News from the jet setting Trendspotter who reported these two In & Now alerts from her travels through Italy...ciao readers!
Jeans Alert: Be ready for colored denim. You thought it was a flash in the 80's pan, but it looks like this trend is going to be with us for a while. The always ahead of the game Italian bellas are clad in all shades of the rainbow denim - red, turquoise, yellow, pink. First sighted in L.A., Trendspotter immediately investigated possible recommendations on brands. Her pick: Rich and Skinny Jeans -which boast a silk lining in the waistband to work with you, not against you.Check it out here.
Bag Alert: Get ready for high shine. It is all about patent- for day and night. Clutches, slouchy model bags, or ladylike satchels...there's something for everyone. Patent is the perfect accent for the somber blacks and charcoals that have saturated the Fall runways.
Note: These trends are best explored separately. Crossing red denim and red patent will most likely result in fashion victim status. A little trend goes a long way... In & Now

Perfect for days or night, the DV are effortlessly stylish and "throw them in your bag" friendly all at once. TS recommends the Metallic Silver for all purpose use, but you can't go wrong with any of the seven colors. p.s. Don't forget the pedicure...
