The weather is starting to swing the other way as we get ready to say good bye to summer and hello to fall. One of the hot trims trending for this fall/winter 2009 season are zippers.

You’ll be seeing them on everything from footwear to handbags and apparel. Most times, zipper treatments can feel rough around the edges but I prefer to wear my metal teeth in a more feminine way.

Like this Eryn Brinie ruffle skirt ($155). Made with a cotton stretch and one zip closure, it makes dressing up an effortless thing.
