Hottest Handbag Styles 2011

Hottest Handbag Styles 2011 - With the year almost over, and the holiday craze just about behind everyone, it’s time to focus on the future. It’s been said that those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it, but in the fashion world of handbags, that might be even more of an abject lesson for all of us to learn from, as the newest and hottest styles for spring 2011 are rolled out. The fact is that there are new designs being produced all the time, and those who fail to follow the trends are doomed to be left with immovable inventory. Here then, is a glimpse into the future of fashion handbags for next year’s fashionistas – and perhaps a brief history lesson for wholesalers who want to be ahead of the curve as they ramp up their own collections to mirror the trends.

So much has been said about Karl Lagerfeld’s designs that were inspired by the avant-garde movie “Last Year at Marianbad,” that the ragged edges and lattice perforations that have become trademarks of his collection have been called “hallucinatory” by Vogue, and “classic with an odd twist” by his fellow designers. In truth, his bag is simply a classic flap design with extra supple leather (no fur, though!) held inside a frame that provides excellent contrast, that gives the whole look a bit of a coin-box feel.

This will surely influence designers all over the world, as clutch-style and small handbags will be making their way onto the streets, perhaps in response to the well-used past fashion
that featured oversized bags and giant duffles, totes, and hobos in a variety of loud colors and blingy touches.

Homes Losing Value Fastest

Homes Losing Value Fastest - Homeowners with Citigroup loans in foreclosure-rich Virginia Beach, Va., and Orlando, Fla., are in luck. The mortgage giant announced today that it will impose a moratorium on most foreclosures and modify $20 billion in mortgages to enable homeowners who are not behind on their loans, but in danger of falling behind, to avoid foreclosure. Those that don't fall under the plan? They're in hot water. Well, underwater. Virginia Beach homeowners who bought homes this year possess a paltry 5.2% of home equity, and 34.5% owe more on their property than it's worth, according to Zillow.com, a real estate research group. That's the worst rate in the country. Even in Orlando and Miami, two cities hammered by bad loans and home-equity dips, only 30% and 29% of homeowners are underwater, respectively.
