Stand out! These stylish and colorful modern versions of the classic silhouette are a chic alternative to loafers, metallic sneakers and sky high heels. Pair them with rolled cuff boyfriend jeans and a deep v-neck cashmere sweater for that perfect balance of effortless chic.

GREEN IS THE NEW BLACK

Very few companies have the storied history, longevity and forward-moving vision that Ferragamo does. Known for their exquisite shoes and luxury handbags, the company has now ventured into the future with their new Eco Ferragamo collection. The line features handbags made from nontoxic tanning techniques, and tannins made from tree bark with handwoven hemp used as a durable liner alternative. Combine these eco techniques with the company's craftsmanship and you have a luxury, biodegradable and extremely stylish alternative to leather handbags. The line's price point is not necessarily recession-friendly though, as it rivals its leather brethren with a range of $1,200 to $1,900 depending on the style - small totes to maxi hobos. The line is not due to debut until February '09, so that gives you plenty of time to save up for one. Okay, maybe not.

Trends are dictated by many mediums, notably film and television. With the success of Mad Men many trends have emerged from it. There is the Don Draper effect - manicured hair, crisp white collared shirts and cigs, the resurgence of the hour glass silhouette, crystal encrusted brooches and of course, the exaggerated collar. Couture is loving this Ali Ro '50s-inspired, exaggerated collar ponte knit dress with attached hip belt. Give it the full Mad Men effect by pairing it with a crystal brooch and colored stiletto heels.
