Metallics
Metallic colors are not only big for shoes but also for bags. This trend is versatile enough to be a day-time look that can be carried on into the night.
Diane von Furstenberg has outdone herself again! This carry-on can also double as a day-time satchel for the gal who carries her life in her bag.

Chunky Watches
Although slender watches are always chic, a chunky, masculine watch is what’s hot right now.
This Betsey Johnson watch has the season’s “masculine” appeal to it yet it still has the feminine touch.
