New Year
New looks
With the start of a new year, we can look forward to many new ideas and trends in the coming months.
It can be hard to anticipate what you’ll need to keep your wardrobe up to date. Thankfully there are plenty of groups out there doing trend forecasting. It’s questionable if all or any of these predictions will end up taking hold, but it’s still fun to look.

Here are Cosmoworld’s picks.

And for fun here are Vogues predictions from last year. Remember fashion isn’t all top down so take these with a grain of salt. A trend proof closet is always in style.

Retail Crazy

After a feeble Christmas season, most retailers are continuing to slash prices in to the New Year. Just walking to work I’ve notice Banana Republic, Ann Taylor and Sax all have sale signs up. Almost every store is having 50-60% off sales right now, so just hit up any of your favorite brands or department stores and you should find deals.

I've noticed that alot of retailers are trying to clear stock by bundling. Rember it's not a deal if it's something you don't need. The real savings are on indvidual marked down items, not sets that load you up with 'free' or discounted junk.

It is worth noting Victoria’s Secret semi-annual sale starts today. You should be able to find bargains at any of their many locations.
