Hey there!
so, first things first... while i love fashion and know all my designers and everything there is to know about their ranges and history, I dont believe that makes you fashionable. While I LOVE the quirky-ness of heatherette , the street glam of baby phat and the luxury of roberto cavalli ; I wouldnt wear exactly what the models on the ramp display to me or the diva in the posters shows me.

To be fashionable is to have your own personal style which you adapt to your mood, needs and feeling for the day or the moment.
To be trendy on the other hand is to keep up with all the latest fashions and adorn yourself in them before everybody else... or WITH everybody else.

I admit to dressing quite off beat at times but if something calls out to me, i'll wear it. I've always had a passion for handbags, shoes and clothes. Some people laughed at the way I dressed in school but I doubt I dressed TOO bad when the next weekend all my friend wore replica's of my "laughing-stock" outfit of the previous week. I trawl the vintage stores and charity shops, many days you can find me rummaging through my mothers cupboards and sifting through elderly friends clothes from the 60's and 70's. That said, I do still buy brand new...most times. Mixing old with new, re-inventing an outfit I know I wont see another person wearing and making it mine is always a good feeling.

A friend once told me that the most important accessory to any outfit is confidence.
SO.. put on that abstract outfit, throw your shoulders back, hold your head up high and look the world in the face.
