How to spot a Fashion Trend ???



Just finished reading Rachel Ashwell's blog post about her personal style...She loves cowboy boots with jeans.

...This Christmas I went shopping with my brother, Stephen, to buy his wife, Denise, a pair of...Frye Cowboy Boots.

...Went to the Accessory Show at the Javits Center 2 weeks ago & purchased... American West Handbags.

All I can say is that I want to pull out my vintage Cole Haan cowboy boots that I purchased at Neiman Marcus (on sale) about 10 years ago. Loved them so much that when I saw them at a discount store a few years later I bought a second pair.

Do I see a Western theme emerging in home decor as well...
