Sunglasses Trend

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Hey everyone! <i>How's it going?</i> The week has started off pretty darn busy here for me. I have <b><a href="http://www.cocoaandhearts.com/"><u>Cocoa & Hearts</u></a></b> paintings that I need to launch this month as well as a few commissions I've been working on...& of course there's <b><a href="http://www.madebygirl.com/"><u>MadeByGirl</u></a></b>.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">However, this weekend while walking around the NYC streets I noticed an interesting trend emerging: </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">COLORED sunglasses. That's right.  </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">So, along with all the colorful outfits you're seeing while shopping, now you can have glasses to match if you choose to!  I love wearing shades. But, I'm really in need of some new ones, mine are slowly falling apart! Not so sure if I would dare jump on this trend, but then again...I have a tendency to jump on trends after the fact. But, if I had to choose a color & style, I'd go for number 1, <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/oversized-plastic-aviator-sunglasses-marc/vp/v=1/845524441932225.htm?folderID=2534374302023816&fm=browse-brand-shopbysize&colorId=43252"><b><u>Marc Jacobs</u></b> </a>aviators in hot pink.</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Would you wear colored sunglasses?

Colorful Pants for Men....

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Yesterday I received my <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/"><b><u>J. Crew</u></b></a> catalog & loved every bit of it. However, when I got to this page (<i>below</i>) I asked my husband, "<i>would you wear colorful pants</i>?" </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">His response was, "<i>Ewwww, you can quote me on that</i>." </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So there you go, my guy will NOT wear colorful pants even if they WERE in trend. Come to think of it, I don't think I'd like to see him in these either. Let's face it, there aren't that many men that can pull these off. Women look much nicer in colorful pants...my opinion.  Sorry <a href="http://www.j.crew.com/"><b><u>J.Crew</u></b></a>, I love your stuff, but I just can't picture my guy in mint-colored khakis. In my mind, the only guy who can pull this look off is 1980's <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001083/"><b><u>Jon Cryer</u></b></a>. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I'd love to know what you think. <b>Colorful pants on guys, yes or no??  </b></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioUtzGZbFkDHBiqNr_icNh6xccbR992AoTLuUIp2DWYOtKdnbtaeEes9fAWlXfq-f9NU4NFlfGuvEh3X8vHH8CTNuXUobpUWBTLj5eGBtVUgmbY84a4rnrbVogsJNXQAmusP7RetVrnSY/s1600/IMG_6147A.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioUtzGZbFkDHBiqNr_icNh6xccbR992AoTLuUIp2DWYOtKdnbtaeEes9fAWlXfq-f9NU4NFlfGuvEh3X8vHH8CTNuXUobpUWBTLj5eGBtVUgmbY84a4rnrbVogsJNXQAmusP7RetVrnSY/s1600/IMG_6147A.jpg" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">P.S. capri pants are even worse.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">-image by jen ramos of <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/"><b><u>J.

Fruit & Flower Print Trend...(Via Made By Girl)

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">According to <a href="http://www.elledecor.com/"><b><u>Elle Decor</u></b></a> and Stella McCartney there's a fruit print trend coming. I swear, it reminiscent of the 70's & a bit of <a href="http://www.orlakiely.com/"><b>Orla Kiely</b></a>.  </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>I mean come on....platforms with a fruit design?!!  Would I wear those? Not at this moment.  </i>But then again ..... I always like TRENDS after they've been worn & worn and about to go out of style.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><i>Anyone out there do the same thing?</i></b> Wear it or place it in your home after it's been said & done? </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Judging from Stella McCartney's Fruit print dresses & jumpsuits her spring 2011 line are all the rave on the runways.
