Fringed Footwear:
Abandon those gladiators in favor of something a bit more refined, darlings!
CC is loving these L.A.M.B. Yoyo chain mail t-strap high-heeled sandals, available at shopbop.com
The fringe on these Jimmy Choo wave suede boots is understated and chic; $660 at net-a-porter 
French Connection Charlston Flapper Dress; visit usa.frenchconnection.com. This fabulous dress also comes in a white spaghetti strap version!
CC is totally enamored of this Thayer Crete miniskirt, for purchase at shopbop.com; it is available in black, navy (ppictured here), and gold!
Elizabeth and James fringe jacket. Go to intermixonline.com
Foley & Corrina metal fringe jersey top, at the Intermix, New York.
The fringe on this Viktor & Rolf silk blouse is attached, for a more subdued look. Go to net-a-porter.com.

If you are skeptical about acting the flapper, ease into the trend with a handbag. Not only will it give you a small dose of this potentially OTT style, but a fringed handbag is a tad less trendy, so you will be able to use it for years to come (particularly if it's an evening bag). For those fashionistas looking to make an investment, opt for this colorful Fendi hide hair Baguette. 
Jimmy Choo black fringe hobo. This and previous at neimanmarcus.com.
Antik Batik Juddy small bag, at shopbop.

CC leaves with you a lovely bag by one of her favorite handbag designers, the talented Ms. Monica Botkier (who has a line coming to Target in August - we can't wait!!). This gorgeous gold Botkier Morgan small fringed satchel is available at nordstrom.com.
So live on the fringe, darlings!
Great Post....!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I'd kill for that Gucci handbag!!!
ReplyDeleteI am totally on board with the fringe trend but I will have to respectfully disagree about the Gucci bag which to me looks like a part of the female anatomy that I don't want to carry around on my arm ;-)
ReplyDeleteHe disfrutado mucho con este post, me encanta ver imágenes con vestidos, zapatos, bolsos, con toda la moda, aunque yo no la siga a rajatabla porque me gusta más la ropa cómoda.
ReplyDeleteEncantada de estar en tu precioso blog, y muchas gracias, de nuevo, por tu visita a mi blog.
Un beso.
ooh I love the french connection dress-gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not that fond of the fringe trend, byt the Botkier Morgan bas was really beautiful!

ReplyDeleteFringes are great.I've been looking for a bag or boots so long now but without any succes.I'm thinking of getting minnetonkas.

ReplyDeleteI love fringes..especially on bags! And I am so putting the Thayer Crete miniskirt on my wishlist. Great post as always!

I love the reinvention of the flapper, especially the Chanel Couture collection with all of the pieces and accessories inspired from that era. Now, only if menswear could be this creative lol

i am trying to stay away from fringe fashion but it seens i can't escape. then maybe if i can't beat them, i shall join?
ReplyDeleteI like the rose pink fringed bag! I love fringe, but sadly can't find a lot of variations here in the philippines. great post carrie, as always =)

i've always been wildly drawn to fringe dresses and i think when paired with some flat boots, creates a fabulous look (that never looks like a flapper).
ReplyDeleteVery cool post -- I like how things look so romantic but also unabashedly sexy in a lot of ways.
ReplyDeleteOh and thanks for the add! I have totally linked you as well! :)
I love the Jimmy Choos, perfect for fall and will go with just about anything. Great collection of pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love feathers.

And couture.

ReplyDeleteI like the anna sui blue fringe boots! gahhh.
ReplyDeleteI like the French Connection dress. It's like a muppet and a baseball tee combined to make a funky cool dress! lol...
ReplyDeleteDid you do this just to torment me with wonderful fringe options?
ReplyDeleteThat's great, I can go shop in my mom's closet and dig out pieces like these to wear this year!

That Galliano dress was an amazing way to start this post. I also loved the DKNY dress, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHermes gear is classic. I'm digging the whole look. I'll have to see where I could score similar stuff!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. Coincidentially I just posted an outfit with a fringed bag.
ReplyDeletethough i don't love all those designs. i do adore the flapper inspiried dresses and as well the tokyo street style - vogue ones. =) another brilliant post. ^_^
ReplyDeleteOh yes. I especially love fringe on shoes and bags.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Love those fringes. The Gucci fall collection is a favorite of mine.
ReplyDeleteLovee the fringes!! Wonder if it would look good on me though..haha! I think I'd like to have a fringe skirt!
ReplyDeletewow, some very sophisticated usage of fringe here!
ReplyDeleteMy mom tried to get me into fringe with a 3.1 phillip lim dress and I just couldn't do it [even though it looked great on!] it's one of those trends that keeps coming back and I'm going to have to keep ignoring because I think it's silly on 90% of people.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely gorgeous!!!!! amazing items :) xoxo, lulu
ReplyDeleteI've never seen so many fascinating examples of fringe in my life. I love this.
ReplyDeleteFringes on boots look like so much fun to wear!
