Pink Tinted Sunnies

The short-lived craze of aviators seems to have brought in another sunglasses trend, those with pink-tinted lenses.
Pink lensed sunnies don’t really do a great job (in general) of protecting one’s eyes, but they certainly look good, and they are a great accessory to wear with a pink outfit. The most popular look similar to aviators […]

Chunky Beaded Necklaces

Beaded necklaces are in stores again, but not small beads.
Now, thick, chunky beads are back. Bold, primary colours, as well as plain black are very popular among girls… and the cheap-to-maunfacture necklaces are generally ridiculously overpriced, due to their popularity.
Still, it’s all the name of fashion.

Wide Waist Belts

“Wide” seems to be a popular accessory descriptor these days.
Many teenagers have now discovered the joys of wide waist belts; thick belts worn at or above the waist to accentuate the slimmer part of one’s figure. The style is back in on the catwalks, back on the celebrities, and now, back in shops and on […]

Wide Headbands

Earlier this year the headwear to get was a thin headband, now it seems thicker ones are more popular.
Bright colours and vivid patterns are the way to go, matching a lot of the tops currently available and selling well, with stripes and spots some of the most popular on display.
Co-ordinating the hair accessories and the […]

Aviators

After a few years where they were considered simply a novelty item, aviators are back, and are being worn by many teenagers every day.
They come in different colours, but still the same classic styles; a real throwback to the old days (not that most of us were around back then). This seems to be another […]

Studded Earrings

Studded earrings are back, but not in the plain, boring, standard gold or silver.
Large studs are becoming increasingly popular among teenage girls. Whether they be big fake diamonds or large plastic pearls, they’re one of the latest crazes worn in the earlobes.
Many look cheap, plastic, and manufactured, but it seems that the faker they look, […]

Slip-Ons

For a while, Vans were the only casual slip-on shoes on the market.
Now, the more original canvas slip-ons are back.. and while they don’t look much different to how they ever did, they’re now sold at Glassons, Jay Jays, and other similar stores, in brighter colours and different patterns.
Guess that automatically makes them look great […]

Mesh Shoes

These half-shoes became quite popular recently, especially in summer, for those too lazy to bother with your average sandal straps or backs.
Available in almost every colour, these handy little shoes sell like hotcakes from nearly every shoe shop (and the occasional clothing shop who wanted in on the market, i.e. Glassons) around the country.
Sure, they’re […]

Large Handbags

Generally speaking, a handbag is thought of to be a bag that one can carry by hand.
Not anymore, as large handbags come back. Carried by predominantly by teenage (and older) girls, they come in all sizes… but must be large in proportion to the carrier. They’re usually leather, squishy, and come in a range […]

Canvas Bags

While the craze used to be simply the pink or black canvas Supre bags, now they’re everywhere.
Pretty much every chain store in the country catering to it’s teenage female customers, now offers cheap, patterned, canvas bags (possibly in some pathetic effort to outdo Supre?). From the red-with-white-spots Glassons’ bags, to the summer-patterned, “Roxy”-branded Amazon bags, […]
