Trends in Fashion Accessories

Lucila Lotti, the designer behind her self titled shoe line began her business focusing on shoes made from bright colored patent leather, suede, satin and vinyl in homage to her mother who always wore heels and lipstick when leaving the home (sounds a lot like my Grandma Rue). Lucila’s debut collection has received attention from a handful of celebrity stylists, one in particular is Patricia Field (stylist for Sex & The City). Her bright, bold shapes and ability to mix colour and silhouette in a brave, fashionable style will no doubt continue to inspire more international press.

Warby Parker is the brainchild of four Wharton MBA students who discovered the market of affordable stylish eyewear was untapped (the line includes glasses for both men and women). The site and product are unique because you upload a photo of yourself, and try out different looks from the collection of 27 not-too-modern styles. All are custom made from cellulose acetate (more durable than plastic) with antireflective, antiscratch polycarbonate prescription lenses (thinner and lighter than glass). A pair costs just $95.

To warm your heart, Warby Parker donates eyeglasses to someone in need for every pair sold.

There are only so many way to wear shoes, or boots for the matter. Folding them down, lacing them up. So for women, funds continue to dwindle because there is a need for so many different shoe looks. Shoes are about to get accessorized. Shoe enthusiast Stephanie Kim, has created a solution to our problem by launching a shoe accessories line which enables us to wear the same shoe multiple times, but with different accessories.

Her brand dekkori features many new and exciting accessories to wear with a simple court shoe, pointy stilettos or just some forgotten mary-janes at the back of your shoe closet.
