Spring Trends From Runway Rundown

By Kim

It's that time of year again, when the temperature drops and women put away their free-flowing frocks and mini cocktail dresses in favor of fall's subdued, camel-and-grey tones. Well, I'm not giving in: the Spring 2011 collections may not hit stores until January, but I'm already excited about them and am strategically planning my future purchases to build an affordable, on-trend Spring wardrobe.

The runway shows just wrapped up, and there are some exciting Spring 2011 trends I'd love to share with you. Of course, because I myself am a budget-conscious shopper, I'm offering some affordable alternatives like those you can find daily on Runway Rundown...but of course you'll see them on Ramshackle Glam first!

Here's a sneak peek at Runway Rundown trends you'll be seeing this Spring:

Brr!

Trying to keep warm bit pre-shoot with a giant mug of coffee. OK, now I'd really like my landlord to turn on the heat (but in the meantime, I have to stick to these quick cozy-up-your-home ideas).

Lifestyle

Hanky Panky Sample Sale!

I maintain that the Hanky Panky Sample Sale (260 Fifth Ave between 28th and 29th; starts today!) is the best sample sale around. The store where it's held every year has a rotating schedule of sample sales (they usually carry everything from DVF to La Perla - it's where I picked up this $400 nightgown for just $25), and is conveniently (or unfortunately, depending on the state of my bank account) located just a couple of blocks away from the office where I used to work.

Last year, my favorite picks were the thongs with seasonal Swarovski crystal details (Christmas trees and such). They're too cute...and wayyy cheaper than you'll find in a department store (last year basic thongs were going for $10 apiece - a little more for embellished styles).
