2. Party and Cocktail Dresses
Hot Trend in Women’s Holiday Dresses (above) is to build in jewelry — rope chains, silvery embroidery, sequins and sewn-in necklaces.
The one-shoulder black shift, at bottom-right, features a removable shoulder pin that dangles long shiny swinging chains . . . converting to a little black shift for dialed-down dressy looks.

3. Year of the Fetish Shoe
The chained, rhinestoned, metallic and double ankle-strapped shoes, above, walked down international fashion runways earlier this year. These shoes would never be confused with classic office attire!
But, it has been a surprise to see comments at women’s fashion blogs discussing how to wear them and how to walk in them for special dress-up evenings. Or, at parties for the approaching holidays. To Each, Her Own Bling.

4. The Hot Toy This Year Is A Robot
Meet Zhu Zhu Pets – interactive, plush, artificially intelligent, battery-powered hamsters.. Zhu Zhu Pets squeak, chatter, scamper and have a repertoire of 40 different sound effects, which they use “intelligently” in different situations.
Targeted to children aged 3 years and up – and to parents who want to teach their kids to care for a pet but who don’t want to deal with an animal that messes in its environment – Zhu Zhu Pets come with their own habitats. Here’s a sample of Zhu Zhu habitats … 
These non-messing cuddly pets also come with their own personalities and quirks. One Zhu Zhu hamster pack includes: Pipsqueak, Squiggles, Chunk and Num Nums.

Nice bit of trend-sniffing, Marie!
Killer strappy dominatrix shoes with loads of bling are HOT in China these days, and it looks like the shiny materials for dresses are the preferred match to those outrageous heels. Just so you know, a lot of girls are wearing them in my office… scary stuff, eh?
To be honest, I’ll take those little robot hamsters over that any day!
