This hardware will be used in a abundance not only to adorn pumps, but everything from ballerina flats to fantastic sandals this spring/summer fashion season.

Cut-Out Booties
High-heeled booties are holding on strong for 2009 summer fashion season. Most shoe Designers found a way to keep booties fresh and colorful for this spring. One way was to cut away parts of the bootie, leaving lots of skin showing through the cutout. Whether it's open-toes, cut-away sides, or cut-out heels, you can't go wrong with a pair or two of these in your closet.

Jewelry ... This Season 
 

Spring and Summer Jewelry trends, Based on these observations and my own inner fashion diva, here's what will be hot for jewelry in Spring / Summer 2009...

In 2009, jewelry is all about making a big statement. Be it with a necklace, a bangle or a oh so big cocktail ring. From ethnic beading, to exotic stones, to avant garde pieces, the one thing is constant: it must be big and bold, and colorful...

Nature Calls...

Lots of emphasis on natural colors. Also materials such as stone and wood are big this season in jewelry. The natural feels are a organic and botanical looking beads is a big trend especially in pendants.

Bold and Big - a must in Jewelry this season

Large stones, gemstones and seed beads are still front runners, "over the top in size". Natural gem stone jewelry pieces are kept big and bold just as last spring.

Pendants, Charms and Single Stones

Is one better than multiple? Single large stones that hang in a pendant configuration are in .... Women will be wearing bright and somewhat larger charm bracelets, and necklaces this season .

What's Up With Colors!

Natural to bright - anything goes this spring. The bright colors of nature, think vibrant sunset or soft seascape.

Metals

There is always and always will be room for metals in beaded jewelry. In medals think sleek and modern designs. Look for an even mixed with natural materials like wood and stone beads mixed with medals. This season the medal piece's have taken on a more modern look.

Silver and Gold

Silver is as always hot! But this season gold is making a good comeback. You will see the two metals mixed , to create some wonderful jewelry piece's. Charms, pendants and larger jewelry beads are what what's seen on runways in the new spring lines...

I would describe the perfect bead jewelry necklace for 2009 to be comprised of bright, colorful oversized beads that invoked nature in either their shape or color and the whole piece would be brought together with a tasteful silver and gold gemstone pendant hanging off the neck to bring it all together.

Whats Up With Handbags... Hand Straps, Bright Colors, and Exotic skins...And Lace


The trend for designer handbags in 2009 seems to be "the bigger, the better". Today's on the go woman needs a handbag that can handle everything from makeup to cell phones and every other electronic device she needs to keep her in the know and in touch while looking fashionable and irresistible.

Design and Styles

The clutch continues to hold its own in fashion. All done up in bold colors, to pure white - boasting bold exotic skins... A clutch is a must this season.

Designer Collections

So what's up with the designer collections? First of all color ! Bold wonderful color is the trend this season. This spring will bring on the stronger and brighter colors. Bright red is strongly in evidence, as is purple, which has been a favorite color for several seasons now. Cobalt blue emerges to challenge purple. first place though and plenty of other shades of blue were in evidence. Candy bubblegum colors were also tempting us - pinks and oranges as well as lime greens. .This spring look for a kaleidoscope of color.

Lace covered large Satchel's are also big on the runways this season , such as the wonderful Prada satual " Prada Pizzo S " as shown here in the photo....

So, you say you prefer more sober colors, designers have taken all you gals into consideration.... classic blacks and whites will be out there, so you can keep to a more restrained palette if you desire, and still remain fashion forward !

Exotic skins

Exotic skins were also well in evidence on the runways for spring /summer, with ostrich a prime favorite among many top designers. Color palette and style ranged from gorgeous pink totes, elegant purple frame bags and the very chic mint green clutches . Stunning bright colors stood out on the runways.

The tote

The big bag is still a favorite with roomy totes and outsize frame bags. Many handbags showed chain handles.

Size - Anything Goes!

But, you will notice the hand is back in handbag. More designers have used short straps on large shaped handbags. Not as many over the shoulder straps...

The trend seems to be medium-sized handbags clasped by the woman in her hand. Regardless of whether the handbag is provided with a strap or not, you will be fashionable only if you clasp it in your hand. This keeps the clutch right up there in a fashion must have.

Shape

Large, rigid handbags , obviously to be carried via hand straps , somewhat like a suit-case.

Evening

For the evening , the clutch, this spring the clutch's are often big and colors bright or simply white.... Not the clutch of last spring, these clutch's have lots of room for all your stuff.
