Journal #5 The store I picked to browse was Anthropologie. I shop there frequently and I know that they usually have a wide selection of clothes, bags, shoes and things for your home. The five trends that I noticed were: bright colors, patterns, leather, gold and lace. Bright colors are trend that is being shown all through out women’s clothing this year. But, I noticed the trend has followed through on shoes as well home accessories. Bright colored jeans have been shown a lot this season as well as in dresses, tops and jackets. Bright colored shoes are something else that I have noticed as well, from navy blue loafers with a yellow tassel or yellow lace up heels with a wooden heel. In the home department I noticed bright colored bowls that range from every color of the rainbow as well as “farmer market” baskets to hold all your produce. Bright colors are clearly a trend not only in clothes but in shoes and in the home as well. The second trend I noticed was patterns. I really have never noticed a pattern on shoes before besides maybe more in summer heels or polka dots. But, this winter I noticed patterns on shoes as well. One shoe in particular really caught my eye with this trend. The shoe is a loafer heel with a pattern fabric in the middle for a pop. Another shoe had a plaid pattern heel, another with a floral pattern and another with a paisley pattern. Scarfs are also a perfect example of the pattern trend. Clutches and wallets have also shown a pattern trend this season as well from stripes as well as different cut out patterns. There were also several patterns from robes and pajamas in the store as well. While pajamas seem to always have a pattern the robes are very bold patterns and bright as well. Leather is another trend that I have noticed in Anthropologie as well. Leather was shown in shoes as it usually is but as well in purses and clutches. I also noticed that leather was a huge trend in home accessories like sofas and even in pillows. Jackets and vests are also being made with leather. While leather is a consistent trend that will never really go away, but every year it is evolving into something even better. Gold is also another staple trend that will never go away. I have noticed this trend heavily in jewelry. But also in clothing from gold colored corduroy pants, gold colored blouses as well as jackets. I feel like a gold trend is not only the metal but as well as the color of items. There was also gold sequins jacket as well as gold beading on shawls in the store. There were also gold hair accessories that were in the store as well, from metal headbands to gold sparkle headpieces. Lace is another trend that I noticed in the store. Several tops and dresses all had lace, weather it was a dominant part of the outfit or a trim to give it a little something extra. Lace was also shown in different colored tights. This is a trend that is usually paired with a simple dress and lace tights. Lace patterns were also shown

Journal  #5    The  store  I  picked  to  browse  was  Anthropologie.  I  shop  there  frequently  and  I  know  that  they  usually  have  a  wide  selection  of  clothes,  bags,  shoes  and  things  for  your  home.  The  five  trends  that  I  noticed  were:  bright  colors,  patterns,  leather,  gold  and  lace.      Bright  colors  are  trend  that  is  being  shown  all  through  out  women’s  clothing  this  year.  But,  I  noticed  the  trend  has  followed  through  on  shoes  as  well  home  accessories.  Bright  colored  jeans  have  been  shown  a  lot  this  season  as  well  as  in  dresses,  tops  and  jackets.  Bright  colored  shoes  are  something  else  that  I  have  noticed  as  well,  from  navy  blue  loafers  with  a  yellow  tassel  or  yellow  lace  up  heels  with  a  wooden  heel.  In  the  home  department  I  noticed  bright  colored  bowls  that  range  from  every  color  of  the  rainbow  as  well  as  “farmer  market”  baskets  to  hold  all  your  produce.  Bright  colors  are  clearly  a  trend  not  only  in  clothes  but  in  shoes  and  in  the  home  as  well.      The  second  trend  I  noticed  was  patterns.  I  really  have  never  noticed  a  pattern  on  shoes  before  besides  maybe  more  in  summer  heels  or  polka  dots.  But,  this  winter  I  noticed  patterns  on  shoes  as  well.  One  shoe  in  particular  really  caught  my  eye  with  this  trend.  The  shoe  is  a  loafer  heel  with  a  pattern  fabric  in  the  middle  for  a  pop.  Another  shoe  had  a  plaid  pattern  heel,  another  with  a  floral  pattern  and  another  with  a  paisley  pattern.  Scarfs  are  also  a  perfect  example  of  the  pattern  trend.  Clutches  and  wallets  have  also  shown  a  pattern  trend  this  season  as  well  from  stripes  as  well  as  different  cut  out  patterns.  There  were  also  several  patterns  from  robes  and  pajamas  in  the  store  as  well.  While  pajamas  seem  to  always  have  a  pattern  the  robes  are  very  bold  patterns  and  bright  as  well.      Leather  is  another  trend  that  I  have  noticed  in  Anthropologie  as  well.  Leather  was  shown  in  shoes  as  it  usually  is  but  as  well  in  purses  and  clutches.  I  also  noticed  that  leather  was  a  huge  trend  in  home  accessories  like  sofas  and  even  in  pillows.    Jackets  and  vests  are  also  being  made  with  leather.  While  leather  is  a  consistent  trend  that  will  never  really  go  away,  but  every  year  it  is  evolving  into  something  even  better.      Gold  is  also  another  staple  trend  that  will  never  go  away.  I  have  noticed  this  trend  heavily  in  jewelry.  But  also  in  clothing  from  gold  colored  corduroy  pants,  gold  colored  blouses  as  well  as  jackets.  I  feel  like  a  gold  trend  is  not  only  the  metal  but  as  well  as  the  color  of  items.    There  was  also  gold  sequins  jacket  as  well  as  gold  beading  on  shawls  in  the  store.  There  were  also  gold  hair  accessories  that  were  in  the  store  as  well,  from  metal  headbands  to  gold  sparkle  headpieces.        Lace  is  another  trend  that  I  noticed  in  the  store.  Several  tops  and  dresses  all  had  lace,  weather  it  was  a  dominant  part  of  the  outfit  or  a  trim  to  give  it  a  little  something  extra.    Lace  was  also  shown  in  different  colored  tights.  This  is  a  trend  that  is  usually  paired  with  a  simple  dress  and  lace  tights.  Lace  patterns  were  also  shown
