Cutting Edge: lasercut trends

One of spring/summer trends that I have been obsessing about recently comes from an old idea of the weave and wicker basket style patterns.  It's cute but much more intricate in detailing --laser cut designs.  It's been popping up in clothing patterns, shoes and other accessories.  It's so gorge!

The cuts can range in various patterns and the intricacies are just amazing!  It can also vary in prices so don't think that just because it's intricately designed, it's going to break the bank.  You'll see after the jump, that some of my pieces aren't so expensive, but the detailing makes it look pricier!

check out the accessories in my closet from this trend!

Dream weavin' for spring 2011!

Okay, so the temperature still hasn't cracked 0 degrees, and the more sun we seem to see the lower the temp seems to drop...Nevertheless it still hasn't stopped me from thinking of spring!  I am anticipating the warmer weather, when I can finally strut my stuff in less clothing! lol.

I love some of the spring trends, the bright colours, minimalist whites and okay, even the florals lol.  There is one trend which comes back every year and make it into some fashion house spring fashion line-up for their ready-to-wear collection, the weave pattern.  I love the basket weave pattern, it's so spring/summer! It looks like refreshing and a great contrast for minimal whites.

Some of the few things that have caught my eye!

Laser-cuts make it easier to make a weave pattern on all types of textiles especially leather.  I love this.

 In any accessory, the lasercut or weave pattern is a great way to add spice to your spring/summer wardrobe.  I love using it as a contrasting piece to make minimalist white pop more.  So many to choose from!
