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.

There are certain combinations that are simply perfection. A pencil skirt and a peep toe shoe, stovepipe jeans and needle heel booties, and a fabulous square toe pump with a vibrant colored sole. The fabulous Alexander McQueen knows the way to a woman's heart is through her favorite color and definitely through her sole. Couture is loving these Alexander McQueen square toe pumps with fabric upper, hot pink sole and sky high heel. Perfect with a black sheath and hot pink skinny belt, with an exaggerated collar knee length dress, or with stovepipe jeans paired with a ruffle-front crisp white shirt.

Need to carry your laptop? Check. Can be substituted for a briefcase? Check. Is a great, waterproof all-in-one utility bag? Check. Couture is loving this Jack Spade Warren Street Waxwear Small Flat Utility Bag. Carry it with the greatest of ease by the dual handles or the cross body strap.
