher Dukes for the full skinny on these glorious slings:
Spring 2007 Louis Vuitton Shoes
At $575.00 and with my swelling feet, this pair won't be gracing MY poor dogs anytime soon! But if you are:
1. Lucky enough to be able to wear them
2. Lucky enough to have the ducats to buy them
Go for it!
Okay -- let me slap myself a couple of times and get myself back to reality!
