FALL 2010 ACCESSORIES TRENDS
by Adelita McGrath


This Fall, old-fashioned color schemes and stripes are definitely “in”. This season, you may want to add a few pieces of what the fashion experts are calling the Mosaic of Color and Style to your personal collection. These are fabulous patterns in darker colors such as deep purple, winter blue and pale green. Another major color trend presented at the New York Fashion Week this Fall was gleaming metallics, soft classic camel and icy blue. The predominant trend setter color for the season might be the scarlet red coats and accessories displayed by various collections for this season.

Purse party Smarts

The purse party is a type of party plan marketing scheme wherein a party is held in a hostess' home for the purpose of buying and selling handbags. It is modeled after similar functions where such products as Tupperware, Pampered Chef, and PartyLite candles are sold. Indeed, it is not unusual for combination parties to be held, where a wide variety of such merchandise is made available. 

Several years ago, a survey was conducted among the buying habits of 31-yeard old woman. The study revealed that these women own an average of 21 handbags and they buy a new one once every three months. With the findings of this study, it is safe to assume that purse party is a good way of not only enjoying a good time with your friends but also a very good investment.

Purse party is a business that has been going around for several years now. If you have heard about Tupperware parties or any other kinds of home party business, the principle behind purse parties follow the traditional home party business. Home purse parties allow women to have a relaxing time shopping in a home party atmosphere.

When hosting a purse party, the hostess will invite her family members, friends, officemates and other people she knew in her home. Then, a purse party consultant will present the merchandise which is normally consists of purses, wallets, and other fashion accessories for women. Guests of the party can browse the merchandise and are allowed to purchase the merchandise they want.

Runway Nails


The nail trends found on the runways at Mercedes- Benz New York Fashion Week were numerous, beautiful and oh-so-chic. Several major nail manufacturers and their skilled nail techs- such as OPI, Zoya, Dashing Diva and CND worked behind the scenes to make sure that each designer's vision was achieved from tips to toes. OPI made it's way onto the New York Fashion Week scene at the Cynthia Rowley show. Five nail techs were on hand to paint models' nails in a new dark hue that will be part of the OPI fall collection.
Zoya nail lacquer appeared on numerous runaways, including Project Runway winner Leanne Marshall's show, where she chose golden Richelle to enhance her collection. And at Ohne Titel, manicurist Jackie Saulsbery used Zoya Gretchen and Dea- both creamy tan nudes- to play off the sculptural pieces. Alisha Rimando, head nail tech for Dashing Diva, and her skilled team of nail techs were also hard at work backstage as they polished nails for 13 different runway shows. At Charlotte Ronson and Erin Fetherston, the Dashing Diva team used Jet-Set, a dark burgundy frost polish. Rimando also created a custom pink fade at Akiko Ogawa using Headliner, Dashing Diva, Cosmopolitan and Debutante.

And let's not forget the CND veteran nail team, who put their polishing touches on 51 runway shows during New York Fashion Week. The CND team custom mixed polishes for several designers including Diesel, where nail tech Amanda Fontanarrosa created a custom shade of dark chocolate to match the clothes, and at Karen Walker and Catherine Malandrino they custom-mixed shades of gray and mushroom enamel. Take a cue from the skilled nail techs at fashion week and create stylish nails to fit your clients' personal style.
