For those who want to know what sort of trends are coming, even to a small town Walmart or Target, one way to see is to look at Couture shoes.

These shoes and bags are created to be one of a kind in many instances in order for the designer to show what direction his/her collection will go.

Later, we see the sort of ethnic or other origins in our lower prices wear in about two years or less.

You can go to this slide show, click, "animation off," and look at as many as you can of these "mantle piece," pieces, to know what sort of trends are in the making. Also ~ The entertainment value is excellent.

We must know that the offerings from Targets and Walmarts everywhere are influenced by these sorts of outrageous pieces!

Watch as many as you can and let me know which pieces or directions in fashion interest you!

Jewelry and bags weren't so bad, but some of those shoes are the most bizarre I've seen. I didn't like the way the stie had the survey and interspred ads.
