I am on a budget. And as we all know, budgets suck.
Accordingly, I am trying to steer clear of every mall within a 50 mile radius of my face. My good intentions are not working out considering the fact that my new office overlooks a mall. I'm not kidding. A MALL!
Similar to the way that the sun shines through Indiana Jone's medallion to point him in the direction of the Well of Souls in the Raiders of the Lost Ark... the sun hits the windows of Crate and Barrel every afternoon and reflects directly into my office and I am forced to turn away from the temptation.
So, I am trying to recycle last year's trends into this year's hot new thing. Lucky for me, I am seeing tons of last year's trends take up space on this year's catwalks. Hooray! Here are some of my favorite trends from last year that are definitely coming back for seconds.
