The Accessories Wall: Cavalli's Apple Bag
Fashion Week Daily deemed it the new "It" bag
"Meet Roberto Cavalli’s latest It bag. It’s the Apple bag from his Fall/Winter 2008-2009 collection and the thing has already been scooped up by Jessica Simpson and Halle Berry. The hobo comes in black and metallic with patchwork details has a roomy unstructured shape, perfect for throwing in all that randomness. Cost: $2,995."
Enh. We thought the trend was moving away from those gigantic luggage-like bags, but it looks like the old girl still has some life to her. Ah, well. Fashion is a capricious bitch.
Seriously, though. What could Jessica Simpson and Halle Berry possibly have in those bags that their assistants and hangers-on couldn't carry themselves? It seems to us that the very women who can afford these gigantic diaper bags are the last ones who require such large ones.
Still, taken on its own, there is a fabulosity inherent. The texture and the shape are nice. It's just that we're a couple of clutch queens. Show us something so tiny that you can either take a tube of lipstick with you or a tampon but never both, and we swoon. Show us something with enough room to carry around a fax machine and we get quickly bored.
And you bitches?

The Accessories Wall: Crazy, F'd Up Shoes
Fashion scholars can debate the reasons why (and we're just gonna chalk it up to a general modern anxiety), but more and more, we're seeing some fucked up shoes in designer collections.
Now, don't get us wrong, we fully understand that the role of a good designer is to push the envelope slightly, to get you to look at clothing and the body in different ways, and to just generally express their aesthetic through fashion. Fine. We get it. There are plenty of crazy, impractical fashion items that we love simply for their boldness and beauty.
Then there are these shoes.
Balenciaga Fall 2007 "Lego" shoes
These are for the most part, just plain ugly. They at least look wearable, so that's something in the plus column.
Antonio Berardi Spring 2008 heel-less platform shoes
These on the other hand almost offend us. What's next? Foot-binding? It's one thing to design a sky-high pair of heels that might make walking an adventure, but these look like they make walking a near-impossibility.
Prada Spring 2008
Again, we'll at least give these their props for being somewhat wearable. Ugly and painful, but wearable. We detest those "furniture leg" style heels.
Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 backward heel shoes
Put the meth pipe down, Marc.
Look, we're all for reinterpreting the classic shoe, but there's reinterpreting and then there's just drug-induced mania. If Picasso had designed shoes, they'd look like this.
And finally, the Chanel Resort 2009 collection:
Oh please.

The Accessories Wall: Gladiator Sandals
It's not the hottest trend going but it looks to be heading into its 3rd or 4th season: the gladiator sandal.
Here's Heidi last summer in an absolutely HIDEOUS pair from Balenciaga:
If Elvis had been a drag queen, these would have had a very special place in his over-taxed heart.
We think there's such a wide range of what falls under "gladiator sandal" that we, shockingly, can't form an opinion as to whether we like them or not. So many of them tend toward gaudy, bondage-inspired monstrosities that we more often than not wrinkle our widdle noses in disapproval.
Then there are the less-obtrusive looking pairs, which we think are more flattering. But there's just something about them that prevents us from loving them. Even in simpler pairs like the ones Heidi's wearing here, they tend to cause the eye to go down immediately. The shoe IS the outfit. Gladiator sandals work best when the wearer shows a decent length of leg and because they can be something of an overpowering shoe, we often see ladies wearing some fairly toned-down, even plain outfits with them.
The effect can be a little bottom-heavy. SJP's also wearing Balenciaga here and while we have to say that from an aesthetic point of view, the shoes are pretty fabulous, we still can't help thinking they look like too much shoe - especially with the outfit Sarah Jessica's wearing here.

The Accessories Wall: The Mr. T Look
Darlings, let's take a look at accessories trends, shall we?
It's not the newest trend on the block, but we're seeing more and more of it: women wearing about 20 pounds of necklace. To wit:
We're not crazy about it. Whatever happened to the old adage of taking one thing off before you walk out the door? Don't get us wrong, we love big chunky jewelry as much as the next queen, but Sarah and Nina are looking a little weighed down here, wouldn't you say? We hope they're taking their calcium supplements or they're both gonna wind up hunch-backed after a couple of nights out looking like this.
At least Nina's look is a little unified. Sarah looks like her house was on fire and she grabbed every necklace she owns before running out the door.
What do you say, ladies? Too much, just enough, or more, more, more?
