It's safe to say that soul songstress Beth Ditto has morphed into somewhat of a fashion icon amongst those who matter in the industry.

How do I compare thee to a lovely accessory? You can't. Accessories are what turn an outfit into fashion. They can make or break any look and we love them for it. And, if for nothing else, isn't shoe and bag shopping just so much fun?!

Cage heels are sort of like gladiators, taken to the next level. And you can expect to see them all over this spring. They might not catch on as rapidly as the gladiators did since they're a bit harder to wear, but you can bet that any good fashionista has these on her '09 must-have list!

DIY, color-on-it-yourself fashion items have had a resurgence over the last few years, and Ray Ban is the latest company to get in on the trend.

If there's one thing Vogue is good for, it's stirring up a controversy. This time Vogue India has gone and done it with a photo shoot featuring lower income Indian families using accessories by exclusive -- read expensive -- designer brands.

Not to be out done by her co-star's lovely wife, Cameron Diaz glammed it up in a white Fendi dress at the Tokyo premiere of her film, "What Happens in Vegas." As always, Cam looked fresh, fun, and age appropriate. Love this girl!

We have seen the yellow and gray combo around for some time now. The sunny hue is completely complimentary of the soft neutral and a perfect pick for those with a cool skin tone. Plus, it's a lot less harsh than its bumblebee side kick, black and yellow.

Try giving some of these mellow yellow looks a whirl.

We're not sure what to think of the latest trend to turn up on the runway: Fendi gave his male models wedges. Shoes that is. As in, he put them in heels.

True, men have been wearing subtle and not-so-subtle heels since Napoleon, and there was that outbreak of platform shoes in the 70s. Still, Fendi's decision has us stymied.

In theory, it's kind of a good idea. The wedge is a very comfortable heel in which to walk, it's not especially feminine -- a Louis heel will raise far more eyebrows -- but to us, there is something really weird about it.

Perhaps we're being stodgy, so let's put it to a vote. What are your thoughts about men in heels? Only good at a Gay Pride Parada, or the trend of tomorrow?

While trolling through the Style.com fall 2008 accessory report (yes, already) we stumbled on this wacky silver, enamel and Murano glass ring by designer Delfina Deletrezz. It was love at first sight!

Look at these pretty Fendi heels seller Runwaymodels has for sale!

The item is listed as:
"FENDI AUTH NEW TIGER PONY HAIR SHOES 8.5/38.5 $640!"

This leads us immediately to the question above and below:

As we've mentioned, our economy kind of sucks right now.

In fact, our dollar is so weak that hoards of British birds and blokes are flocking to New York City to take advantage of their fortified Euros and British pounds at places like Barneys and Saks.

I do a lot of crazy things but painting my own $1300.00 handbag is not one of them.

This coated canvas "paint-your-own" Fendi baguette is the same style of bag that was so hot in the 'Sex and the City' days. The only difference is that Carrie's bag didn't come blank and ready to decorate. Since you ain't no Carrie you have to get out your magic markers to create your own fabulous handbag.

Sounds fun (and scary) but how?

With Pantone Universe markers of course. Ten markers are packed inside a cute little Fendi box that comes with your blank canvas of a handbag. Decorate your little heart out but if you mess up you are SOL. The bags must be returned in their original condition only. A real shame if you aren't exactly a Picasso.

Buy this bag at eluxury.com if you are feeling crafty!

Next time you're at Costco picking up a 5 gallon bucket of potato salad, you might want to stroll over to the sunglasses department. Tom Ford's eyewear is joining the surprisingly long list of designer goods being sold at the low-priced megamart. Prada, Versace, Fendi, and now Tom Ford -- it's all there for Costco members.

Yeah, I was surprised too -- I didn't even know that you could buy individually packaged sunglasses at Costco, much less a $1,300 purse. No, seriously, doesn't it seem sorta wrong to be buying designer handbags at Costco? What's next Cristal on the beer aisle at Wal-Mart?

If you're like me -- totally clueless about the world of Costco -- you ought to take a look at their website; just for your own entertainment. In the men's apparel section, you can grab anything from Citzens of Humanity jeans to a pair of teflon-coated mechanic's coveralls -- truly your 1-stop shop. Capitalism at its finest.

Some of the biggest names in fashion have been freshening up their flagship stores lately. In 2007, the biggest
news was that the Christian Dior flagship store in Paris got an extreme makeover, and now Fendi has done the same. Their flagship store on Rodeo Drive has been totally redesigned.

A-Listers flocked to the unveiling of the store. Lindsay Lohan, Mandy Moore, Kate Mara, Rose McGowan and Camila Alves were all in attendance. Ok, so maybe they aren't all A-Listers, but Camila Alves is at least a B-lister now that she's been sperminated by Matthew Mcconaughey. Pregnancy in Hollywood fast tracks you up the list.

Fendi has long been a favorite brand among celebrities. Rose McGowan said of their clothes, "I really don't think you can go wrong with Fendi. You'd be hard-pressed to go wrong with Fendi. I feel very lucky to be wearing this fabulous little gown. I'm a shoe and bag girl but this gown could be one of my favorites I've ever worn. It reminds me of being on top of a music box."

You can see Rose's dress in the gallery. What do you think of her look? I like it but, my favorite of the night was little cutie Kate Mara. The futuristic silver belt she's wearing spiced up an otherwise boring little black dress, although I'm not crazy about the rest of her accessories.

I noticed these new heels making the rounds in spring issues of the fashion magazines.

Fendi has come up with a new heel that is a cross between the popular wedge and my favorite, the kitten heel. I'm calling it a "kwedge" because it doesn't seem to have a name of its own. I haven't tried out this shoe yet but I know that the way I wear a wedge and the way I wear a kitten heel is a bit different. If ever there was a shoe designed to make a girl fall over it's this one, it has a five inch heel with a 1.25 inch platform. Also, the silhouette of the shoe seems off balanced and strange like some sort of bizarre animal hybrid, a leopard and a wildebeast. The shoes sell for $485.
