Spring 2009 Trends

Not to keep reiterating the recession, but the new trends are hitting the nail right on the head. As Style.com puts it, it seems as if the designers are going for a 'depression chic' look this spring. Burberry, Bottega Veneta, Alberta Ferretti, Marc Jacobs, and Jil Sander are all joining in on this disheveled, unkempt trend.

Addicted to: Comme Des Garçons

The Japanese fashion label, whose name comes from a French phrase, meaning

"like boys", is teaming up with Converse this summer. The shoes are set to come out in July and they are sure to go quick. The label's 'techno couture' attitude has made it extremely popular within the celebrity world. What makes this brand great is the fact that many of it's pieces are cheap enough for anyone to afford. E-bay should become everyone's favorite store.

Dress For Less

I think we all are starting to realize this recession means business. Looks like it might be hanging around for longer than we thought. No worries! Stores such as Target, Wal-Mart, and Kohl's have us covered. They all have one thing in common-designers for less! With Target having brands like Alexander McQueen and Thakoon, who wouldn't want to shop there? And let's not forget about the ever-cheap yet ever-chic, H&M. Something's telling me that we will make it through this money crisis just fine.
