With NYC Trend Week in whole swing I think I would be remise in not conversing slightly design and style. Specially when I declare for being to the pulse of such matters! On the other hand, rather of composing the regular panning & praising article within the designs that have come down these runways, I thought it might be fun to take a seem back at the iconic.




I feel like this is a fitting topic- particularly in this still timid economy. Even if you have the means (and trust me, I really don't) to purchase the latest and greatest trends- now is a time to learn from oakley prescription sunglasses cheap history and glance even to cheap oakley cheap womens oakley sunglasses prescription fashion as an investment. The focus should be on purchasing items that have withstood the test of time. Plus, you always sound chic when you can say "its vintage."




Probably one of the most obvious illustrations of this kind of an item is the Hermes Kelly bag. Recently I was with a friend who had been bequeathed one of these beautiful purses. I salivated a little. Fortunately we were eating dinner so it wasn't too obvious. The beauty of a bag like this is it is just as relevant today as it was when the Princess hid her growing belly.




Other manner items hold similar mystique. The LBD, first attributed to Chanel in the 1920s, was given new life by Audrey Hepburn's portrayal of Holly Go lightly dressed in a Givenchy dress in the film Breakfast at Tiffany's. Today, the tiny black dress can be found in almost any woman's closet.




Here are a few more iconic manner items:




Levi's 501s- Who doesn't need a classic pair of jeans

Ray-ban Aviator Sunglasses- This a favorite classic

Burberry Trench- The rain is no excuse for bad fashion!

YSL Pantsuit- Women's liberation at its most stylish

Dior Pencil Skirt- Born in the 1940's, these skirts still turn heads.
