Fashion Trends for 20-10!!!

As we wrap 2009 and say goodbye to the trends we look forward to new ones.  Spring 2010 will bring much to be excited about.  Trends to look out for include:

Thigh high socks...so clueless but we're so excited..I guess fashion really does repeat itself!


It's time to hit the gym...shorts are getting even shorter this spring!


Ripped Jeans...this trend has crept all the way up the leg!


Printed and patterned pants...we're on the fence about this one!


Military and warrior styles...super chic


Boyfriend blazers are here to stay


Onsies!!  Jumpsuits aren't just for 6'10 models anymore!

Helianthus would like to say RIP to Hollywood's finest!

As the year comes to an end we would like to pay our respects for the great icons of Hollywood lost this year.  Unfortunately it seemed everytime you turned on the tv another famous face was being laid to rest.  We hope 2010 will be a better year for us all.

RENT THE RUNWAY? 




They say fashion is always changing.  Well heres an original, you can actually rent pieces off the runway!  All you have to do is go to renttherunway.com or so I thought.  Theres a waiting list.  How long is the wait you might wonder?  I couldnt tell you because they didnt tell me!  Lets pretend I did get to be a member then the process goes as follows: 1. Browse through a list of designers to find a dress 2.Schedule a delivery date and your dress will appear on your doorstep in two sizes-to be safe 3. Put the piece in the pre paid package and drop in any mailbox- dry cleaning is on them.  Sounds pretty amazing for the majority of us who could never imagine being able to afford an actual couture piece by our favorite designer but what will it cost ya?  How long do you get to keep the piece?  How many pieces can you rent at a time?  How high are the chances your favorite couture will already be rented?  These are questions I can not answer until Im a member.

So as I figure it,rent the runway awesome idea-YES, practical-NO.  It will probably be at the VERY least $100 to rent one dress and by the time I get bumped up to the front of the waiting list I could have saved over the years for my very own couture!  I want to know what you think....rent the runway....UNREAL or UNREALISTIC?
