We've noticed a bloomer trend on the Spring 09 catwalks and now, just in time for New Year's Eve, holiday versions are cropping up. Pair bloomers with opaque tights, strong heels, a cotton basic, and a boyfriend blazer and you've got yourself a chic going-out outfit. This trend, of course, is not for everyone but we will say that those we've seen it on have been women of all shapes and sizes--not just model-sized gals. At any rate, if this is something you might like to try out, there are plenty of options under 100 dollars. Out two favorites are the Silence and Noise Ruffled Tap Pant ($32, left) and the Topshop Sequin Knicker Hot Pant ($50). Better to buy them on the cheap, just in case you change your mind at the last minute...
Bloomer Look Proliferates Just In Time For New Year's

Matt & Nat handbags are priced around two hundred dollars and come in all kinds of metallic and exposed zip trendiness. Made of 100% vegan materials they are both fashionable and socially responsible and that, college confidence or no, is something to feel strongly about. This rice paper zip clutch is our personal favorite but you can find other awesome examples
