Fall 09 trend reports are starting to come in, for folks in countries with four fashion seasons. I have no other choice but just read, look and gawk in awe... though some pieces, I believe are very wearable even to ladies like me who live in the tropics. I noticed that mainly, metallic and basic colors dominated the collections while compensating for the quirky and edgy designs seen in most shoes and jewelry.
Let's go straight to business, shall we... pictures speak better than verbiage.
I'd like to share with you some accessory pieces from my favorite designers as featured on style.com.
♥ CHANEL

I feel a bit iff-y about the heels, though the cuff has gotten me smitten... it reminds me of those homeland security bands/detectors that you have to wear on your ankle or wrist if you have a pending case, etc. It's quirky and fashionable at the same time!
♥MICHAEL KORS

The bag is a spin-off from the usual MK bags we see here in Manila, the studs make this one more interesting. I have to say I am loving the bike chain necklace... am experiencing an attraction to chunky chain necklaces recently. I remember my hubby would roll his eyes whenever i would attempt to wear the chain from my Marc Jacobs Stam bag (my favorite bag back when I was preggers) on my neck.... he would go "Are you serious?" or "Have you decided to dress up as a DOG today?" -- hahaha.. he can go from darling to pain sometimes! Well, I've decided to abandon all plans of wearing it... since I wont hear the end of it from him... maybe purchasing this necklace will seal the deal!

Glitter, glitter,GLITTER! I love the third clutch! Reminds me of a grenade. And purse number 2 reminds me of a world map...
♥CHRISTIAN DIOR

I remember back in 2006, I was frantically searching for an elephant tusk necklace... as none of them were being sold in the Philippines yet. Then 2007 came, and almost everyone had one hanging on their neck from long chains. Well... I guess it's back in a different medium... as shoe heels! Different!
♥LANVIN

The chunky bib necklaces are TDF. Their heels are so different... and again, interesting!
♥ VERA WANG

Chains and silky fabric dominated Vera Wang's purses. I love the multi-strand take on the chain handles.
♥ MANOLO BLAHNIK

Texture, Volume and Metallics dominated Manolo's collections. I personally love them all, ahhBlahnik!
♥ MARNI

Looks like these platforms are here to stay for quite some time. Here Marni does a metallic take on the shoe sole design we have seen since 2008.
♥ LOUIS VUITTON

Pretty chunky necklaces... making me want to be a Mari Antoinette for a day.

This one made me do a double-take. LV Alma bag with... are those sequins?! Hmmm I wonder how this one looks, I've never seen an authentic "blinged" LV bag before (though I've seen a few people done some obviously FAKE ones...funny how the counterfeit market comes up with all sorts of their own designs, and it doesn't even take a keen eye to spot them)... but this one looks interesting. Though it doesn't really fall under my LV-taste... I'll ask my local SA to give me a ring once they have it so I can take a look!
♥ MARC JACOBS

Like Vera's, Marc's collection also has silky fabric combined with chains, and is it just me, or do the rest of his bags remind you of Chanel flap bags? Though these ones are pretty and textured, the swirly designs and studding are very, very brilliant. ![]()

So tell me, which one tickled your fancy the most?
