Trendspotting

Fuzzy Wuzzy

ashley_olsen_300x400.jpg

Off the rack spotted Ashley Olsen in Paris with this very green and extremely shaggy Christian Louboutin bag. They say it looks like something from Fraggle Rock, and we have to say we agree.

Which reminds us - what’s up with all that shaggy stuff from Prada’s fall collection?

Whenever we see clothing and accessories that remind us of bad 1970s carpeting and astroturf, all we can think about is how pathetic they will eventually look on the sales rack. All that fluff gathers dust and then you get transformed into a walking allergy attack.

Can we all please agree to lawnmow, buzzcut, and dustbust this trend out of existence?

You know, I thought the same thing until I saw one of those shaggy Prada clutches at the store and realized I wanted it more than anything else. Although for the 700 dollar proce tag, I could buy a pair of the shoes and the delicious knee-highs, which I'd rather have, but in the end I can't afford either one of them.
ha.
jokes on me?

Laia -

I know! I love how the Prada socks seem so relatively cheap and then you're like - wait a minute, $200 for socks?

Yeah, I call it the "living in nyc/working in soho effect". Recently I was talking to my friend about those great YSL pumps with the wooden heel and i said "they're cheap! only 495!" which, you know, isnt.

I wonder if Jim Henson ever imagined having such influence over high fashion?

That bag looks like some one shot Oscar the grouch, skinned him, and turned him into a bag. Boo.

And I'll end with one of my favorite quotes from SNL I believe(excuse the vugularness):

Big bird: "Oscar why are you such a grouch?"

Oscar: "Bitch I live in a fucking trash can!"

i usually don't like the furry, shaggy look and don't get why prada is pushing it, but i actually like it in this case. i think with the sleek black jacket, the hunter green furry purse adds another level to the outfit that really completes it.
