A trend that's been really popular for the past few months has been the circle skirt. Also called the skater skirt, it's probably the most flattering skirt for any shape or size. It sits high on the waist, which is perfect for crop top pairings, and immediately extends out, hiding any flaws you might have. It also accentuates your back side, if that's your thing. Anyways, Asos by far has the best selection, although I found quite a few at Topshop as well. The only one I have is a plain black one from Topshop. At only $30, it was definitely worth it. It's extremely easy to dress up or down and I can't reiterate enough how fucking flattering these things are!

Lookbook: Los LAndia

Featuring some of my absolute favorite micro trends that I've been obsessing over, Wasteland's new lookbook is a grunge dream. Eyeballs, Bart Simpson, baseball caps and one of my favorite models, the whole lookbook sums up what LA is all about right now. Tattoo chokers and platform sneakers make the perfect accessories for a post-grunge look. Definitely diggin' this shit.

foodie

As part of the grunge movement, for some reason, food has been a hot item. Food on clothes. Usually junk food: hamburgers, ice cream, pizza and anything else these size 0 girls aren't eating. Maybe as a cheeky reminder that these girls don't go near calorie bomb foods. Needless to say, retailers are really catching on. Above is the latest lookbook from online retailer Asos, along with a tumblr picture that's been circulating. One of many that has to do with junk food. It's not just Asos though, everyone from Dolce & Gabana to Black Milk have caught on to the food phenom. Anyways, whether or not you're into it, you gotta admit, these pics make you really fuckin' hungry.

I think it was about last year when baseball caps started to become really popular. Its started with the designer versions, most notable was Prada's leather version. Then it started becoming more of a common street accessory beyond the kids that wear baggy pants. UNIF has a couple cool ones with funny slogans, Nasty Gal has some great cheap varieties and Opening Ceremony has really quirky and fun prints, although they're a bit higher priced. I've been meaning to buy one that I think I'd really wear. The UNIF one seriously captured my eye. And my wallet.

A trend that has been spotted at the last two (or three?) fashion weeks was the clear clutch and bag. With Celine and Prada both having their own designs, it wasn't that big of a shock to see it at fashion week. In real life, however, the clear bag may seem a little daring. The clear bag puts an end to the saying "you're not supposed to look into a woman's purse." I saw one at Opening Ceremony a few months back and got ahold of a clear white version. It seems the latest designs are colored or neon, which makes it a little more fun. I suggest giving the TSA a break and trying the trend. All of the styles above are available on their respective websites and all are under $100. Except the Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, of course.

So on Sunday, I talked a little bit about how I was seeing Bart Simpson everywhere after the Jeremy Scott line, and I decided to be a little more specific and make a post about it. I even caved in and bought the denim shirt in the second picture (not too bad at $28). From online retailers like Dolls Kill and She Inside, to street style like Cara Delevigne, Bart Simpson is slowly popping up. I would classify this under a micro trend, where it's seen everywhere but not everywhere, do you know what I mean? Maybe not. Don't expect to walk around your local mall anytime soon seeing Bart Simpson prints or shirts, but don't be shocked to see it on your favorite model or blogger.

This week I just decided to use a couple of pictures from the tumblr page. Something interesting though, is I think Bart Simpson's face is starting to become a trend. It kind of started with the 90s trend, then Jeremy Scott featured the Bart Simpson print in his 2012 Fall collection. Now, however, I'm seeing Bart Simpson everywhere. Well, everywhere that matters.

ear cuff

I am absolutely obsessed with ear cuffs. Ear cuffs make a boring up do interesting and unique without the pain of actually piercing your ear. The easily hook on to the top of your ear and don't hurt at all. They're also adjustable as to make sure they don't fall off. Above are some insanely awesome ear cuffs from the online store Seasons Online. They have really rad jewelry, but I'm absolutely obsessed with the ear cuffs. Further more, all the ear cuffs pictured above are under $10! That's a serious steal.

choke

Topshop; The Cobrasnake; Wasteland; Delfina Delettrez

A huge grunge trend I've been seeing pop up are chokers. I have a few myself, and I'm starting to see a lot more people become less afraid of wearing this 90s trend. Chokers have been quite popular in the past few years, but not the type we've been seeing lately. As opposed to relaxed chokers that sit high on the collar bone, these are choker, chokers. Like, if it's a little too tight, you're gonna choke. Above are a few of my favorite, including designer Delfina Delettrez who I just discovered. I'll probably dedicate a post to her later this week.
