Accessories have not had the most fun lately. Remember that widely published Zoran comment that husbands and children should be the accessories of choice for a woman, and minimalistic pared down nakedness should prevail? It's over. After kicking and screaming for the past several seasons, the accessories market is finally making a fierce come back. Toting hats and bags no longer symbolizes women as overly decorated Christmas trees - making men out to be the true free spirits of the modern thinking world. It just means that women are more stylish. Period. |

Speaking of bags, Kipling backpacks, long attached to every back in town are now available in a street version brand called "Sky Mount Pinnacle", which may or may not mean something, to someone.
