Trend Report: Winter White

We may have ditched the “no white after Labor Day” rule years ago, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t slightly apprehensive about head-to-toe white when it’s snowing outside. However, Fall 2012′s runways just might curb our nerves. Phillip Lim, Margiela, McQueen, Celine, and Alexander Wang all showed maxed-out ivory in their collections. We even saw the hue (or lack there of?) pop up in manicures. It just so happens that we’ve got a plethora of wintery white pieces to choose from, on auction now. Will you dare to go there?

As Seen at eDrop-Off: Marc Jacobs Venetia Satchel

Cameron Diaz is known for her simple, laid-back Californian style. She often carries a classic tote with clean lines to complete her look, like the Marc Jacobs Venetia satchel. We spotted the same bag here at EDO, but in a vibrant shade of pink to punch up your wardrobe.

EDO: Now that you’ve graduated from high school, what are your plans?
EP:  I plan to attend K-state [Kansas State University] in the fall and major in fashion marketing.

EDO: We heard you would like to own a boutique one day. What type of store would you like to own and what designers would you like to carry?
EPI would love to own a woman’s clothing boutique one day. I’m not sure  just yet what designers I’d carry but I’d like the price range to be between $300 and $1,500.

EDO: What are your favorite current trends?
EPMy favorite trends right now are pattern mixing, color blocking and pleats.

EDO: What do you want to do while in Chicago this weekend?
EPI want to go to the fireworks display and check out Forever21 because the Chicago location is way bigger than the one back home.

EDO: What was your favorite part about spending the day at eDrop-Off?
EPI love learning how to tell if a designer bag is authentic or not and finding fabulous things in the huge stockroom.
