Fashion week trends brought to you by the onlookers.

Every season I hit the tents to watch what seems like an endless stream of fashion shows. But unlike most fashion writers I don't see the need to critique the shows or pick out trends based on what I am seeing. Instead, I end up reviewing what everyone else (other than the runway models) is wearing. These are the trends I saw from the editorial assistants to celebrities: #1: The Chanel Black Leather Coco's Cabas Tote

Rumor has it Chanel gave these bags our as gifts to beauty directors last Christmas. I am still confirming that rumor with my gals at Chanel so stay tuned. Literally, EVERYONE had this totally roomy bag slung over their shoulder.

#2: Lavin Ballet Flat

OK, if you had to stand for three hours and then were faced with the challenge of walking ten blocks to the next show in five inch heels, you would want these in your oversize bag as well. Mine have glitter on them. NO I DID NOT BUY THEM. They were given to me as a present!!

#3: Christian Louboutin Lapono Shoe Boots

How fab are these shoe boots?? Paired with tights and a Rodarte shift dress (my shift was from H&M btw) the look was not original BUT it was H-O-T.
