A chain consignment shop, Buffalo Exchange-the Fashion Avenue NYC location, I could spend full work days in here...oh wait maybe on occasion I do! Graphic tees going along with relaxed punk-rock grunge and newly famed flat-brimmed hats are new stellar trends. I found this iconic Led Zeppelin shirt!

A quick tip essential-Hunter rain boots or try a pair like my non-traditional Hunter wedge ankle-rain booties to raise yourself above those puddles! I am always looking for a reason to incorporate heels to elongate the legs.

The Plaid Fad. Think Grunge. Think 90's. Think Pearl Jam. Think Scottish tartans. Along with the wripped on-the-side black leggings.

Back Necklaces-The Deep Back Drape

LOVE low-back apparel, especially with modest covering long-sleeves and a flowey floor-length skirt. With my experience working in the jewelry world, I am thrilled to finally see some slightly dramatic accessories and revealing of the back instead of constantly the cleavage deep v-neck silhouette. Also, seen recently at the Oscars on Jennifer Lawrence.

1950-60's Mod is back! Black and white everything, even dig out those tap-shoe-like old black and white Doc Marten oxfords!

Boot-Dals (Boots & Sandals Combo)

Popping up on runways and designers' new lookbooks are the Boot-dals (boots-sandals in one)! A revisited version of the gladiator strapped sandals a few years ago, these are higher and more defined geometrically!

The New for Tights & Boots

There is a plethora of pictures to validate these trends. Think everything above-the-knee paired with a bottom that is on the shorter side. From Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman we see that, like most things, trends come back again. Within the past few years we have seen an increase in patterned tights, but this style is different. These tights can almost appear as over the knee boots or high sock stockings. They can look like garters, which is funky to pair with a simple solid mini dress! And to those of us on the more petite side, they can even help elongate our legs! Also, the second picture is a sneak peek straight from the runway of the new invention of "fold-over high boots". Look closely and see that the only part of the toe that is seen is the very tip and the rest is hovered over by a leather overlay.
