The Surreal Life ~ Fall 2012 Trends

We’re loving this fun trend for Fall 2012 – Surrealism in the form of pretty lip shaped bags and brooches (shown above: Sonia Rykiel’s brooches; Lulu Guinness clutch; Aldo patent leather clutch; below: Lanvin, Moschino Cheap and Chic).

Also interesting:  eyes from Yaz Bukey.

Other shapes include pretty ponytails (booties from Nicholas Kirkwood) clocks, fingers and hands (below, Diane von Furstenberg clock bags; Delfina Delettrez earrings, Arfango pump).
